bit club coming fair fully games good left loyalty understand wants

expected medical staff

Our best estimate at this early stage is he'll be back in 12 weeks.
talking walked
He was open-mouthed when Tallis walked up to him and started talking to him.

Half-time came at a good time for us. We tidied a couple of things up and completed our sets and they made a couple of silly errors.
