No Phil its not Danny , you should be able to tell from the virtual legs , Danny's are shorter.LOL
Thanks Mark ,yep he borrowed a rollie off Danny , which is a real achievement, have you tried getting a smoke out of him?.....Danny's on 40 a day... trouble is he only buys 10.
Thanks all .

Do you have to creep about for these shots Mark, or are the Stag's interested in just one thing ?

The weathermen certainly didn't predict the weather in Norfolk this weekend :mad:

I'm quite jealous of this as there was hardly any breath to be seen when I went on monday. I have to admit that it looks a bit blue on my monitor, but that may just be me (or my monitor of course). Anyway a nice result.
