Yeah, man. The cats bowl is cleaned for every meal. I wouldn’t eat off of yesterday’s food remnants so why should she?

Correct! I wondered if anyone would get the reference.

Australia. Escapology is an amazing album. It’s definitely in my desert island top 10.

Seconded. All you need is a knife, a block of wood and a box of Band-Aids (sticking plasters, or whatever your colloquial term is for small wound dressings).

I’m not afraid to cry. I tell my friends that I love them. I have two teenage sons that I kiss goodnight, every single day. I am a disability support worker. I do regular mental health checks on family and friends because I know what it is to be depressed, and how one person caring can be the difference between living and dying. I hug… A lot. I am 49 years old and I am male…

… Therefore, I must be gay. Please don’t tell my wife.

The moment that I let go of it was the moment I got more than I could handle. The moment I jumped off of it was the moment that I touched down.
