No Exeter date *sniff* It's alright, I wouldn't want to come here either, it's like Toytown but without the "are they, aren't they" love intrigue of Noddy and Big Ears.
my bad... just read your profile properly. kudos for the veganism.
i'm sooo glad Amanda Palmer brought you to my attention. I was plotting revenge on my flat mate who woke me up at stupid o'clock this morning, then i watched some of your videos that stopped me from feeling so angry :) anyhoo i just heard her leave so it's time to sleep some more. have a nice day xx
