steve hamilton Your postcard arrived this morning 24th September Not a bad service as it was only posted last Thursday Ian have sent a copy of your CV to Roman as they appear to be struggling to find a manager to replace Jose and the current one can only work if the day is not a religious holiday

Stu Murphy Have you bumped into Maureen yet ? I have heard has gone to LA to see if Becks can find him any bar work out there. Poor Old Jose
