(When Spurs reached – Read More-
There was a supermodel once called Elle McPherson. Known as ‘The Body’. Even though her body was about 6 feet tall and six inches at its widest point. Or ‘points’, maybe. I saw her once. We stopped to buy water (I was with Mel, on holiday, its what you do) at a shopping mall in – Read More-
America is voting for a new President this year. It’s in the constitution and therefore can’t be changed. Like gun laws, or total lack of them, it is enshrined.
