  1. To be crass, I hope this group (or these groups depending on how you look at it) is more promising than the group who stunk up at the WC recently in Brazil. They were pretty pitiful.

  2. LOL. I come here evry 4 or 5 weeks and if something is more terrible than GB nd Wicky it’ your tedious, obvious, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive. simplistic posts. Thsi si not a shot. Go look online. Over a decade of studies of people who do what u do on the net….day after day Look at the personality profile, and emotional state of those who do what u do. Then u can lash out with some witty remark deny that is u because u r “special” and “different”, which u r not, and keep heading down the abyss. BEst of luck to u….but I am not confident.
