Poor guy. Great TV personality for Australia
That guy is a moron, but still this is a horrible thing to happen
Here's hoping we don't have to wake up tomorrow to the news of his death, hopefully the surgery is a success.
[QUOTE=download;33732564]That guy is a moron, but still this is a horrible thing to happen[/QUOTE] Elaborate?
Never heard of him, but unfortunate to hear.
He's very famous in Australia but not at all elsewhere really. Most famous artists who visit the country usually meet or get interviewed by him. He's a pretty cool guy
Molly molly molly. don't really like him that much
