It's been a while since the last episode lots going on, but a quick note to everyone. If you could please help a good friend of mine with their fund raising page it would mean a lot. They lost their Mother to cancer and part of her wishes was to raise money. It's a sad time but hopefully some good can come out of it and help others that would be better.https://bit.ly/2RXcFHdI caught up with Dave Feltham and chatted Brexit, The Gwdihw fight and the Gillette Ad. Dave was a contrarian as usual.
