All you teccy guys have to do is learn to talk in your sleep with a set of headphones on and everyone assumes you are working!<br /><br />Ashtrays are officially out legally, considered as they are now after my little fraca as lethal weapons. As far as Valentines gifts go, maybe we could FFE (Free From Explosive) some slightly smaller diameter ammmunition (after all 105 mm would not merely stretch the imagination) and offer those instead? As far as their use as confetti, I would definitley use them to shower the man who cuckolded me and went on to marry my ex wife. But then I would be in trouble again, wouldn't I?Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-2055610490922018162013-02-18T19:28:04.424+01:002013-02-18T19:28:04.424+01:00Oh it'll be a coffee one, definitely.

I tend to read these at work so will shut the door, take phone off hook, bring in food and a jug of coffee and to cap off, read out loud so people think I am having a speaker phone conference with someone.<br /><br />From the little hints you have given, I am wondering if recycled artillery ashtrays have become the valentine’s gift of choice or wedding shower gifts.<br />Nigel Peacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18316662790230511444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-87839713670457136652013-02-17T20:28:48.119+01:002013-02-17T20:28:48.119+01:00I have been reading your blog ever since you comme...I have been reading your blog ever since you commented on Ins G's blog.
