Things are so bad
Guardian Football Weekly is our most supportive friend. They
talk to us during our vasectomies and afterwards read a message
out on the show. We barely talk to our real friends.
We absolutely need a pet, like right now, before we can look after
ourselves.
Responsibility is good for us, maybe. There are apps
where people can borrow pets and love.
The future will definitely be like a film, not an apocalyptic one
necessarily. That may just be glimpsed from a window if we’re
lucky enough to be in the dome. Oh! In the dome I bet
things are so good
