[_Tom_]

I love the background music :flutter:

[Braden]

I have no words. I've been completely slayed.

[Headie]

I wish i could mute these UK presenters. They make ours sound like professionals.

Why aren't you watching it on TV in Finland :suspect:

[Calderyon]

*can't imagine how miserable you'd have to be not to at least partially enjoy that but oh well*

I have a blood hatred against musicals, that´s probably the reason i didn´t enjoy that.

[Samm]

This is a bawp

[Firewire]
