Does thinking Piers Morgan is a mint satisfy this? Ask a legal expert.<br /><br />I recall I was once approached by a prostitute in Croydon. I was slightly perplexed when she simply said "Business?", stating in return that I wasn't on business but had come to watch Hull City. It took me a long while afterwards to work out what she actually meant.<br /><br />On another visit, I ended up hugging somebody who had temporarily mislaid some electrical component or other.

He looks like he's ready to 'protest' Rambo style. :)<br /><br />"True, there might be dog shit on every pavement, five fried chicken shops on every street, but as South East London goes, I just sense there's a element of local pride, humour and determination, amidst the hipster bulltwank, stabbings and fifty eight Deliveroo debasists trying to run me down."<br /><br />I sense an inner... hostility. ;)<br /><br />"Spreadeagle with my Dad"<br /><br />That conjures up a disturbing image.<br /><br />"as my lifestyle is a lot more sedentary if that's the word"<br /><br />It is.<br /><br />"Sorry, seem to be in a feisty mood this evening.

I foolishly bought a 12 pack of 'light' ales (plus a lager) when we got back from Edmonton a few weeks ago (visiting our lads and our grandson). No bloody taste to them whatsoever. :(<br /><br />"whilst Laurence blinks into the middle distance and wonders if he's achieved his life's goal, or whether there's still more to come from him."<br /><br />That'll be you when you've completed BRAPA!
