Welcome Sid [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drinks.gif[/img]
Have you ever lent someone 20 quid and never seen it again? It was probably worth it.


Long Loved TDM is no longer with me...

Hi Sid and Welcome !

It seems entirely appropriate for a Rugby player/fan to choose the very masculine, aggressive, rugged ( and best) looking TDM, the mk1 !

Me, well I bought mine cos it wer cheap and I live in Worksop. Quite a unique posing tool in these parts, esp. with a current tax disc ! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif[/img]

I know a bloke called Ben who's a plumber and lives in Leeds, used to work with him in the 90's dahn Landan !

Is Fat Freddy's Cafe still there in Leeds ?
