Oh The Pain, The Pain in Yambol

Oh The Pain, Yambol,

I don't think there has ever been a time where some folk in an apartment block are modernising their apartment or repairing something. So, the old material always ends up leaning against the block wall waiting for it to be salvaged by passers-by. On this occasion it is glass windows, Oh the pain, the pain was what came to mind seeing these here. This, of course, is from Dr. Smith for the American series Lost in Space.
