LOL I just heard this story on the radio. The afternoon disk-jockey's were
really feeling sorry for Chris for having to give up his bird, but it was
like the bird was just rubbing salt in the wound. One of the things they
reported the bird did was, if it heard the name "Gary" on the television it
would start making kissing sounds.

I hope Gary drops Suzy like a hot potato. If she knew the relationship with
Chris wasn't working out she should have broken it off, not started cheating
on him... in his own apartment/flat, no less!
