The Overseas Connection #715 - We're not done yet.
Kim, Greg, and Robin see out the old year and bring in the new with a parp.
We blah, blah blah for an hour or so and compare Christmas Presents. As per usual Greg's is bigger and takes even more batteries than Kim's.
You are formally invited to a very respectful and quiet weekend in Las Vegas, the weekend of the 18th of May. Popular to contrary belief it will not be an intoxicating joyride of debauchery and naughty behaviour.
Victims/guests need only let us know of their interest.
Happy New Year from us all you reprobates and see you in 2023.
