Oh dear!

Gollum2 will need extra Pampers now, extra gigantic absorption ones!

Militarising Gib, eh?

I wonder if some of his old command will come and visit him, especially the subs!

Spain, you don’t have to take the piss out of them, after this they’ll be pissing themselves and it won’t be through laughing.

If you read the rest of the article you would see that the name was spelled correctly thereafter.

I met your friend Peter Baxter on 1 June at Benmore's open day. I asked him if he knew you and gave him the information you supplied over all your posts. He said, sorry, I have no idea who that could be .....it doesn't ring any bells. I find that rather puzzling .
