Jimmy the blue Posted April 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 There are three or four of us exchange posts from round the world and these things just show up, sometimes they are naff but others are really good. The Qantas one has already done the rounds, I spotted it in an old file on this computer, the Cook one came to me from the States having been sent there from Ipswich, it is a small world these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
