If you will not do it, I will run my truck over your head for the rest of the day.&#8221; :)\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyway, what can be better then a couple of Warsteiner pints in Chesters after an excellent film? :)<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>Planned trip to Ladas fish tavern with Olga to celebrate the day.
