Yes it’s crime and yes somebody is found dead in the opening
Funny old month January isnt it? This year more than ever I have wanted to spend January indoors and on the sofa rather than out and about. I am not ashamed to say that I have spent many an afternoon or early morning bingeing TV programmes and now even have a list on notepad of trailers I have seen and think “oooh that sounds good”. Back in 2015 binge-watch was

Within seconds (literally seconds) you will be inundated with hundreds of “oh my god, yes please” messages from friends desperate to get their hands on a slightly-too-high-to-be-comfortable Costco Trolley. Or maybe
When I get approached to review a company I always do a bit of research into them first to see what customers have said. It feels slightly disingenuous if my one order was a success and I rave about them but there’s a trail of unhappy clients leaving reviews on TrustPilot or Google.
