AMT351: Stoned Dads, Dragons, and Getting Verified on Twitter
Answer us this: how would you define 'Afternoon Delight'? 1. Settling down to watch Countdown with a nice cup of tea (not Lipton) and a nice biscuit (not one that gives you a 20-year-long health fear)? 2. Bit of post-lunch pre-dinner nookie? 3.
