Flattieman Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 GREAT reddie, mik! Sounds like you managed a good feed of reds before there was too much and not enough going on. I don't blame you for heading straight back out! Shame that the school had moved on. Flattieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
