Hi Ian

I have decided to grace Sweethope with my presence. Luckily Paul Gascoigne is a lifelong fan of mine, so he will be thrilled

.... (er, NO, must be t'other way round).

Calling all fishermen! Save the Celebs from the Mouldy Oldie! Join up now and do something great for mankind. Brave the possibility that you might draw the short straw.

Cheers

Trish
