Re: Links to funny, cool or interesting stuff

... the problem with our forum is that most of the regular and excellent contributors have passed to the great forum in the sky. Search for Hollowhorn and you'll find a vast amount of information that would allow you to engage for weeks. I want to chat with somebody who will respond, not just to re...

Re: Nuclear war in Glasgow

My girlfriend, born and bred in Glasgow, hasn't heard of Greenham Common and I, who lived in a People's Republic, have.

Re: INTRODUCE YOURSELF
