10th Jan – I hear the train a comin’ It’s rolling round the bend, And I ain’t seen the sunshine, since I don’t know when.
But how anyone, can have a favourite Spice Girl other than Sports, strikes me as absurd. It’s just plain wrong on every important metric: looks, talent, singing, dancing, niceness.
Dec 30th – Would you laugh at me, if I said I care for you? Could you feel the same way too? Cos I wanna know, what’s the name of the game.

20th Oct – Heaven, heaven is a place where nothing, nothing ever matters.
could God make a bowl of porridge that is too large for Her to eat?
8th October – Red and yellow and pink and green, Purple and orange and blue.
