ReplyDeletemakes sense to me scroblene...but then again you and i come from the mind set that we have nothing to hide so why would we think another way...
ReplyDeletebtw...i was here...no need to check a list :)
Hello Scrobs, Sweetheart. I never found that drugs ever enhanced my performance...the last thing you need before a race is a shot of heroin or a spliff...sensible girl.

4)Met a gorgeous Mrs S...
Elecs - Just remember that tracksuit bottoms are the best relief from bad bouts of squitters...
