Don't think me unkind
Words are hard to find
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind

NEEDTOKNOW WILL YOU *STOP* being so free with the points!!!

I assume you're in some happy post-Christmas haze. Too much egg-nog, I'm guessing. I'm actually worried about the bump you're gonna get when you hit the ground
Points which have been given can easily be taken away, you neneedtoknow (see what I did there!)

No eggnog today ElfShelf only wine and Bailey's, but once you've seen the Matrix, you can't unsee it. Points for all and all for points. we no longer bow down to your monopoly of points tyranny... (Nooooo i just spilt a whole glass of Baileys -hope that's not karma)

Thank you for all the birthday wishes 🥳

It’s illegal to spill Baileys! It’ll stink unless you lick it up.

Honeyroar · 26/12/2020 20:40

Hope you’ve got a glass in your hand Stevey.🥂🍻

When's I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away

Sometime when you're feelin' like a poor relation
Call on me and I'll give you more than conversation
Take an' shake it, hey it's a deal
And woh big brother I'll make you heal
