  • Spoilers below so don’t read if you haven’t read a book published 180 years ago

    It is the greatest story of vengeance ever written.

    Not revenge, vengeance.

    The book is bat shit wild. There are parts where you will remember after you finished and think ‘was that a fever dream?’

    There was a cross dressing lesbian couple or did I imagine that?

    Did he really just burn down the whole house?

    How did he survive the poisoning?

    Who is that bandit again?

    What was buried in the yard?

    So many tangential story lines that culminate in an amazing climax.

    So many moments that are little vignettes which explain pivotal moments in the characters.

    The crazy Abbes relief when Dantes believes him.

    The live fish being delivered in barrels

    The fact no one escapes the Counts wrath.

    Wait and Hope Baby. Wait and hope.


  • Best you can hope for on bumble is a ‘hey’ from the woman.

    That’s all they ever need to say, because again, it’s stacked heavily in favour of women so when they send 100 ‘hey 👋🏼’ messages they get 95 replies that have to carry the entire conversation. It sucks but that’s the reality.

    PSA: If you’re a guy on a dating site and you reply with just “hey” or something similar to a lady then you’ve fucked up.

    You get one shot at a semi-witty reply that may get her to smile before your reply is buried under 100 other guys also vying for her attention.

    Just quickly read her profile and make some kind of riff off of it with an open ended question.

    “Hey blahblah I saw you liked The Office, I’m more of a fan of working from home myself.

    Also, why’s everyone seem to be looking for Jim? Who’s that guy?”
