shdybr8

**hugs sprite**

12:22 am

dcseain

so it's creamy and/or aspicky?

12:22 am

saintfranny

i mean the basics of the recipe are sugar, cream, and flour, so you can gather an idea. aspicky? never heard that word.. yes, creamy, but not gooey

12:23 am

dcseain

sounds worth a try. seemed unlikely that it was the least like aspic.

12:23 am

saintfranny

i'll be entering my sugar coma any moment now

1:13 am

Hugabugs

Hi Sprite! :o) long time no talk to

1:14 am

sprite

*hugs Hugs*

1:14 am

Hugabugs

I love my new job!

1:14 am

sprite

have just been reading english with my kids, before school. There are times I totally adore them, isn't that scary, LOL.

1:15 am

rururocks

I have ra4/4 + ra5/10 + ra6/18 X2 + ra4/8... what am I missing on the left R

1:15 am

sprite

oh WOW Hugs, that is great! So they do really appreciate you as much as they should?

1:15 am

dcseain

what were you reading them, sprite?

1:15 am

Hugabugs

even more....

1:16 am

sprite

that is impossible, Hugs, but still I am so glad for you! And you like the work too :)
Well done my lady Hugabugs!

1:16 am

sprite

dc: Arrows of the Queen, by Mercedes Lackey. I read and translate, but only the things they do not know themselves. They are as enthusiastic as I am. It is so much fun!

1:17 am

Hugabugs

the owners' (Husband & Wife) are friends with this couple my sister also hangs around with... and she heard from this couple how much the owners were bragging about me... *blush* but it feels sooooo good

1:17 am

dcseain

lovely book, that

1:17 am

sprite

Hugs, you deserve no less! I am so happy for you. You were due a job like this :D

1:18 am

Hugabugs

It took a long time coming, but I finally got what I wanted

1:18 am

dcseain

ri6, ruru

1:18 am

Hugabugs

and I fit in so well, I've been there 5 weeks and they said it feels like months

1:18 am

sprite

dc: yes, I love it :)
And now my kids do too. Imagine, my daughter does not even get english at school, she will start in January with it. And my son just 1 year now. But they learn from tv and computergames and music... they already know SO much!

1:19 am

Hugabugs

that's wonderful sprite!

1:19 am

dcseain

it's amazing the way they sponge up data, isn't it

1:19 am

Hugabugs

well, I have to get to bed. Goodnight everyone *hugs*

1:19 am

sprite

you were part of the team from the very first moment, if I remember correctly, Hugs :)
It is so great to hear you talk about it now... bumpy flight but wonderful landing, isn't it :)

1:19 am

dcseain

pleasant dreams, hugs

1:19 am

MVA

night hugs

1:20 am

sprite

oh yes dc, it is. They learn without even trying.

1:20 am

sprite

night Hugs! *hugs Hugs again*

1:21 am

Jellen

G'night, Hugs

1:21 am

sprite

the funny thing is, I just thought I'd try some reading with them, but I don't want to feel them obliged to learn before school even. But they would love me to read to them all day. They get up earlier now so we can read 10 minutes longer. Can you believe it?

1:22 am

sprite

love the icon, Jellen!

1:22 am

sprite

arrrrrrrpurrrrrr! Pirate kitty!

1:22 am

dcseain

i can, sprite. if they like that, they'll like these, too: http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Rising-Boxe

1:22 am

Jellen

Thanks, sprite.

1:23 am

Jellen

It's so special that you read with your kids, sprite!

1:24 am

sprite

it is lovely to do it, Jellen!

1:24 am

sprite

dc, thanks! That was some link, LOL... took 5 times copying to get it. But a great tip :D

1:25 am

Jellen

Is that the Susan Cooper series, dc?

1:25 am

dcseain

yes, sorry about that, but i figured it'd be faster for me to find there.

1:25 am

dcseain

i read them when i was young and loved them.

1:25 am

dcseain

esp The Grey King, which i read first, then went and read the others.

1:26 am

dcseain

yes, jellen

1:26 am

sprite

I have written them down, dc, thanks :) Yes they are, Jellen.

1:26 am

sprite

looks like I will love them myself as well. Will order them and read them first, dc :) :)

1:27 am

dcseain

Sprite, do you know of Maus? Two volume graphic novels Maus I & Maus II, about the holocaust, with anthropomorphic animals in place of people. Good books, though your kids are a bit young for them yet.

1:27 am

dcseain

Very well done, and not overly graphic

1:28 am

Atalante

and Earthsea. they'd love it

1:28 am

sprite

but we will take a long time finishing Talia. Reading and translating together takes a lot of time. But when we get further, we will be able to NOT translate more and just read, so speed will become a bit higher later on.

1:28 am

dcseain

oh yes, earthsea

1:28 am

Jellen

I loved Earthsea, Ata

1:28 am

sprite

also from COoper?

1:28 am

sprite

I know Earthsea, I think... not from Cooper

1:29 am

MVA

got to go, have fun, loved the Susan Cooper series!! bye

1:29 am

Jellen

Didn't read them until I was an adult. Ursula K. LeGuin

1:29 am

dcseain

correct

1:29 am

Atalante

Ursula le Guin

1:29 am

dcseain

I really like LeGuin's works

1:29 am

sprite

I do not know Maus, I think. Or is it the same as Of Mice And Men?

1:29 am

sprite

yup, that is the one, Ata, I know that one :)

1:29 am

dcseain

no, very much not Of Mice and Men.

1:30 am

sprite

ah good, will check them out then, dc, thanks :)

sprite

owwwww watch me making this very intelligent remark: crwth is a phantom today.

1:33 am

dcseain

1:34 am

Jellen

Hawaiian goose alert (I'm slow)

1:34 am

sprite

never thought I would be able to pull that one off, grinnnn.

1:35 am

sprite

I love that Hawaiian goose. Always makes me think of Sissi and her sister's nickname.

1:35 am

dcseain

hawai'ian goose? Huh?

1:35 am

Jellen

dcseain

1:40 am

sprite

1:41 am

dcseain

pigs are at least as aerodyamic as a housefly, after all

1:43 am

sprite

with wings big enough, even an elephant will fly

1:44 am

Jellen

Launching pigs is a facinorous thing to do.

1:44 am

sprite

I agree, Jellen.

1:44 am

Atalante

wings big enough, and a big engine

1:44 am

dcseain

indeed it is, jellen

1:45 am

sprite

oh, I think they managed to do that, Ata. I heard some of those pass above our house lately.

1:45 am

dcseain

1:48 am

mrpresident

1:48 am

sprite

even putrid is a phantom today :(

1:50 am

dcseain

oh, that reminds me, i should address the differences between poder and pudrir in an upcoming lesson with my student.

1:50 am

Atalante

we all have to be careful not to mention cute little baby cats today

1:50 am

joso

hi sprite, noticed the greek booze word huh.

1:50 am

sprite

owwww joso, it was you who mentioned it, not dc! I am so sorry! Now where did I put my brain...

1:51 am

sprite

guess I like you guys just as much, lol.

1:51 am

dcseain

oh, good. i know i know 1 greek drink, and i'm allergic enough for the smell to cause me trouble.

1:51 am

joso

1:51 am

Atalante

phantom: termite

1:52 am

sprite

1:52 am

sprite

retsina and samos are lovely though

1:52 am

dcseain

and i'm severly allergic to anise/fennel

1:53 am

mrpresident

oh dear dcs!

1:53 am

sprite

mrP, do you like sake?

1:53 am

joso

the one in the grid is loosly grape based, verry loosly, and has a dangerous charm

1:53 am

mrpresident

I LOVE SAKE!! any white alcohol except aniseed :D

1:54 am

dcseain

eh, mrp, i know how to explain that in any number of languages, and except in Italian cuisine, it's easy to avoid.

1:54 am

sprite

mrp..... discussed your great invitation-plans with the family yesterday and they are all excited. One day we will come, send men and kids away and drink sake until we are high as a ki4 Â±D

1:55 am

licketySplitAUS

me as troll says - pass the warm liquid

1:55 am

sprite

it is, dc, but being allergic to anything is still not funny.

1:55 am

o-o

why not simply get a ladder if you want to get high

1:56 am

sprite

ok... then we send the kids to bed and have a ball with the 4 of us, Lickety :D

1:56 am

mrpresident

Oh sprite! we would have a ball!! Lickety, sprite and the family are considering a trip down under!

1:56 am

sprite

I cannot climb ladders anymore, alas.

1:56 am

sprite

not this year though... must save lots of money first!

1:56 am

dcseain

i'm also allergic to caraway, so i eat little rye bread, and little schwartzbrot, unless i bake them myself.

1:56 am

licketySplitAUS

mrp - why to australia - it's a horrible place. Not that I wouldn't love to me sprite and family.

1:57 am

1:57 am

Jellen

G'night, joso

1:57 am

mrpresident

haha lickety... he is trying keep people away from australia, cause they end up living here when they come and visit :D

1:57 am

dcseain

all the americans i know who've gone to Oz love it there.

1:58 am

sprite

dc, what is caraway? Sounds like someone who did not pay his monthly vehicle fee, but...

1:58 am

dcseain

Ruebenkraut it's called in German.

1:58 am

sprite

I thought as much, mrP :)
Well... wouldn't be a real bad thing, now would it... we could become neighbours, LOL

1:58 am

mrpresident

hehehe sprite! it is a seed used in hungarian cooking

1:58 am

licketySplitAUS

is caraway a way to slowly pay off a car? Or is it a water bird?

1:59 am

dcseain

it's a seed of a member of the carrot family, i'm allergice to pieces of the carrot family, including dill seed, but not dill weed.

1:59 am

sprite

cardamom? or is that something else?

1:59 am

o-o

perhaps an automobile launcher?

1:59 am

licketySplitAUS

dcseain - lucky you're not a rabbit!

1:59 am

dcseain

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caraway

2:00 am

dcseain

cardamom is very different, and i love it.

2:00 am

mrpresident

caraway is a seed for sure. I particularly hate it in bread

2:00 am

Atalante

http://www.uni-graz.at/~katzer/engl/Ca
ru_car.html

2:00 am

dcseain

i can eat carrots, celery, celery seed, carrot greens, dill weed, but no other bits of the carrot family. I've not tried celeriac, aka celery root.

2:00 am

sprite

ahhhh cumin. Now I do know cumin.

2:00 am

dcseain

caraway is not cumin

2:01 am

dcseain

it looks similar, but is VERY differen.

2:01 am

mrpresident

caraway is an acquired taste for sure

2:01 am

Atalante

Because of its uniform shape, consistent color, and oil content, Dutch caraway is considered the premium seed. !!

2:01 am

mrpresident

it looks like a black grass seed and tastes like licorice

2:01 am

licketySplitAUS

well dcseain - you have the most interesting allegery I've heard of. Mine are just cats, rabbits and horses.

2:02 am

dcseain

yes it is, ata.

2:02 am

sprite

yayyyy Ata! :D :D

2:02 am

dcseain

licorice eaten around me is a double plus ungood, too.

2:02 am

sprite

persian cumin, they say. Something else than the cumin I know.

2:02 am

Atalante

Both the English and the Dutch refer to caraway as Wild cumin/Wilde komijn.

2:03 am

dcseain

ah, good to know.

2:03 am

sprite

found it. Dutch names are karwijzaad, kummel.

2:03 am

dcseain

odd, as it's entirely unrelated botanically, though the seeds look similar.

2:04 am

dcseain

karwijzaad is caraway?

2:04 am

licketySplitAUS

it is used in rice dishes?

2:04 am

dcseain

cumin is, yes.

2:04 am

sprite

here it says: karwijzaad (caraway) is somewhat moonshaped, while komijn (cumin) seeds are straight.

2:04 am

dcseain

caraway, not usually. caraway is used in breads and in pork dishes

2:04 am

dcseain

yes, exactly, sprite.

2:05 am

dcseain

at least in Austro-hungarian foods, the caraway.

2:05 am

mrpresident

it is used in hungarian goulash

2:05 am

dcseain

pork+sauerkraut+mash potatoes+cumin=krumpli

2:05 am

sprite

caraway is stronger in taste than cumin, but they taste very much like eachother. Perhaps that is why the Persian cumin name exists.

2:05 am

rolin

my nanna used to make caraway seed cake

2:06 am

dcseain

clue fro the ti4/8 before the auto part, pls?

2:06 am

Atalante

mmmm love caraway

2:06 am

dcseain

caraway below, not cumin, i'm all befuddled and hopped up on sugar.

2:06 am

2:14 am

herinfernallady

2:14 am

dcseain

ginger makse many things better.

2:15 am

dcseain

:)

2:16 am

Atalante

and garlic

2:16 am

sprite

only he uses lemon and not orange. Will pass the hint :)

2:17 am

Atalante

orange is better

2:17 am

herinfernallady

No citrus in this house. I have lime but that is for my chilli jam but he very really touches that

2:17 am

dcseain

i use lime if i include parsley, but i agree, orange is best

2:18 am

dcseain

apple and carrot is nice, too.

2:18 am

Atalante

oh interesting

2:18 am

Atalante

wouldn't have thought of that

2:19 am

sprite

sounds good to me! How do you make it with apple, dc? I could make it a side dish tomorrow.

2:19 am

dcseain

carrot, apple, date, macerated in wine, chopped together, maybe with a hint of onion and/or garlic. nice sweet/savory that goes well with rich things.

2:19 am

herinfernallady

:( cant use citrus as i dont want a twitchty dried out b/f

2:20 am

dcseain

but mummies are cool, lady!

2:20 am

herinfernallady

Yes they are but i dont want him to have back spasms so bad he has 2 days off work like the last time he drank a can of solo

2:20 am

dcseain

sprite, chop apple and carrot, and cook together, adding the apple a bit into the carrot cook time so it doesn't get too mushy.

2:21 am

dcseain

solo is a citrus soda?

2:21 am

galeystarr

Hi ev1! Can I have a clue for FR6?

herinfernallady

2:22 am

galeystarr

2:22 am

sprite

fr7 rhymes with one of the main tastes... not sweet, sour or salt.

2:22 am

sprite

and which herbs or stuff, if any, dc?

2:23 am

dcseain

coconut water with pineapple is superior to coconut water with passion fruit, to my palate at least.

2:23 am

sprite

to mine too... lovely combination that

2:23 am

herinfernallady

DC i dont know if you remember Rondo but thats what it is

2:23 am

dcseain

with that combo, sprite, i like the slightest hint of cinnamon, a dash of cardamom, and some salt, finish with a hint of pepper.

2:24 am

dcseain

Rondo is a dance to me, from French rondeau.

2:24 am

herinfernallady

Ok

2:25 am

sprite

sounds wonderful. Am going to make it tomorrow, dc, thanks :D

2:25 am

dcseain

4:06 am

Haz1558

That's okay, dc, I'm trying to wrestle words out of the grid as well.

4:06 am

dcseain

though the times in this log always confuse me a bit, cause they're an hour behind me, so i loose track of time.

4:07 am

Haz1558

Multiple time zones with people wishing each other good morning and evening is kind of confusing as well.

4:07 am

dcseain

this one tonight took me about 3.5 hours, with much chatting

4:07 am

dcseain

true.

4:08 am

dcseain

Andree

i have not even had time to open laptop since sunday

4:26 am

dcseain

4:28 am

Andree

i am one of the few that likes the smaller grids

4:28 am

Yvo

with a bigger grid i seem to find more words,this grid is hard at least for me.found 30 words in an hour,so after my swim ill do better,take care see you later.refreshed and all those words will jump at me

4:29 am

dcseain

i like the medium ones 120ish-250ish

4:29 am

Andree

i hope to sell my business and retire, then i will want HUGE grids,lol

4:29 am

Haz1558

OKay, Yvo, have a good swim.

4:29 am

dcseain

the small ones are tough, you find a bunch, then the last 20 are frustrating.

4:30 am

Haz1558

Yes, Andree, then you can be like lynxxx and do what you lke.

4:31 am

Andree

i cannot wait haz, just have to find someone to buuy

4:31 am

Haz1558

I hope it happens soon for you.

4:33 am

Andree

I never thought i would be working at my age, we just take what life gives out

4:34 am

Andree

i am lucky i have my health and so its okay

4:34 am

Haz1558

That's true.

4:35 am

lilliann

good morning and afternoon to everyone.i'm behind today as i had to go to my daughter's school and sort things out as she's being bullied and she's only 7,well 8 this month.bless her.

4:35 am

Haz1558

Good morning lilliann.

4:35 am

dcseain

morning, lilliann, how awful, esp at such a young age.

4:35 am

dcseain

glad to hear you're following through on it.

4:35 am

lilliann

so i'm quite happy it's a small grid today.

4:36 am

Andree

on the bright side, i have taken tomorrow off to play golf at a visitors day at golf club

4:36 am

dcseain

oh, enjoy, andree

4:36 am

Andree

i will dc

4:36 am

lilliann

hi haz and dc. the people doing it are suppose to be her friends!

4:37 am

dcseain

common that. My sister was rather like that when she was younger.

4:38 am

dcseain

she grew out of it, and we did what we could to monitor it and keep her in line.

4:38 am

lilliann

she's been hiding in the morning and was in tears this morning,but didn't tell me the whole story until last night,she was frightened of getting into trouble with her teachers if she said anything.

4:38 am

cool girl

i had the same thing with my 9 year old son and they videoed it thats have i found out cause i caught a child texting it cause they thought it was funny in the end i had 2 go to the board of governers 2 get it sorted

4:38 am

Andree

same thing happened to my grandaughter, she is 11 and it was about boys, grace is a tomboy and very sporty so gets on really well with the boys so the girls have been so bad, say she is taking boys from them!!!!! unbelievable

4:39 am

dcseain

happily, most of us grow out of such cruelty as we grow older.

4:39 am

lilliann

she also thought her friends would bully her more.i was in tears with her this morning,especially when she was telling the head teacher.

4:40 am

dcseain

i understand her being afraid of making it worse, though it won't be if the school is handling things properly.

4:40 am

lilliann

why are children so nasty/

4:40 am

Andree

poor kid, really makes life so difficult

4:41 am

Andree

must come from the parents lillian

4:41 am

lilliann

apparently the teachers have noticed a change in her and been asking her if everything is alright,but she's just beeb saying everythings fine so she doesn't get bullied anymore,but it hasn't worked like that.

4:42 am

Andree

that is what was most of the problem with my grandaughter, these parents that don't expect their kids to toe the line

4:42 am

Andree

and actually defend their bully tactics

4:43 am

mrpresident

lill, I had the same problem with my son... the school couldn't fix it... so you wanna know what I did?

4:43 am

Andree

it seems to me that the kids who have expectations at home of good behaviour are bullied

4:44 am

Andree

hi mrp, waht/

4:44 am

Andree

or what?

4:44 am

lilliann

it all happened when she accidentally hurt a friends arm,and now they're being horrible and ganging up on her and the childrens' parents have told them not to play with her and ignore her,but they're calling her names and following her around all the time.

4:44 am

lilliann

what mrp?

4:45 am

nanachichi

what did u do,,,we are having a simular problem here also

4:45 am

nanachichi

guessing u just did nothing!!!!

4:46 am

mrpresident

I went to 'reading groups' and 'maths help'... sat with the little sh*** who were beating up on my boy and very nicely and quietly said in their ear... 'if you ever touch my son again, you will have to deal with me!! and I am as mean as a cut snake when anyone touches my child... got it??.. I suggest very strongly you never even look at him again.'
The kids never even spoke to him again.
Sometimes bullies understand bully techniques

4:46 am

mrpresident

chichi, give me time to type... I have a broken arm

4:46 am

nanachichi

sorry mrp

4:47 am

nanachichi

well your answer sounds good, but isnt that harrassment to another child,,,

4:47 am

Andree

love it mrp, i can remember years ago whispering in a kids ear, if you touch my kid again i will bite your ear off, it worked

4:47 am

nanachichi

then there could be more trouble,,,

4:48 am

lilliann

i use to go into school but don't now,because if i did i was thinking the same.i was also thinking how i could get one of the boys on his own and say something to him.

4:48 am

mrpresident

no, it is a threat... and I have every intention of carrying it out. These bullies were really bad

4:48 am

Andree

the best thing about something like that is no one is going to believe you threatened to bite an ear off

4:48 am

nanachichi

i hear you,,,,,they are cruel out there today

4:49 am

mrpresident

three of them would gang up and hurt him so bad... I never directly told them 'what' I would do... their imagination was enough

4:49 am

Haz1558

Unless you're Mike Tyson (the bitten ear)

4:49 am

nanachichi

lol

4:49 am

Andree

lol haz

4:50 am

Haz1558

Sorry to lower the tone with the introduction of Mr Tyson.

4:50 am

lilliann

i wouldn't have minded but one of their mams is suppose to be a friend and went to the head teacher about my daughter instead of coming to me and sh'e been to my house and spoke to my hubby in the playground since and never said a word about it.

4:50 am

nanachichi

if only kids were able to be kids like years ago

4:51 am

mrpresident

absolutely andree... the bullies are scared little idiots with no common feelings for others. Give them something to 'feel' about and perhaps they will stop

4:51 am

lilliann

good on you mrp.but i'm also a governor of the school so couldn't really get away with it!

4:51 am

nanachichi

kids are not able to go outside and play at parks alone, sort their differences, and end it by themselves

4:52 am

nanachichi

so sad,,,

4:52 am

mrpresident

not these kids chichi... gangs at 7 is not uncommon

4:52 am

dcseain

g'day, all, i'm off to do shift turnover, then vacation, so i'll see yall next week upon my return. Cheers!

4:52 am

Andree

bye dc

4:53 am

mrpresident

bye dcs... have fun!! :D

4:53 am

Haz1558

Bye dc - have a good holiday.

4:53 am

lilliann

the head teacher says she's going to sort it out as she knows it's not my daughter's fault,and won't tolerate bullying,so i'll leave it to her and see what happens.for now!!

4:53 am

nanachichi

i know,,,i have a 6 yr old grand that is very very imature for her age, and we all did it to her,,,,

4:53 am

lilliann

bye dc.

4:53 am

dcseain

4:55 am

P.J.

hiya mrp.,lill,how is the grid today?

4:57 am

lilliann

i don't know about you mrp, but it changed my daughter's behaviour,as when she's at home she now shouts and screams at me whereas she used to be quiet.i'm not saying she's a little angel, because she can give as good as she gets but she does'nt deserve this!

4:58 am

lilliann

thanks nan.it'll get sorted out one way or another.i'll just get my hubby to bully the parents' and see how they like it!!!

4:58 am

lilliann

only kidding!

4:58 am

nanachichi

there u go lil

4:58 am

mrpresident

lill, behaviour changes constantly... especially with the first 3 years at school... temper, aggression, learning to get along.
some kids get is fast, others take time

4:59 am

mrpresident

the grid is evil hodag... finding it hard after 50 words

5:00 am

Andree

can i get help with the re5's please

5:00 am

nanachichi

the behavior is scarey,,,,this little one was the best child i ever saw,,,then all of a suddedn,,,she screams also, cut her own hair the first week of school, hides on us when she is doing wrong,,,i cant believe she is the same child

5:01 am

P.J.

it looks evil.......tys. Hi Andree

5:01 am

lilliann

they've all got worse these last few weeks since becoming juniors.i know children change and will push parents to the limits to see how far they can push the boundaries.

5:01 am

Andree

hi hodag

5:02 am

mrpresident

chichi, look at changing teachers. I had to be very careful with my son that he didn't get a teacher that yelled, cause he would just wet himself. Is always worth using reverse psychology to find out what is going on in their heads

5:02 am

lilliann

sorry to hear that nan.

5:02 am

nanachichi

so now we expect anything,,,

5:03 am

lilliann

apparently,her new teacher yells at everyone all the time.nice teaching!!

5:03 am

mrpresident

oh lill! not good! especially not for that age!

5:04 am

nanachichi

we had a 14 yr old grand stay with us for the summer,,,couldnt get along with her mom,,,who is divorced from my son,,,so we let her stay with us,,,thank the good Lord she went back to Mom on Sept 1,,,I couldnt take too much more of that teen life

5:05 am

nanachichi

we raised 4, and never ever would i tolerate how kids act today

5:05 am

lilliann

the teachers forget that the bairns were in the infants las term and everything has now changed and they are still young.they need support not being shouted at.plus they have different teachers and are confused.

5:06 am

lilliann

i must admit, i'm not looking forward to the teenage years!

5:06 am

NonoNanette

Morning Babblers!

5:07 am

mrpresident

hi nono :)

5:07 am

NonoNanette

yet another baby grid..... when do we get hit with a monster?

5:08 am

nanachichi

oh lil, i dont think this little one of ours has a bad teacher, or yeller,,,i think she just now realizes that she has a tongue,,,sees the other kids mouthing off, and she is becoming a follwer,,,we really sheltered her too much

5:08 am

lilliann

i live near a highschool and hear the language the kids come out with and then i hear all about there sex exploits and some of them are 11/12yr olds and then they're puffing away on there fags!
