pictures?!!! This article should be summarily executed for having no pictures.... I'm sad now.

[dfwgator]

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

[Kaylee Frye]

Oh and did I mention that in the pictures he should demonstrate what he was not doing and take his shirt off? ;)

This isn't the first time such things have happened in the UK.

Pete Best was a drummer for the Beatles, and "there has also always been the assumption that the other Beatles were jealous of Best's appeal with the female fans, since he was more conventionally handsome than the other members, a problem that certainly wouldn't exist with Ringo in his place."

But I just soldier on.

"Holy Cross School"? Catholic private girls school, perchance? Yep, those horny girls can get a guy into real trouble.

I just learned to ignore them. It takes some time as the women tend to get very loud and bold. But, after a while, you just learn to tune them out.

That's my story and I'm stickin to it ;)
