Re: 250k posts
It's a shame Alan Llewellyn isn't still around, I feel like we would have crossed that 250k posts and be quickly heading towards 500 by this time, sad to think it's been a whole year since he last posted.
Lose one queen and it is a disaster, Lose 1000 queens and it is just a statistic.

Re: 250k posts
I am quite fond of Alan and we have good chats about rugby on Facebook messenger. He told me he has gone cold turkey with the posts and lapses have been very few over the last 6 month. Certainly during the current amazing World Cup.Joey Stewart wrote: ↑Tue Oct 17, 2023 4:41 pmIt's a shame Alan Llewellyn isn't still around, I feel like we would have crossed that 250k posts and be quickly heading towards 500 by this time, sad to think it's been a whole year since he last posted.
