My hippy neighbours who had their weekly afternoon jam session with acoustic guitars, my Vietnamese neighbours and their god awful Thursday afternoon karaoke and then it was my turn.

    Font - CoderJoel 14 hr. ago Bored of cutting scrap? Just record yourself doing it and play it back several times a day, loudly. You can be lazy and petty at the same time. 710 Reply Share

    Font - MongooseDog001. 12 hr. ago For someone who's trying to sleep during the day he sure is up and about. That's probably his problem.
