Guest Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Herself has gone to Waterford to see her sister ( peace!!) blasting Gallagher & Lyle -2.99 pence from the second hand record shop in Bulwell- in a small courtyard i think. As for you 'ilson lot-ardness is not measured just by pub punch ups! Like Benjamin said about ties and hankies- CLASS as well as courage , thats Bulwell-- why in Worksop and Ilkeston they'd mistake a cravat for a torniquet!! LOL!!!
