What will Sydney do without you two?
Just think Neighbours Nights will have two less fans; there'll be no one to rescue abandoned plants..; the taxi boats will go bust; Coles supermarket will be left with a huge stock of Tayto crisps;mint sauce will appear back on the shelves; the video shop will have to close; dogs will have to content with being dogs! It's a wonder there hasn't been a petition to keep the three of you there.
What are we going to do with no blog to look at? Dougal will be safe in Vietcong 'cos they don't eat lamb... the eat DOGS!!!!
Tight Arse Tuesdays???
