Beans are bobs, so bean stew

Posted on Sun, 09 Feb 2025

Beans are bobs, so bean stew is bits and bobs, I guess :0) Being vegan bean stew is pretty much it for me. Am interested why a Korean food shop? Did you know (being vegan and eating lots of bobs, I do) that sea weed is supposed to help with...

You describe searching in the industrial estate really well! Perhaps Spencer could busk for money? Oh! Could breakdancing or something be one of his updates? Nordic walkers is a brilliant idea - just when he thought he was getting to grips with...
