Not to worry friend, I should have made" ?" not" !" in my comments, OK I too read in story a couple of days ago about the dark side and unchartered waters on comments Pg2 there. It seemed at time I,d read it before my drugs purchased, Pt Villa post stamp was 28th May and dont wish any semantics drama.. Knowledge is to be shared & wish no debate who or where it was first posted as time blurrs the source at times as we consume so much and trolling back is tedious, OK cheers.Welcome back and I enjoy your humour in older clips , cool?
