Winston thought they may have miscalculated somewhat.
Aha…. it’s just a few ‘Rogues’ Key suggests are responsible…. he’s actually telling the truth, not even realizing he’s refering to himself.

Am unhappy about two posts today.
One the ‘in defense of………he who shall not be named by me until he at least apologises in person to the person he hideously injured, and even then maybe not’; and, two ,’broken’ because I don’t think the standard is broken (even if Chrstchurch is) for women with the likes of r0b, mickey savage, lprent,simon louission, ben clark, bill,

Indeed.
