Do the same people who go to the shit goth nights go to these hellish get-togethers?
Refusing to mourn the middle class childhood I never had and at such a late age finding out how others are able to visualise, now realising Whizzer & Chips was about my level. So stick yer children's books up yer arse!
Bilston's true identity revealed - "Why did Morrissey write this poem?"

When your siblings try to grieve with you about your recently deceased mother. "Your memories?" - "I know facts about my times with her but I can't bring them into my thoughts like you can. It's like when I try to imagine a purple dinosaur juggling on top of a bouncy ball!" #SDAM
