Tamsin rammed her fist against the wall and immediately regretted it. The wall was made of bricks, her fist was not and she was fairly sure she’d broken a bone or two in the unequal contest between the two. But for all the Cocaine and PCP coursing through her system […]
Well, either we’re getting ever closer to the EU referendum or we’re getting ever closer to the End of Days, it’s certainly one of the two. By the 23rd of June we’ll be going to the polls to vote in probably the most hysterical, xenophobic and dishonest survey of public […]
