You liar, blanik. We all know you're a sinful, bootlegging scoundrel, with a hunchback and cross-eyes and a whole zoo of nasty skin diseases, who lurks outside school gates just waiting for any opportunity to corrupt our innocent yoof with your evil home-brewed potions.blanikdog wrote:I can't open it either, and I'm a really nice, honest, compassionate, fair dinkum, true blue aussie.![]()
