  • "As you can tell, just like Flappy bird, my game is dead."

(Like what's a gal meant to do with this?)

  • "A quick rant about: (in an angry Irish accent) MY HOUSEMATES KEEP LEAVING BANANA PEELS ON THE FLOOR IT'S REALLY *makes a steretypical, 1940s cartoon, falling on a banna peel noise*" (to be fair, it was a very good impression)

  • "A random fact I love is: If you 🥜 in 2 minutes in 🐶 style that's actually 14 minutes in 🐶 years 🤯"

  • "Something that's non-negotiable for me is: *makes what can only be described as terrifying drowning Mario noises*"

A man with a physique carved out of marble (I wish!) and a heart that beats for the thrill of the game. *David Attenborough voice falters* A-and his love for the ocean that knows no bounds. I speak of course, of Justin. With a passion for the gym, surfing and rugby, he's the ultimate package for anyone looking for a partner that's physically fit and mentally strong."
