Oy, if it's Good(ie) enough for Bill Oddie, it's good enough for me.

Personally I've spotted a variety of tits today, some great ones, some small ones. Fortunately I haven't seen any blue or, even worse, bearded ones yet.

With any luck I might see a Parrot peeing through a hedge later as well.

Any sadder than getting SUFC updates sent to your phone?
