Comment by Rob November 29, 2018 @ 6:52 amI think most people would rather be sentenced to 100 years in prison with no chance of parole.
Comment by DH November 29, 2018 @ 6:30 pmMeant to say good work with Doug. He seems a nice man and you certainly are for what you did.
Comment by George November 29, 2018 @ 6:38 amOh he did far more for me, a wonderful man and I’m looking forward to introducing him to a few of England’s great cuisines. For great, please replace with questionable.

Comment by andy@cynic November 29, 2018 @ 5:07 pmGood video, though the doughnut van in Berry NSW is way better than Kracky Kreme
Comment by Rob (Other one) November 29, 2018 @ 9:53 pmTo be fair, a 7-11 corndog is better than most KK’s.
Comment by Pete November 29, 2018 @ 10:10 pmKrispy Kreme. Not Kim Kardashian.
Comment by Pete November 29, 2018 @ 10:10 pmHappily I have never had a 7-11 corndog, but I expect it tastes like flour coated grease
