I don’t care what u think, I flipping ❤️ Pizza Hut, and am glad they’re still a thing. Salad bar, bacon bits, 1000 Island dressing. Each visit is like a hot tub time machine back to 1987 and those first steps into the adult world. Eating out. Tipping. SALAD BY CHOICE. Snogging.

Of the ten biggest selling singles of the last decade, it turns out I’ve only heard three. And two of those I really don’t like. Oh man... am I turning into an old fart? Or is it just that 90% of pop music is now completely horrible and unengaging. It’s the former, right? #fart

Just moved house in the midst of all this THIS. Single handedly. Into a nice but initially very smelly house. Spent last week scrubbing, painting and ‘shampooing’ the new gaff in preparation for pleasant habitation. Pretty much avoided social media, email, rolling news etc.

Are we still calling him Tommy Robinson? Can we not just use his real name now? I think it’d change the angle of the argument if we did. And can we stop giving this earthworm a platform for his rhetoric? Please? BBC? Fucks sake. A self aggrandising waste of skin and hair.
