I don't think it's the fact we don't believe, which I think we do. It's the fact it's a rubbish claim to fame haha

It is literally like saying 'my house is the biggest between the two biggest near us out of the 12 in my street'.

Being the biggest perhaps isn't such a claim, as London is the capital. But Liverpool is the next biggest and isn't, and also housed the Beatles which is a bonus. That's more like a good claim based on size.

You get me? :curtain: < never seen that smilie before.

Edit:

Just to add, if you're 90 and over in Sunderland you're laughing when it comes to women, 4 women to each man! Crap if you're in your thirties though as I'm afraid you only get one each.

Which one's don't you know Dan? Oh and moors murders, not good that one.

 

[Dan]

Brian Cox, and the guy from the wombles, but I know the wombles.

Didn't know the guys name from the test tube baby thing but I guess I wouldn't. Didn't know the first test tube baby was from there either, but I get the gist.

So just brian cox really.

 

[diamondtiling]

I didn't say a name! lol

I just meant he's ours! haha

Saw the quote from Liz saying Reg Mitchell and jumped in too fast, I will be in the corner wearing the large cone shaped hat with a D on it.
