I really don't care if you did pottery at school, your cupboards are full or your wife/husband will divorce you if you buy another mug.
I spent an hour or so troubleshooting my router the other day before realising that the input to the TV had somehow been set to analog. 🤦♀️

Episode 255 - Quantock trees in late October air (63 mins *sleep safe*)

Or army medic. Completely bogus and probably AI pics. That's my theory about why they all look so similar, anyway. Romance scammers who think we were born yesterday, the lot of them.
