Well if you enjoy Bob or Eddie's organs, get to Tod...

I just hope they make enough money for that roller blind they've been after.

Not a recent blocking too. Christ, its hardly the most original idea I know but seeing my good friends interact with it really stings.

We were at some disagreement about just why Grotbags wanted to kidnap Emu, was it to control all children and rule the world or did she want to eat him?

Includes Ben's fantastic Croc impression.

She will never leave.

Even if she needs the toilet

And she will not divert eye contact.
