    The drawbacks of been a sparks!

    Have we finally lost ALL sense of dignity? There was a time when having a cuppa and discussing issues with people that can help was good enough, if not we went looking for someone that can help. Nowadays, to make our point, we just simply ---- Human excrement around...
