Classic!
Very good move getting out of there.
Ha, don’t know which is more of a classic: Rodd, the outfit, or the Cadillac in the background! All the best in your new ventures mate!
Nice to see you dressing a bit better these days Roddy. You’re obviously on the new business hustings.
GO HARD RODDSTER!
