I wonder if I need glasses. Do they all have this unfortunate problem of misting up?Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-68223914558076911252018-01-30T12:36:24.781+00:002018-01-30T12:36:24.781+00:00The foggy glasses round avoidance ploy can always ...The foggy glasses round avoidance ploy can always be relied on.

An invalid break of journey could result in a conviction under the Regulation of Railways Act, which would be seen as a crime of moral turpitude, thus making it harder to access the land of Jozy Altidore. Though I'm sure the Clink and the Mags will soon be micropubs so you could tick them off.Tom Irvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707212109059322727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-43107079359452238992018-01-22T20:52:54.238+00:002018-01-22T20:52:54.238+00:00Yup, big fan of Carry On, which probably has an in...Yup, big fan of Carry On, which probably has an influence. :)<br /><br />Smart fellow your Dad avoiding a round due to foggy glasses. <br /><br />And in deference to Martin I will forgo what I would mostly have replied to your final lines.
