maryportfuncity 10,636 Posted December 15, 2011 Reg Presley poured a small fortune into paranormal research after Wet Wet Wet's cover of Love is All Around made him a very rich man. He's getting much closer to finding out if his money was wasted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,636 Posted January 9, 2012 Re Reg Presley, I've met the man and "entertaining" is definitely the word I would use. I'd have very mixed feelings snagging dead pool points from any misfortune befalling him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JR976evil 905 Posted July 28, 2012 Seriously worth considering for 2013 I'd say, by then will have been 12 months since the cancer was diagnosed, few survive lung cancer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
