He wants a chance to win it back but he's got no chance coz im off in now...Nanna's been cooking some fadgies and i wanna mek sure i get one before the rest of the family nick em all!

Yes it's true, the (bloody) French are killing our beloved Teesside Tin Tin. Videos all over the web are disappearing rapidly as the French animation company, Ellipsanime, are flexing their copyright muscles to prevent any of us seeing the foul mouthed little shit!

To be honest, it could have been a well washed 2011 shirt...they all look the same to me!
