Erica Meakin from Brisbane Australia posted on 28 Mar 2022 6:39:01 PM Loved it. I hadn't realised it was an actual thing when I use the wing word or can't remember the name of something. Very cleverly done and funny
Anna Carson from Middle Riddge Australia posted on 11 Sep 2021 8:43:30 AM Congratulations Ian Such a brilliant insight into what its like to live with MS. We will never use a spatula in our house again - it will always be a flippy stick In fact I think you may have started a trend Im off to make scrambled eggs with the whirly gig
