If there's a slight delay between posts, it's because I'm keeping 1 eye on SA's attempt to lose the unlosable.

I know right.

If there was a team you'd put your house on to lose this, it would be SA.

Hope they prove me wrong.


Oh, also, happy game day. Bitches.

[Ocha905]

That blitz of goals could well prove the difference in the wet. Still, let's fight it out Bears!

Love this meta interpretation.

Sadly I feel philreich is the type to get distracted by the most minor interests.

My wife just committed the unforgiveable crime of talking to me for a few minutes - sorry for the delay .

The sad react is because this response suggests that my theory /wishful thinking is off the mark

Glad you could chat though
