July 14, 2018 daveywankenobie

When your partner gets her kicks by making a copy of you in animal crossing and giggles uncontrollably as you shake maracas 🙄it’s spousal abuse... #animalcrossingnewhorizons
Life may be shyte at the moment but you can help smiling at this cosy pooch transportation method 😂
Happy new year! Let’s hope we all survive the zombie apocalypse long enough to see 2022! 😂
Love is not expressed by grand gestures, bottles of champagne or expensive trinkets. It’s to be found instead in something as simple as feeling insanely happy that you’re both wearing matching slippers on Christmas Day. To me this says more about how alike and in love you are than any diamonds or lumps of hammered gold could ever do. 2020 has been a s&&t year - but it’s proven without any doubt that the person I’ve chosen to be in my life (and spent every single day with) is absolutely the right one for me. Happy Christmas all 🎄🎅🏻
When your partner discovers the 1962 Peel P50 in Forza Horizon 4 😂
Seems like Tesco now do an ultra hd car wash! Try as I might I couldn’t see where on earth to plug in my Xbox - and they mentioned nothing about high dynamic range 🤔if I didn’t know better I’d say that this was a clever marketing ploy to sell soap to men...
Today was the day... where I downloaded absolutely shedloads of patches and all of my current gen games loaded really quick and looked rather smooth. Hopefully some real system testing games will come out soon and next gen will start in earnest! #xboxseriesx
I knew the Earth was flat!!! Video games proved it! #thetouryst
Wonder what this noisy little sod trapped in the lampshade is? Not seen one of these before... 🤔
The dark side of trick or treating.
When your fish tank needs just a little.... something more.
I had the rudest taxi driver today! Honestly shocking service. I left no tip.
