Germany would be more fun once they’ve taken over the world. Five pints down last night and no chunder, what of it?

Who eats while watching porn?!

Either he was constipated, asthmatic. or Darth Vader was blowing up balloons in there.

You know its been a long day when you’ve had three shits at Uni. 3STW +SSKPI 'LVSQI GSYPH RSX ¿RH [[[ WY RSXXMRKLEQ EG YO

To the person who set my laptop up to start playing an Islamic call to prayer when I switched it on, fair play, Sir.

Andrew Marr makes me hot. I’d seen six willies by the time I was seven. It was called the willy show. We used to all go to the playground and all the boys would show us their willies.

You look like a cunt. I think we could be mates.

AND TO CAP THE YEAR OFF: “[Name censored], hope you are extremely hungover tomorrow. You broke into our house by jumping over our garden wall and opening the back door, took your clothes and shoes off and got into a bed while my housemates were at A + E. You refused to leave when you were found and had to be dragged out. Your wallet, trousers and shoes are with Nottingham police. Thanks for the wake up call.”
