nbplastering Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 thats great i only just found out how good of a boxer he was by trying to find him, the guy he was working for at the time i meet him told me he was a boxer but never had access to internet then. beside what i know now he is a good lad who i never kept contact with i even plastered some of his house!! and saw photos! silly me. just wunded if he is still a sparky as we need one where we are and he sprung to mind, would be nice to catch up.
