Interesting as ever DMD(performs Curtsy in recognition)...

Point 2 has some interest...I wouldn't say no to Amanda Holdens c*a*k(sorry ladies).

Still huge reserves nearby that greens are stopping the extraction of.. It also has the second largest natural harbour in the world after Port Jackson, Sydney.

She can sit naked on the back of my motorbike any time she wants.

 

Gotta say Amanda Holden is foul plastic face and personality
