Be afraid people!! These are the two miscreants that got me onto my RF (That's still going strong after years of abuse!) one recommends the other - it's a vicious circle!
Get a decent coffee machine!! (Or barrista)
Thanks guys! And it's good to see you back in the business Barry

Awesome stuff Barry,
Now I can do all my shopping under one roof perhaps, so long as you can get WMCC to start stocking some Spidi and A'Stars.

Nice work Barry! I'll have to come and pay you a visit in your new digs.
I can't promise to buy anything as substantial off you as I did last time though...
Clivoris
30th September 2009, 18:17
Hope it works out as good as it should Barry. I've missed being able to visit you randomly and discuss the finer points of small animal sacrifice. Can they put a CCTV out front for you so you have time to hide behind the counter when Hitch and J2 come in?

At least you're now at a shop where your experience and expertise will be rewarded and acknowledged. Well done.

If you want coffee, go next door and tell Enzo his old man said the coffees were on him!
And while you're there, get him to go and get a decent jacket, for his power packed B120!
