It’s Laura’s birthday, and she’s fresh back from a solo weekend in Edinburgh - meanwhile, Carmen’s got a bejeweled gift and a lot to say about people who actually take the time to write reviews.

This week on Shouldn’t Laugh But, the girls get into the bizarre case of a woman arrested for sending farts via text to her boyfriend’s ex (yep, that’s a thing), and the fact that 6-7 has somehow been crowned Word of the Year. What does it mean? Can they make 8-9 happen? The answer… is a firm no.
