Sorry if I confused you.<br />One can feel a bit giddy walking through these massive concourses but, sadly, sex dolls are not generally provided to break the fall. Shame, really.bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-47930296890139554422011-12-13T01:12:58.842+00:002011-12-13T01:12:58.842+00:00Hey bazza, it's kezza.

I'm here to astonish you with my bountiful wisdom and stuff.<br /><br />That first painting of the King's Cross Station certainly shows a lot of attention to detail to how people appeared in that era and what their actions were like at that station. I admired the shadows and colors infused in the painting, too.<br /><br />The Inverness in Scotland has a few mind-bending geometric designs to it, doesn't it? Now if I go there, look up at that and I'm drunk or something- and I get all dazed and confused- and start to fall backward, I'll expect you to be there to throw a sex doll beneath me to break my fall. I already have a name picked out for my plastic lady friend, too.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605551857342134163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-73775917155740421732011-11-26T19:15:17.116+00:002011-11-26T19:15:17.116+00:00Hello Joanne.

I was surprised to learn that there is a nature reserve in King's Cross. I just checked it out on the Web; it's a 'natural park', all wild and beautiful.<br /><br />Sir Gary: Hello old chap!

She worked at the Camley Street nature reserve just behind the station.<br /><br />My uncle also worked in the area...but not as a pimp. He told me he had seen some really nasty fights in the pubs in Kings Cross.<br /><br />I was in the area on the night of the terrible Kings Cross Fire in 1987. I was attending a London University music class in Tavistock Square. We had no idea what was unfolding not far away and I remember the music students chuckling when the sirens of the fire engines repeatedly interrupted the Monteverdi pieces that we were studying at the time.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9065667386668307918.post-10998480328256437042011-11-23T22:16:02.041+00:002011-11-23T22:16:02.041+00:00The sensational Sir Tom Eagerly says:
