Summary
A bloated, rotting ram floating in a Cornish quarry, a 12-year-old boy bullied into dragging it out, a finger inserted into a decomposing eye socket, and a long, smelly walk home that nobody ever forgot. The Extra Legendary Bit is where Johnny Vaughan and Gavin "The Woodman" Woods dive into your messages and uncover the gloriously unhinged tales sent in by the Bloomin' Legends nation.
