Reasons to Get Married – No 1
a 60 year old Kerry man found guilty of driving with too much drink in him faces a 3 -year driving ban

Dildoes Gu Leòr

many folk are wondering how they got there

Symphysiotomy : Fucken Religion
I’ve been two days trying to write this post but have been too upset/angry to marshall my thoughts into a coherent pattern
that doctors, in this day and age, are sawing women in two rather than perform a Caesarian because the former will potentially allow them to have more children in future (in line with the Catholic church goals for families) than will the latter – though tell that to ‘Lily’, who has been unable to have sex with her husband since her pelvis was sawn in two – leaves me speechless with rage
