I wonder how many books Milo sold today? Probably less than us (37). That may be because Milo is a huge unbearable cunt.

I cannot thank you enough for the (literally) life changing response to this. I am a bit of a wreck right now. I love you lot so much.

Hello. Firstly, can I apologise about the following tweets. I have reached a point where I don’t quite know what else to do. I am tweeting on behalf of me (Simon), not Big Green Books.
