I think this is fantastic. I wish we cud have residents and a organisation like this where i live. Its the way forward and everyone of us need to take responsibility for our neighnourhoods. The Council dont always know what we want, we know what we want. Power to the people and respect to Balsall Heath.

SALMA YAQOOB HAS GOT A FUCKING MASSIVE NOSE

[mrsuperbootyboots]

@HumanSayNo i'm afraid not, i'm talking about sexy pay for play. indeed, not only did i visit pauline at no 49 court road, i also regularly visited a mature rough jamacian woman called jean who worked on cheddar road. she was a thick ignorant primitive black woman who always dressed in a basque and sexy black stockings. for 20 quid she gave head, demanded that i "kiss old pinky" (her pussy), then she would fuck me senseless. i didn't go there for fast food, i went there for uncomplicated sex.

[HumanSayNo]

@mrsuperbootyboots - Fast food outlet! Are we talking about the same thing here?

[mrsuperbootyboots]

@HumanSayNo don't know, what was big john's?

[HumanSayNo]

@mrsuperbootyboots - They had a Big John's back in the 80's??

[mrsuperbootyboots]

@HumanSayNo it sure does, and i regularly went there for super bjs in the 80's and early 90's. mmmmm sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
