They are currently offering a 'superb stud male' at a 'massive discount' with free delivery - I wonder what he's done!Macheathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451439759398780345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8565737623121795004.post-51462586475667709272014-07-14T16:57:45.246+01:002014-07-14T16:57:45.246+01:00“It’s very exciting, this could finally be my big ...“It’s very exciting, this could finally be my big break.”<br /><br />Sounds like something Del Boy Trotter would say.
