rick-p Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 You are so callous you lot, no one asked about the welfare of the Roo. Maybe you all thought that it was best to skip that issue. Please don't jump on the site now and ask how the Roo is, did you know that it was on holidays at Thangool visiting relatives but now it has had to take it's holidays all over the district, after the prop hit it.

cooperplace Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 so now the roo is soup? You'd want to strain it, make sure there's no bits of prop in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
