can i just ask a silly question? if my signature was 2 big how come pics can be posted the same size n nowt said bout it??? bit silly really.
by the way saint u dont happen 2 still have the original bonnet do u??
2 sum more of ya's im not originally frm bishop im frm spennymoor. never really come through on a sunday nite i grew outta that think the reason not many people come through is cos the council started 2 lock the car parks up cos of complaints frm local residents.
