Bloody hell Mad! :shock: How many ex-girlfriends have you got? A Dutch one, the Christian one, the one you married (US I think), the one you took to that pub with the naughty name, to name just 4 off the top of my head. :lol:

Eddie Izzard did a TV programme called Mongrel Nation a few years back. He learned olde English and went to Friesland and bought a cow (which is what he intended to do) as the guy understood what he was saying near enough. Oh, Eddie is dyslexic.

Don't you take any flak off this lot Mad! You are single hun..... "collect" to your hearts content! :wink:

I can tell you.... its not a one way street.... it gets expensive having a boyfriend too! There's.... things to buy... stuff....

What do they call it?... A "fluid collection?" One that flows... one in, one out, ever refining or upgrading.... :wink:
