It scared the shit out of me for weeks every time I needed to take a piss in the night. I thought I was going to get sucked into another dimension. Of course, my friend said she couldn’t possibly keep it in her own flat. "It’s too big, Moony, where would I put it?’ I tried to get it into my van today but it wouldn’t fit. I still have no idea how my parents got it to me in the first place. They drive a Fiat."
