Great, great blog, very funny.<br /><br />You obviously have not got your fridge house-trained. First thing to do to domesticate it is adorn it with lots of magnets. Fridges love these sorts of things. Then take it for a walk, as you said it walks, avoid shops that say “No Fridges Allowed” and let it defrost itself behind a suitable tree.JW10https://www.blogger.com/profile/06900900012977715640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6541071671186563593.post-51617669909528624772010-09-04T21:07:12.752+02:002010-09-04T21:07:12.752+02:00Don't fret DD - I'm sure it didn't aff...Don't fret DD - I'm sure it didn't affect them.
