I am not special
I am one of these!
I am safe
I can be beaten at the most embarrassing parent game
I did start a new job today
I feel it
I hate myself for sharing this
I have no printable adjectives to describe John Key
I hear Nana does this with people's ironing...
I honour you Mr Birdseye
I know a dog that would do this
I know you from somewhere
I like it
I liked this
I might not be real after all
I wonder if I can get some of those drugs
I would have guessed about 5 years younger, but they've done the research...
I'll allow it
I'll allow it
I'll drink to that
I'm a better parent than the British PM

It is the little details that catch you out
It must be Stephen's
It was a day - Sandra's homework
It was a good day . . . for some at least
it was Spotify's fault
It was the teacher's fault
It would be a blessing.
It would never have been you . . .
It's a bonus year
It's a capitalist's world out there
It's a cow man
It's a quirky city
It's a whole new world
It's all relative
It's the pictures that got small
It's tough to follow the rules
