I read the odyssey years back, can you beat that Adiuvo?

Version of Odyssey

Yeah, actually. I read Johnathan Strange and Mr. Norrel by Susanna Clarke when I had insomnia one night and halfway into the morning. It was paperback, so that was 1,024 pages, with hardcover being about 800.

Are shemale's quite common where you live then?

I could find a shemale easy. But all of them look like shemales therefore it wouldn't be a mistake........And that's just not my cup of tea.

I know you guys will think I'm a freak, but IIRC the 9V battery tasted quite good. It's been like 13 years since I did it, so I'm not sure if I'm right.

EDIT: How many of you have booted Linux on your phone (only those which don't have a Linux based OS count)? You *never* forget the feeling you got when you first pinged localhost on your phone. :-D

For the people that called 999, did you do it meaning to call 911?

Nope I dialled it meaning to call 999. Then again that's because 999 is the emergency services over here.

It was actually a 2for1 as I was reporting number 34

Oddly that's not my only 2for1 on the list. 32 led to 1
