I was interested in orienteering once. Couldn't do it now as I have a balance problem (falling down in the dark 😂).
Hope you're training is successful.

I personally would like to see them banned for private use and only allowed for displays.

I had to give my dog Luki Valium just so she didn't have a heart attack.

Or early Diwali celebrations? It starts in Leicester early October then we have the November 5th build up, then the Christmas build up then up to New Year. So fireworks non stop from early Oct to mid January. Then of course, Feb/March Chinese new year.
Why I left the city. I hate it.

Right I give in. I'm going to have to turn up the thermostat. It's bloody freezing in this house.
Well, a bit too cool at any rate.

Crikey. Some uncool journo saying Johnny Cash, the coolest dude, was "deeply uncool".

SMH.
