Hello all - first time posting in the new format (how weird).

Sorry didn't post the other day, went out with my sister to the pub after work, was supposed to be a pub quiz, but we ended up just sat in a corner chatting. Was good anyway apart from reeking of cigarette smoke when I got home!

Everyone say hi to dellscorner who has now been added to my f-list;

Many fine upstanding citizens have sprung from Scunthorpe.
