    Hoping you meant "...not quite as much..."
    Otherwise :shock:

    Whoops - well spotted. While she does have one of the most comfortable saddles I've ever come across, I did most certainly mean not quiet as much.

    Not sure the BBC should have got away with picturing the 'victim' though. It wouldn't happen in any other case of sexual abuse.

    Well that's just odd.

    However, why is this a prosecutable offense? The guy was locked in his room, on his own. He could try and mate with the tv for all I care if it's in private. Unless it's a mates bike of course: that's a type of lube you don't want on your chain.

    Weird, that. You're allowed to do all sorts of things to your own body, or to the body of another consenting adult, but the moment you try to do anything to an inanimate object in the privacy of your own locked room without harming another soul... well you're a sicko. Sex offenders' register for that seems insane.
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

    Yes, very old. We are very familiar with it as it was around the time of colleague doing LE - JOG, we are convinced it's him.

    He was innocent. He'd been framed.
