I'd been sleeping poorly what with my agonies needed an early morning nap but at a ratatatat on the front door I jerked awake and obediently open up, a respectable couple not this time trying to get me to switch my energy supplier or join the young communists but 'We're from The Sun' asking me if I had any thoughts on the 'Love Island House' Excuse me what She mentioned a house number and I blearily glanced across the road at the house recently painted in blue and pink mumbling, I really don't care about it 'Could we use your name' but I'm not deranged enough to give them that, and It turns out it wasn't the house opposite but further along beyond my eyeline, I'd seen it tarted up with lights seems it's been called out by a disgruntled neighbour "The house is lit up like a building from Las Vegas" and The Sun was frothing at the thought of a Love Island related story and bothered me Lee Holloway Towers in his fretful slumbers Not my problem baby and I will never sleep again
