Sad people jumping on bandwagon, the amount of marks in this country is unreal. Pure marks
@qffaffaf affrafrfraf: ??? Zero idea what you’re raving about there, to stay on point, looking forward to reading Sally’s latest offering. By all accounts it’s been worth waiting for/ we’ll see. Personally, Normal People will always be a very difficult act to follow
@qffaffaf affrafrfraf: Bookmarks?
@Brian O’Brendan: has kevvy morphed once again????
@Buster Lawless: I think he is on the hunt. But I have Slevin running around in circles and he’s saying he’s going to sue me.
@William Slevin: You called me honey badger for 2 days straight. The worst insult anyone could give anyone. And I agreed with all your posts. Get off the boardwalk and get into detox.
@William Slevin: do you know that most comments are forgotten the following day ? I even forget my own a few hours later.
Take it easy, life’s too short.
@Brian O’Brendan: leave William alone you clown.
@Buster Lawless: you are so boring and predictable.
@qffaffaf affrafrfraf: Explain??
@William Slevin: Nobody is afraid of you.
@offside again: morning kevvy & the factor 50′s
The only silver lining in Normal People, which is the worst book I’ve ever read, is that it meant that I wouldn’t have to read any of the other drivel she might churn out in future.
@Jipangu: Yeah, however, sadly, plenty of sheep will be queuing in the pen for the herder to release the lock so the can bleet and buy this drivel. She’s the perfect poster child for what passes as art today.
have your say
