Sorry, but I think you are a total poofter. From York. Even if you are into soccar.
“if you go hunting mammoths with that there bone-tipped toothpick spear, it won’t cost you a pint every several months.”
Nah, man, you hunt mammoths by starting a grass fire that drives them over a cliff. Everybody knows that. What, do you live in a cave or something?
