Dead lucky to have you as a customer every week, tucking into her apple dumplings

"Vinegar Tits" Vera is still there, as well - keep away from her frosted cupcakes, though. Not nice

I'll take your word for it.
I actually spend most of my time with Eggy Edith but sometimes her farts are unbearable. Some disgusting fanny farts come out of her - but you already now that don't you homer.

I could write a Java Class to generate two random lists each 40 long, one containing the number chosen by a TBer and one corresponding to the number of the horse.

Then just take top of each list and that is the pairing and so on down the list.

I would even publish the code so there is no cheating. ;-) :mrgreen:
