Right, I tell you what! I’m seething with anger. My mate is getting married, and he’s only asked his brother to be his best man. What the hell is that? What about all those nights we spent together running through fields of wheat, Kevin? Does that not mean anything any more?! Wait, what’s this? Cozm […]
