Says "reyt" instead of right. Drives a racing blue coloured Ford Focus. Wears a tracksuit even when not exercising, shorts on a sunny day to show off the Sheffield Wednesday tattoos on the leg. Says cheers instead of thank you. Owns a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Lost life savings gambling and thinks they are a stand up comedian that everyone wants to listen to after 3 pints of Strongbow Dark Fruit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
