Enjoy the final I hope it makes you happy. Dear lord, what a sad little life USA. You ruined my night completely so you could have the cup & I hope now you can spend it on lessons in grace and decorum. Because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on.

@CorrinePriest Some people have such fragile egos. A boy had a go at me because (in April) I walked into the road briefly so I could keep a 2m distance from him and his mate. Luckily his mate was sensible and pulled him away. I’m so sorry you had this horrible and terrifying experience ❤️

@CJGpot You need £130k in cash for this property, it’s too small to be mortgageable. So probably not one for your average first time buyer. But sure, I am not casting aspersions on studio flats in general.
