Who was the best Bond?
(Preview)

Language Funnies

Decent music (some of the time) but clearly nobody speaks a word of Spanish, so when they try to pronounce Spanish words or names, it can be quite hilarious. There is a advert now being regularl...

It seems so strange to be crying tears of sadness because of her today; her tears are always joyously, helplessly, rapturously overflowing floods of happiness. A supern...
