    A belated introduction

    I never did make a post here. So... hi. Well, my girlfriend told me earlier that I'm clueless and patronising. God knows what she's on about. She must be on the blob. Anyway, I didn't want an argument or anything, so I patted her on the head and told her the ironing would cheer her up.
