Plus, of course, Commerzbank is looking equally shaky and it's an election year. She's damned either way.Quote:

Vancouver and NY are awash with 'bitter and ale' but it's all cold and carbonated, so lager really.

Personally I could, ah, fvck the said lardrse. I mean given the right circumstances, the right granny porn, etc, alcohol, etc. Plus a cash reward of course. :hide:Quote:
