Holy shit I never knew that either. I still have all the pics that were posted on SN before I deleted the thread on there to respect Martin's wishes.

Proper fucking crash that one.

Saw it on the gumball footage the other day, complete with martin wandering around all dazed and confused.

They seemed to totally gloss over your injurys though it was presented as "at least no one was hurt"

Was Martins sister Kev. She wasn't helped as she got confused as many new people do with the ' ' Smile

She used it to say she was upset... where as we all use it as laughter!

Cant the mods start a tossers room to put them all in?

i've put it in bold incase it gets missed!

nasty crash though, it's always been a bit of a strange one as other times theres been threads on it they strangely vanish over-night..
