funnily enough I thought of you when they tried pushing this narrative. I wonder why?

It was a wonderful evening, my first time seeing you since about 2001 (life gets in the way sometimes) but I promise not to leave it another 24 years til I see you again!

Superb work Chris, though dammit I cried at Henry's film. I've described my brain as like having a tornado whirling round me with me trying to pluck the tasks out of it when I can't see what they are, so TombolaMan was not dissimilar.
