Older and yet still better looking than you. Amazing isn't it? rollmickeyover New

Is calling a guy a Dick on a public forum very PC? (Politically Correct to you and me!) VincentShay New

Look, Mike Designed some boats.  Cool.  But he's being a dick.  He's making unsubstantiated claims about others.   geoffcj New
