Jesus why do people feel the need to comment on the fact that this is early every day? There’d be uproar if it was posted at 10! Get a life lads!
I once told a lad I’d meet him at 9 but he showed up at 8. He wasn’t very happy but we’re still friends. It’s not the same though…
Why isn’t this called the 9 at 8 as it always seems to be published a lot closer to 8 than 9? !
U beat me to it :)
