You have lurkers Melch? Take three of these and have a lie down in a dark room for an hour.

I say "Get you lurkers out for the forum"... they must know it makes sense by now.

Congratulations on the festival results as well to all of the northern fleet.

now I do believe we might have a proper non politically corrected contest on our hands here Alex... most scatterbrained bandy... i'm afraid young Craigy boy may have some competition from our side of the water...

"Car passes? why do you need car passes??

well we have to drive to Nelson Rasher.. carrying a horn, 2 lots of rig.. might be possible but I'd like to see Frank walk from Horndean with the bass drum and the tigerskin!

Oh yeah!! I did do that last year didn't I..."

the case for the prosecution as it stands....
