‘So how's Joyce?’
‘No idea, I didn’t ask.’
‘Tom, sometimes I wonder if men are another species.’

Together as a family we can make this spaghetti bolognaise for grandma.
We cant mam.

You didn't buy any pasta mam.

Together we stand
Divided we fall
We are the naturists against extinction
Marching determined on the Town Hall
It was so cold
Rain was unpitiful
Me and little placard last one standing
Nakedly determined despite any ridicule
