Well, I want one, really. A good, solid local that I can rely on. What am I talking about? Simple. Remember reading “Andy Capp” in the Sunday Globe (or whatever paper they have in the benighted hinterlands you hail from) and he’d stumble in from a night of boozing?

So, the lady friend and I went looking for a new place and found something straight-up unbelievable. A gigantic loft with about, oh, say, 10x the space we currently have.
