First three won’t necessary cost anything

Doing anything other than boning or vegging on the sofa with your partner will cost you money.

Dating very much will cost you money (not that it isn’t worth it if you have it).

Also I can’t imagine what sort of hobby costs very little money.

Yea you’re going nowhere after a pound of morphine, I tell you hwhat.

His pad was stollen, baked into a traditional German Christmas cake.

Mini roll. Appropriate.

There are signs where I live that warn about the aggressive seagulls.

Actually use Home and End keys to get to the start and end of text.

Ctrl + F for searching text. Very useful.
