    @ grootblousmile:
    Just logged on after a day in the mall with my “big” kids.

    Varking pissed off. Wives and aangetroude families. Think I must go find a cosy pub where women take their kit off and get merrily pissed on my own.

    I’ve planned to record the last game of the day and watch it when all of the visitors have left, but as I feel now I can just as well go and drink myself into oblivion and fukc the rugger.

    Enjoy the cricky tomorrow all.

    I think I’ll watch the President’s Cup through the night. Golf balls don’t lie!
