Guest BadgerFeatures Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Should be good. Can I please encourage anyone in a band to do it, because the standard at the last one was a bit poor and I like to be entertained while I pour pints! Plus, if you come in for an application you get to chat to bored ol' me, hurrah!! xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
