Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life Volume 37
Discussion
Hello everybooby,
It's been one long hard day of Robbopopping, but I have just arrived back home, poured myself a nice pint of OSH, and I am now slumped on the sofa just in time for the TTFNPequiz.
Yay!
Let's hope I don't nod off, fall off, go off or blow off during the next gripping hour and a bit!
I have been through the sheepdip*, and I am fully cleansed and purified in readiness for the challenge.
* Through it, not on it.

Rest assured that not all of PH is infested with self-opinionated vitriolic point-scoring dheads who like nothing better than stirring up a nest of hornets with their nasty trolling posts on the likes of NP&E etc.
I ignore all that st and just chill here at Trivial Towers, where the company is amiable and welcoming even if things get a bit surreal at times.
Just calm yourself, chill out aand have a drop of this fine Absinthe...
There, you feel a little better already, don't you?
