LipbalmOrKnickers · 20/06/2022 10:03

Ben's beard looks smaller than usual. Have the support wrens fledged already??

CatsOperatingInGangs · 20/06/2022 10:04

After listening to the James Esses trial, its a relief to hear the professinal tones of Judge G, Mr H, Ms O and the lovely BC

WookeyHole · 20/06/2022 10:04

Clarification from IO that change was only to commentary and not content of the chronology

nauticant · 20/06/2022 10:04

Finally got back in after being in limbo. Ahh, how I've missed bundle talk.
