Brucie never really did it for me - thought he was a bit of a narcicist - certainly loved himself!!

Was pleased when I was afters and the Generation game was on - happily missed it!!

i think we all should take a moment of our time to remember Stephanie Slater the estate agent from Birmingham who was abducted in 1992 & kept in a wheelie bin in Newark by her capture who we have no need to name.., Stephanie looked to be around 50 years old according to what i have looked up on the internet, so sad :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

R.I.P Stephanie, a very brave girl
