For some reason the Governor preserved his head in spirit and it was sent to Sir J in England accompanied by a letter stating that he had been a fine fighter.<br /><br />A few seconds research from you would have avoided you sullying Sir J's reputation. I trust that you will now search out all those to whom you have spread these lies, and amend as necessary.

Why diss the poor in your spare time? <br />FFS. It just makes you look like an arsehole.<br /><br />Sorry Tom and Cro for wading in as a colonial, but criticizing the welfare class from a position of hereditary entitlement is something I still find hilarious.<br /><br /><br />sarah toahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412812914705725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-20350945702836184762015-07-13T00:49:29.301-07:002015-07-13T00:49:29.301-07:00... in a grim sort of way...... in a grim sort of way...Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-4643867163054447752015-07-13T00:48:48.648-07:002015-07-13T00:48:48.648-07:00It can be if you want it to be, Donna.

For instance, every time I receive an email addressed to T.S. saying that my bank account has been hacked into, I don't even have to think about ignoring it. I received one this morning about the bill for this server being unpaid and that I should renew my bank details to avoid being disconnected. They sent that to my real email account, but the account is in H.I.'s name, so once again I didn't have to do much checking up.<br /><br />Loads of you lot know who I really am, and most of you even have my exact address, thanks to eBay.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-84466587235220196982015-07-12T21:13:01.330-07:002015-07-12T21:13:01.330-07:00Sir Joseph's antics cannot be blamed on me.
