This thread is a potential defamation claim unfolding before our eyes! @IslingtonBC your message below about getting in touch “with the team” (which team?) appears to confirm this book was stolen. Have you checked it wasn’t disposed of before implicating @BWBooks for selling?

Well this is what Four Candles means in the UK but doubt either of them would get the joke. #Meghan is not British and Harry is too thick & uninterested in any kind of popular culture.

Don’t be ridiculous. Our UK government fails to deport anyone even hardened violent criminals. No way would lovely Paddington be deported. Besides he has friends in high places.

I think it’s superlooper at Escape, Penang. On right in this photo -goes up at an angle before it goes down. If he ran out of momentum approaching the turn, he’d need shuffling forward far to clear top to get gravity assistance. Probably felt backwards had more chance of moving

I sound like a detestable human being because I think behaving with contempt to your partner is wrong? Perhaps a little self reflection is in order. I’m not the one who thinks jokes about Adolf Hitler are funny in 2023.
