    Speak for yourself! We get a regular milk-truck where I am just now and I have two or three tea-strainers in the house

    The bushes by Makro at Sighthill Park used to be made up of equal parts trees and pornos when I was a bairn. You could almost see more tits and fannys in there than you could see at Tynecastle.
