 It can be a cold and heartless world out there. Filled with degenerates stealing your bicycles and looting your coffers as you scrape and scrounge for that last morself of non-fat yoghurt in the midst of wide eyed and frantic hooligans. Here at Our Thursday we understand your plight and we want to help. . . . → Read More: Introducing the “Proving Grounds”  Prompt You are in a high speed train leaving Paris for Amsterdam.
