Channel 648.

Tannas just slid here hand over james leg and whispered something in his ear.

TV lip readers cant figure out what she is saying,Then to everyones surprise they realise she is whispering in french.

Translation coming up soon=aha she whispered "its ok luv im taking noted"

Meanwhile the judge calls for Quarter time and a 10 minute break.

WOW isnt this exciting.

Score update: Ten minutes into the third quarter and the Bombers are seven goals down. James Hird limping and Tanya Subbed off with writer's cramp.
