The Groan Zone

Greetings Groaners,

I fell to the lurgi over the weekend and feel like hammered poop. 💩 🤧

Only 3 games and a touch of groantent this week.

Your audience came in via email from D.Akervely from Cornwall.

As much birthday theme was stuffed into this episode as possible.

I assure groaners as I get older I will get groaner......and probably grumpier.

Admin Nicole kindly gifted me with some birthday facts for...
