TEINR

Tastiest
Eating
Is
Naturally
Rabbits

oops, did I stray from the other thread? Perhaps the end is nigh for me, and I should repent.

I think SparkOut was asking if TEINR was "The End Is Nigh: Repent"?

My best guess so far has been "The Engine Is Not Responding"...

Gosh, never heard of that one! But then I've never been any good at that repenting malarkey! :lol: Do it and sod 'em, that's what I say... :lol:

Anyway, it was obviously just a trick one because I've just realised there's a typo in it. :lol: Sorry! Should have read
TEITR

and in this case it think it applies to the fact you lot are not mentioning the fact that some stupid woman can't see properly. :(
