Just Browny Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Why do folk take helicopters? Deathtraps. RIP 3 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Phil Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) My older sister, this afternoon in a car crash, we hadn’t spoken for over 20 years not even at our mom and dad’s funerals because we’re both pig headed buggers but the fault was mainly mine. It’s too late now do anything about It now and it’s already been made clear to me I won’t be welcome at the funeral. If you’re in a similar situation just pick up the phone and try to make contact.
