Insomniac distraction appreciator - lurking enthusiastically. Will blabber about games, film, music and Watford FC, otherwise will passively enjoy others' blabber on myriad specialist subjects. Stay weird, be kind, allow bedtime

Think I prefer this year's kit - never understood the white shorts (my mum bought me the full kit and I'm sure they're still kicking about nearly unworn somewhere in the shed)

Not mine but i was dogsitting last weekend and Danny decided to roll off the sofa and snare himself in a fetching totebag - requiring me to do his hated paw-touching to angle his leg to get him out

It took me looking admirably at the promo bookmark to realise why I recognised your name - congratulations! While I recommend Warfare, your film is the only one I'd watch again any time soon

With all these apps I can apply for work, learn about new topics and have all my tasks backed by ambient music/ discussion! I'm sure this is a productive use of time and not a phone addiction

Agreed - Pro Evolution Soccer 6 was made all the better for the ability to make a squad of penguin or Ostrich/ Velociraptor rider players.
