You should try to learn from other people’s mistakes I tell my children. I am also a favourite of telling the aforementioned to learn from your own as well, and that’s where the trouble begins; I don’t do as I preach as often as I should, and oddly enough, neither do a lot of people, […]

I’m not sure if it’s the word, the connotations or just simply me being childish….pfnarrr. I enjoy looking at naked photographs of women across the decades, the […]
