You almost locked yourself out of my flat? snoopcester Send a noteboard - 14/01/2010 03:40:10 PM
And what exactly were you doing in it in the first place?><img class=' />

Luckily I wasn't planning to spend the night here anyway. And the next day I could pick up a spare key that some plumbers had, after doing a bunch of work here and then forgetting to leave it.

Your prerogative. Told you you could use burger, but that it was a waste. *NM* nossy - 14/01/2010 01:47:31 PM 733 Views
If one can get a burger anywhere, how does it make it less American? Tom - 14/01/2010 02:59:12 PM 1292 Views
I'm fine with it being the quintessential american food nossy - 14/01/2010 03:01:48 PM 1265 Views

Because I didn't care to. And I still wouldn't. nossy - 14/01/2010 05:53:23 PM 1280 Views
