Zoo thousand and HATE!

The Zoo Thousand Port Lymne festival sounds like the festival was awful, no-one really has a good word to say about it at work. At least two of the headliners did not play (but as the headliners were Athlete and Dizzee Rascal) that's not necessarily...

I bought a thing

This is what I bought at the boot fair yesterday, but was too traumatised to write about because of squished finger:It's a valet like this one, but a bit nicer I think. It looks older than it is and I've no idea what wood it's made out of, it's been ...

RE: That's exactly why!
