Yes. I do fancy a crack at that. Thank you, a. I’m in the US all next week, so it might be nice to come back and appreciate something really fùcking old, if you know what I mean.

Lovely stuff.

human emotion over the rape of a girlfriend, admitted his shame now at his feelings then and expected his words to be interpreted in a nuanced, intelligent and adult way.

Foolish.
