‘A single golf club.

Around which has grown an annual indoor golf game between me and my four boys complete with rule book Committee meetings, costumes (dress you wouldn’t want to be seen dead in or posting on social media), and a trophy, it’s loud, extremely aggressive and verbal abuse of other players is mandatory. It’s currently in its twelfth year.’

‘When I viewed my old flat, there was a dodgy looking monstrosity of a painting (actually painted on the wallpaper) of Robson Green in the main bedroom.

‘They left their cats. There were these two cats that kept hanging around the garden. Eventually found out from a neighbour that they belonged to the previous owners who just left them. So now we leave food out for them and leave the shed door open so they have somewhere to shelter from the weather.’

‘A kitchen with a fridge and cupboards full of shite, including half empty, expired food. When we collected the keys the estate agent said the seller had ‘left us some food as a welcome present’.’
