By agreement, and by punishment, my reporter has agreed to me posting this: Number 10 reflects the decadence of a by-gone era .
Quoth she when asked about this: ''Throw me a frigging bone here about what'swrong here. I thank her for taking this in good grace
.Methinks she'll use the dictionary next time.
