@ grootblousmile:
Don’t do twitter either and don’t even have an account but when I couldn’t get access to the superbru website i checked their twitter account from my computer to see if their was an alternative. It was useful in that case.
OK, 10 minutes to do a quick few things… see you on the other thread
95 @ Pietman:
Well done Blues. Hope my picks are showing on bru. I had Blues by 3 I think. Just pleased I never picked Landers again.
Nice win Blues!
