do you want me to give you some advice on this thread Ed?

 

[luka]

nobody here knows why you have started this thread. i do, but no one else does. what you need to do is talk about your recent sexual communion with an open sewer/river-ditch and what you have learned from the process.

 

[luka]

put a bit of yourself into it. no ones knows who you are. we need more of your personality and interesting personal history to infuse the thread

 

[sufi]

yeah its a placeholder til i am ready to disclose 0h you already spilled all the proverbial beans i was mudlarking again

 

[luka]

you might inspire us to adopt our local river-ditch, those of us lucky enough to have one
mine is called the river Ravensbourne.

best river is the danube, i crossed it on a rickety wooden ferry once, before the danube had joined the EU
