DC 505 Sandy Bottoms


This week, dull and not feeling great, no sleep, wanting the summer. Glitter Tweet a fake, a social exercise apparently. New Zealand Girl sells space on bottom for tattoo, and makes reserve! More thoughts on IPTV and Netflix/Lovefilm. Beach Volleyball the most popular sport for UK politians for Olympics, but no sand on the Thames, and Porn industry fined for not supplying staff with condoms. Protective equipment is a must, and new ride a little too dangerous when test dummies return with no limbs!

File Sharing now a religion, CD Sales down, download sales up, more people getting music legally now, and Bono’s busking days are over. Draw for prizes drawn, and the winners are enclosed.
