Thanks for the insight to the show looks to have been a good one I see your mum is still shy. You could be right there Kenny though the camera seems to aim itself at Blues...... although if you were present then i'm sure you could point me in the right direction towards different reds . Aye Sam seemed to take to Jacks 35 The show was cracking until midday Monday, but yes mum still shy and not wanting to be in front of the camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
