Ta kindly. I enjoyed that
"...then the Man-Corr comes in and SPOILS IT!"

I may have to find a way to use that phrase more often in conversation.

I liked "she's going out with Robbie Williams isn't she?"
"NO SHE'S NOT SHE LOVES ME!"

My great uncle had a guardhouse at the entrance to his house
for fear of assassination.

He was a politician though.


EDIT just searched for him on Wiki. He was a really GOOD politician. He was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in Ireland, then was appointed a Judge of the European Court of Justice. Fuck.

my sister went through a phase of wearing denim jackets with jeans
I mocked her.

She put C'est La Vie on repeat in her room. ON REPEAT. *sobs*
