## Resource

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. What You'll Hear in This Episode: 🐑 Byron and the dead ram – a group of teenage boys find a decomposing sheep floating in their swimming quarry and send the youngest in to deal with it, with truly horrifying results ✈️ Flight Lieutenant Willy Welsh – a six-foot Rand pilot who earned a DFC and bar for his complete disregard for danger flying Halifax and Whitley bombers 🔥 The five sisters of Erith – all named after plants, all blonde, all under 5'5", and they formed what's believed to be the first all-woman fire brigade team in Britain during the Blitz 😂 Randy George – a former Chief of Staff of the US Army with possibly the greatest name in military history If you love funny true stories, listener tales, childhood disasters, wartime legends and comedy podcasts, this bonus episode of Bloomin' Legends is for you.
