its still feeling snapped is that - but the best thing is, i'm ambidextrous - makes buftying things easier,


and thats another reason it took 8 hours to do - if i didnt have a dodgydidgit it'd be done in 6 hours, including buftying

i got a week off work and need to use it

and i been to postoffice matt
