Cool Runnings rocked. "I'm freezing my royal Rastafarian na-nas off!"

I thought everyone knew that. By the way we're part of Europe now, so in the last Olympics we won!!!

Original products hold little value here... just ask those people that buy DVDs at Carrefour :-) Twice as much and the same quality. Perhaps they don't wake up in the middle of the night fret with the fact that they're pirating... oh wait, neither do I! :-) Hahaha… just go to the market and buy one for a 1/4 of the price and just as good quality.

I was interested in one of the caps, and I asked the salesgirl to bring it to me as there's a wire keeping shoppers getting in to pick up anything by themselves which annoyed me a lot plus her ignorant atittude busy counting her checks AND there's no mirror there. I just walked off.
