Yeah but my grandmother was 104 when she died. She married my grandfather when she was in her twenties and I really don't think she was really all that bothered about him it was just the done thing back then.

Even if he could overrule health and safety laws there's absolutely no reason for him to do that. Increasing trade with the European Union just makes the likes of Reform look weaker while at the same time not giving the general public yet another reason to dislike him.

I was going to say I can't remember the last time I intentionally went in one of their stores. It has always been bad value for money.

In this case though the arms dealers make the arms for free so I'm kind of okay with it

I know there was that story about Google knowing about some guy's daughter being pregnant before she'd actually told him.

So maybe I'm just really Arabic and haven't noticed yet.
