Deathray 2,941 Posted May 19, 2019 Just now, Predictor said: Mince pie, what am I, British?

And a trolling team would be thus (if anyone submits this you will be DQed): John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith John Smith 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
