    NO.


    Sorry but I can't name anybody because it can happen to anybody.
    Life can be nasty.




    I came close 16 years ago.

    Now things are good but I never take it for granted as hopefully I still have to feed myself +3 for the next 30+ years.

    Next year things will be tight as the old Scudo will need tyres.

    It's the clean up afterwards in just the speedos that generates the real cash.

    Egass gets paid tons to keep his cloths off where I get paid to put them back on:cool:, double if I'm really quick, it's amazing how quick you can get to used to screams of revolution;)
