Premium Member A Game of Snakes and Ladders
"A Game of Snakes and Ladders" It’s like a game, a game of Snakes and Ladders, some spend their lives climbing ladders up the corporate sticks sliding all the way back down on their sore sweet and sorry revelations soap boxes thrown and burnt like needles lost in hay we all become redundant at some point on some slippery soaped-up stage greeted by the Dickinson himself holding all...

Snakes And Ladders It’s raining out what shall we do? Let’s play a game just me and you, Turn off the tele I’ve found a game or two AAH snakes and ladders that will do, This is a game we haven’t played in a while Last time I played I was only a child, The boards setup which colour do you want...
