Half a Bladder?

I get strange messages on my answering machine. It’s happened since I’ve lived here. Very few of them are directed toward me and I sometimes feel like some kind of unwitting spirit medium for the phone age. This one from last night:
Robbie, did I say “half a kidney, or half a bladder?”. It’s “half a bladder”. OK mate? Sorry about that if I made a mistake. Bye.
Thing is, I’m trying to work out a context in which this would make sense, but I just can’t. Half a bladder? Half a kidney? Here, listen to it yourself and help me with this metaphysical telecommunications conundrum:

[…] The Reverend Anaglyph (Balaban) is a gun-totin’, cigar smoking dapper con-man with a penchant for wearing perfume, who through a series of unlikely accidents comes into possession of a ‘Radionic Machine’ which is believed by some to bestow mysterious powers on its owner. When The Reverend travels to New York and meets leather-clad machine-gun wielding assassin-for-hire Jill (Beckinsale), the extent of those mysterious powers becomes plain. I don’t want to give too much away here, but it is sufficient to say that you’ll be wanting to hang on to your vital organs (especially kidneys and bladders) for these scenes. […]

Mabey England has turnd to Australian xspurts for help wit da Jack th Rippr investigation.
Not being able to listen to the mp3, I wonder
does he have a Scottish accent.
Offal plays a huge part in the Scottish diet
(don’t knock it till you’ve tried it… yum).
For example there’s our famous ‘cock’ soup
(otherwise known as ‘Cock a Leeky’, surprisingly
enough there are no penis’s harmed in this
concoction at all, it is in fact a chicken and leek
dish.
Of course we all know about our national dish,
Haggis, which basically consists of all the juicy
bits of a sheep (heart, lungs, liver etc), chucked
in the blender, add a litre of blood and boiled
barley stuffed into a sheep’s stomach then boiled
(excuse me I’m really drooling now)…
Now THAT is absolutely ‘to die for’ :P
Perhaps you almost learned about another Scottish
delicacy by accident.
An addendum, we do some amasing
things with cow’s tongues and tails
too btw… :P
