This hairy lad has shaved his hands and now looks like a chubby Biffo.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Bertie the cat just had his first shite in four and a bit days.

When I was younger I used to listen to techno, mainly. Nowadays though, my favourite genre is anti-woke Americans who've moved to Russia, trying to mask their immense regret in interviews.

If the buyer is reading this, I've got a Casio digital watch worn by George Carew when he went down with the Mary Rose and it still works! My gran told me it was given to him by Henry VIII during a Secret Santa thing at the Admiralty in 1539.
It's got a calculator on it too and I'll accept £500 ONO.
Stop trying to make felch happen.
I've accidentally read the latest RFK news, gang.
