A brazen plug

Posted on March 12, 2017 by Sophie

No, not of the 13 amp variety, draped in something unseemly and making eyes at you. Nor indeed a shameless foreign two pronged specimen, with a saucy manner. No, this is simply TLF in begging mode….. I was hoping I … Continue reading →

Tempestuous Times

Posted on January 29, 2017 by Sophie

Last weekend was all about kulture. Probably for the best seeing as the Mighty Saints were defeated by the wintery conditions and had an unexpected weekend off while Lesta were yet again doing their best to be the more recognisable … Continue reading →
