Good to see school was cancelled so all the kids on the coast could mourn . Unfortuneatly my pleas for a day of mourning were turned down up here, the bosses just don't understand. Would have to of come close to being the face of the coast, along with ploddy, but guess that title will rest with the big yellow dinosaur now. |

but guess that title will rest with the big yellow dinosaur now. Untill of course they find another loveable yet scary croc to fill his place...... I wonder if Eric is now living with Steve Irwin  |
