The plot thickens (or rather, it doesn’t and I just realise a couple of things which I actually realised a while ago but ignored at the time)

Posted on 26 April, 2010 by nuttycow

So… it turns out that ugly minger shag is actually ugly minger girlfriend. And, annoyingly, isn’t that ugly at all. She is, in fact, incredibly slim and good looking. But she does have a rather prominent nose (which makes me feel better). … Continue reading →
