So you have returned Vernon, very good.
Saw the photo yesterday with the eye patch, all you need now is a Parrot on your shoulder and you can do long John Silver in the Christmas panto.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Hello everyone
Plus of course a wooden leg. Now who do we know who would lend it out , for a small sum of course. They are sex friendly these days and one size fits all. Forget about the list you can always ballast on the high side , the worst that can happen you will fall down the stairs like J in Ozs favourite Premier. Cheers JS.
