PeteyMcP @peter-mcpherson.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Unfortunately you and your new orange hairdo are just too much. We really did love you but you have been seeing that guy who likes to take his shirt off and go fishing. He's not nice and I am afraid he has been mean to my friends. So I am going to block your number. And I think it's not just me. Bye 000
