Born Hunter 17,798 Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 When I still lived with my folks I was rushing like a twat one morning to go ferreting, loading the van up and typically in a sleep deprived bad mood.......... Could I find my keys? Could I feck! I turned the van out....... the house....... rushing about accusing somebody of 'tidying up shit that isn't theirs!", shouting at anybody that dare question me.......... then my mum found them on top of my van! I'd put them there while loading it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
