Tales Of The Gurrier

Hello internet.
Not much happening here lately due to intense work and possibly mild exhaustion related delirium. The end to my internet connection woes came at last and I am once again the proud owner of a eye blistering 2mbps broadband connection. After three weeks of nothing but complete arseballs from NTL I will be receiving [...]

So The Brother has a thing for the man products. Yes I know I have a thing for them too but mine is the opposite of his. I believe their existence heralds the imminent arrival of the Apocalypse and the coming of The End of Days, when Satan will rise again from the stygian depths [...]
