Is that Narrative Causality or Historical Imperative or just plain weird?
Am-Chau, I think you'll be ok, as long as you can't tell me which colour skivvy each Wiggle wears. If you know that, then I'm sorry, your street-cred card will have to be cut up. t waves scissors in a vaguely menacing fashion, sure in the knowledge that I won't have to use them but admiring the shiny
I'm blaming Hec for my current Wombles earworm, by the way.
