Bury Yellow 2 Posted January 4, 2017 Its been a tough old day today and now to discover TG will not be around for a few weeks. How are we all going to cope without his accurate predictions? I can always do without his sickly admiration for Jezz so thats a plus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
