Meeerrrrry Chriiiiiiiistmaaaaaaaaaaaaas!

Old Man Roomy Remembers…Assange’s Apocalypse
It’s bin a while since I posted on these here pages. Back then I gave you the lowdown on young Tony Hadley’s burnin’ desire for porcine pleezure, and our own Head Chef’s obsession with the bovine, but the whole world’s changed since then, yessir.
