    Principle-wise I would love to. It is difficult 2 stay away from the forum. I think the members should decide who gets banned or blocked. Nobody on here would vote that George should get ousted from the forum.

    Mantequilla was full fat buttery smoothness here. Even considering the drain of Griffith, it was awesome to watch.

    It was a mistake, George is not banned, he posted. But Thanks for the compliment my friend.

    I believe that @George Crowcroft , like me, got drawn in like a moth to a flame. We circled and circled until we were burnt.

    I'll try and steer clear from this particular flame in future, if the flame ever is re-lit that is.

    I'm glad to be back, and the feeling was mutual when you came back. Bulldog is a real piece of work.
