As you can see, I've decided I shall no longer remain anonymous.<BR/><BR/>In any case, I don't think Lottie would be able to tell you who I am. I didn't get a chance to talk to her, as she was very busy making fish frys. Or is it fish fries?<BR/><BR/>Ronnie might remember me, though. When he brought my Genny to me, he asked if I wanted a glass. I told him no thank you, I could just drink it from the bottle. To which he replied something to the effect of, "You like to drink it from the nipple, eh? That's okay, so do I."Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02751199281129958833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5011528072573771541.post-83626904662828434542009-04-07T21:14:00.000-04:002009-04-07T21:14:00.000-04:00Ah, but are we the "Du" form?
