I will be all wrapped up for my journey...I don't mind a bit of cold and wet as long as a beer and a bacon sandwich is available... I'm easily led lol !!

The only reason there is no bottom picture is that there may be a problem with the tickle.

Wow....I forgot that showing any part of the body here(except your hands and face) are a sin.

50 Hail Mary's for me then....

Shirt back on (for the pic at least lol) - It's probably a very good thing as I've been getting some really Gay email in my inbox !!!  Not me guys !!!

One more week till UK..Luv it !!

:)

some believe that even showing your hands is a sin.. but I digress, because I wanted to compliment your new pic!  You look much better than the first, where you appeared older and your face was twisted!

So the new avatar is a change for the better, methinks :)
