Noooo!

It's a pretty awful earworm, I'll admit. But you can't put me on ignore - I gave you a happy ending and a hot chick!

Hmm, I could give you a better earworm? Queen?

I know, but when you get home, the curiosity of what I done linked to will get the better of you.

You appear to have galloping AOR-itis. I suggest listening to fey late-eighties indie until the threat recedes.

The "You what" was directed at Priene. I've no idea what he meant. Luckily for you, my mouse handling skills are quick enough that I managed to close the Astley tab before I got any whiff of his 'singing'.

I figured - and did you? Lucky escape. This time. I shall stalk you and hound you and...

No, I won't. I'm not sure what would have played in an 80's wine bar. Going in one would have meant I was a class traitor. I could have been on that slippery slope: hankering after pine kitchens, sleeping on futons, eating tappas! Who knows where it could have lead? I could have started having "relationships" with people instead of going out with them. Got married, got on the property ladder. God Almighty, who knows where it could have ended? Next thing you know, I'm playing squash every Tuesday night with a bloke called Gerald!

Hey , my name is Gerald. And I play squash on a Tuesday.




Actually, I'm not and I don't, but for argument's purpose I am and I do.
