Long Life to Everyone! by JimJ
Well, yesterday was my 76th birthday (I can't believe how quickly those years have passed!) so I've now comfortably exceeded the average male Bulgarian's life expectancy of 71.9 years. Now I have to pass the same milestone for female Bulgarians, ...

@mickgIt will probably get worse before it gets better, make sure your sheets are clean. Remember you are only around 200km from the current, first stage, of the war. Read More
