Albireo380 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Heard about this from a friend a few minutes ago - so did the trial and then logged in.

Kenny_10_Bellys Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Yeah, I'd hate to think they made any hard decisions or based any facts on my 5 second scrutinisation of a tiny fuzzy orange blob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
