Cuddle Cat
By Talisker

She washed the toy.

She washed the toy.

She washed the toy.

 

The scent of her missing child

gone  in solution

down the waste pipe of

a Hotpoint WF560G

Is the WF560G the one that comes with a 30-day free trial?

I heard that the police are to use it as their star witness in the 30 day trial, if they can find a long enough extension lead

We had a hotpoint once. Vomitted its contents over a brand new carpet and was consigned to the tip. 
 
Enjoyed the rhythm. Liked the irreverence.

The way I read this is that the essence of the mccain tragedy has been swallowed by the constant recycling, as shown by the repeating first line, of the story by the media, or modernity as represented by the Hotpoint. Oh and the fact it is has an air of comedy about it reinforces the extent the event has been trivalised by this process. Probably the most interesting thing I have seen written about the girl's disappearance so far, bravo.
