It’s 14.38. I had a reasonably late night and some pints last night but nothing too excessive. I also had several E&C chicken wings. Several.

Two totally unrelated points

1. Am I the only one who thinks Borat is unfunny and that Bruno is more of the same lazy cheap shots at people?
2. Why have a Facebook pic with you and a mate instead of just you? We can’t tell which one you are when we search your name to make sure you’re not [...]
