The problem with these threads is the failure to acknowledge the BEST of THE BEST despite all the help freely given.
Times change..........life and punting.........moves on........despite..........no need too....I want too........help fellow punters. Been doing just that for years.........will continue.   |

yes, he came across as a dependable sort ( if you know what i mean ), he had some lovely looking lady friends.
 i liked the part early in the book when he was teamed up with " george taters chatham ".. peter goes on to say " george is 70 years old and is still like a tiger prowling the streets looking for a friendly roof " GREAT STUFF. |
