There is no further life without BOJO the oligarch! The only growth industry left over running a food bank in the UK is as a GB News presenter; Nadine's destiny has been decided.

Oh no, my favorite stand up comedian is going away. Now I am confronted with a hole of enormous boredom. Well, I will open a bottle of Gin quick. That will help.
