The itsy, bitsy spider, he climbed up JJ's back
JJ came along, and gave the spider a wack.
And then came a goat and JJ got distracted,
So the itsy, bitsy spider climbed up his back again.

Toph, You never really gave us an update on the differences of the UK to Australia since you moved. You think you will ever go back to the UK.
