  • ps: when was this made? and i grinned at ur placement of the annotations box... it reads Jam-own

    lol....(all the MJ references on every JB vid o.o)

  • to CherryTripping ~ 2005 ☼ ;-D

  • wow.. usually it sucks majorly when track name and track dont match up... but i think i could play this another 2thousand times (just like the other ten commenteers :P )

    loved it, ty :)

  • to CherryTripping ~ (missed this comment from last year)! Due to the humourless and UNAPPRECIATIVE..LOL.., I just got brought back to the post and so see it now. (Cheers for that).

    The record company caused the mismatch, no one likes that happening. I got no time for those people posting telling me to be a good doggie, and just quietly take the whole thing down, like nothing happened. That's weak.

    Glad you liked it, yw ☺ ;-j

see all

    The Pirate Party is a fine idea but in the current political climate, voting for them makes as much sense as organising a picnic on a sewage farm.

    There are bigger issues to address first.

    Europe should not regarded as a single nation. The EU as political union is a big mistake and th@ needs to rectified first.

    Interesting... I first noticed their existence only recently. They origin@ed in Sweden and have been setting up in other counties. They formed a UK Pirate Party this Summer.

    As they want to work within the EU Parliament I see them as little more than a distraction and diversion, especially of the youth vote. My vote will go to whoever will take the UK out of the totalitarian state th@ is the EU ; so I'll be voting for The United Kingdom Independent Party (UKIP).

  • one more reason to vote for the pirate party

  • Lol jibba jabba!
