The way the luvvies usually read them on the radio with all the Ts and Cs at the ends of words over articulated and spitty - makes me want to smack the radio. But I read Mr Muir's Confirmation and it got to me. Good find.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221678517219914529noreply@blogger.com
