[Cap]

MUDDY? yuk, I don't touch it much when its muddy.

anyway, gives me plenty of time to take my chickens for a walk down to the park.

Definitely not my turn to wash the jumpers

 

[Cap]

 

[T2B_]

Well at least the mud might keep the Bears smell down a bit

 

[Matera92]

Matera92

 

[Wosh]

Awwww you did your hair for me, beautiful!

 

[T2B_]

It’s game day
In the spirit of Heritage Round, I’m having a very 90s Heritage brekkie of champions

Seems like Weetbix but also sorta doesn't look like Weetbix. What's going on here?

 

[Tigerturbulance]

I feel for the team who loses the coin toss and has to play “skins” rather than shirts
-the resulting mudbath would make a Tigerturbulance hot tub look clean…

did someone say mudbath

 

[MWPP]

Seems like Weetbix but also sorta doesn't look like Weetbix. What's going on here?

I wondered if someone would spot the weetabix v weetbix factor but I did expect it to be Chipmunk

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

I knew the Dragons were going to soil themselves, but MUDDY is a bit much.

 

[Blaze Storm]

Booears

 

[Chipmunk]

I wondered if someone would spot the weetabix v weetbix factor but I did expect it to be Chipmunk

Well it’s not unusual for us Brits to come in and improve things

 

[AceAndy]

Not really sure what that is. Dr AA recommends a sausage and egg McMuffin for your breakfast.

 

[AceAndy]

Well at least the mud might keep the Bears smell down a bit

Excellent point.

 

[AceAndy]

Well it’s not unusual for us Brits to come in and improve things

Yeah like what

 

[Test Tickle]

Excellent point.

RUDE!!

 

[MWPP]

Excellent point.

As if the mud is going to stop us from doing what we do best - shitting in the woods

 

[T2B_]

As if the mud is going to stop us from doing what we do best - shitting in the woods

I thought that was the pope

 

[Cap]

Well at least the mud might keep the Bears smell down a bit

 

[Cap]

As if the mud is going to stop us from doing what we do best - shitting in the woods

 

[Cap]

I thought that was the pope

I'm not sure the vatican has any woods
