Bloody high praise indeed.<br /><br />"where the Citra was drinking well alongside the Batemans"<br /><br />I know this Citra fellow but who's this Batemans dude? :)<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PS - "and he drive me round East Yorkshire"<br /><br />Drove dear boy; and not a herd of cattle either. ;)<br />(or perhaps 'offered to drive'?)Russtovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493687426847380993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677885556404476308.post-31434776749048369122018-12-05T22:55:40.640+00:002018-12-05T22:55:40.640+00:00Wait.
