Ahhh, happy memoeries of one dead hot summer circa 85 when the whole friggin close i lived on went cb crazy. We had about 3 rigs going on! My name was 'The Incredible Sulk' lol, and my sisters was Kerrygold Butter. We drove our mum crazy going on about getting one each to put in our bedrooms, we reasoned that we could chat to each other without having to get out of bed. We never got one i might add, tight bitch.
I even went out with this eejit called Lee who stank of dog shit at all times (he was really scruffy) and always had his tea round his gob, just cos he had one and i could go on it more.
