[qrpcat] OT - Ets un malalt de la ràdio?

dic maig 11 18:32:51 CEST 2016

La 24, la 25 i la 29 son molt bones.

Em sembla que tots podem arribar a ser "malalts de la radio".

Encara que sigui de broma, mes de 5 punts d'aquest cuestionari hem pensat,
hem dit i hem rigut.

Som uns malalts, pero per aquesta malaltia no prenem ibuprofeno o similar.

Salut a tots
