Spendog Hey Beasts - HAPPY CHRISTMAS!!! I've just tried callin on the number on your blog and think Joe answered and could hear you in the background but frustratingly you couldn't hear me. I called at 11pm here so around 9am there (yes I know that would be early for Christmas day) but looking at your fb if Joe is working today I'm sure you will be up and making the most of the day! Aaaargh so annoying as really wanna speak to you guys! Anyway will try again in a bit but if I dont get through have a mint day (Joe done work too hard, after all you are in Oz and it is Xmas day) Elle get pissed and do lots of w***er dancing on the beach!!! Love you guys Speno xxxxxxxx
