Quick Jolly – I Have No Gas

A few months before buying my new home and while being inundated with various property and land reports from my solicitor, I had a strange nightmare in which after I moved in, I found a stairway off one of the rooms, to my misfortune leading down to vampire catacombs beneath my home.

I’ve been in here a few weeks now. It’s lovely, but this happened today …
