I’m actually speechless.

- Replying to @WelshDalaiLamaSHE WOULD OF HATED THE OUTDOORS HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST YOU’D EXERCISE THIS DOG PLEASE NEVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN IM BLOCKING YOU
- I’m literally the only person on this @megabus with a mask on. I’m stuck in a sealed box with loads of unmasked people. The scrap of the mask rule is one of the stupidest things that could have been done at this point.
- Replying to @OwsWills‘Angel tells me she doesn’t like you and you sound smelly’
- Hands down the best joke I’ve ever told: You grew up in Carmarthenshire? No, Pembrokeshire. Close, but no Sir Gâr. Athankyou.
- I wanted to doodle and accidentally created an abomination and I whole-heartedly apologise. I present to you Matisse’s Blue Nude but it’s Mr Blobby.
- Cardiff was an affordable city, it no longer is. House prices and rent have skyrocketed. Houses in Tremorfa and Splott, which would have been £160-180k at the end of 2019, are now £220-250k. A 1 bed flat is £800-900 in rent a month - in Cardiff?! But wages haven’t increased…

- So this went a bit mad - just because this seems to be a reoccurring theme: 1) I read the description of the dog very well. No where did it say she doesn’t like exercise or needed limited walks. 2) I wouldn’t apply for a dog that I wouldn’t be able to offer the right home to.I applied for a dog today. This is the story in four parts. I’m actually speechless.
- Can news networks *please* stop pumping out vox pops of people saying they don’t trust the vaccine or they won’t get it because they are scared of needles? EXPERTS. INTERVIEW EXPERTS. Excuse me whilst I go scream into a void.
- Replying to @harry_blighShe would have hated it. She would have grown distant. She would have developed a wondering eye. You will never fulfil her.
- Social distancing sewing: I call this ‘I wanted a dress but it was £699 so I bought a £20 dress, took it apart and made the dress I wanted’.
- A medium sized mixed breed. Renowned for preceding playing on PlayStation than getting outside.
