Lol....you set yourself some tasks don't you :lol: But I'm sure you'll find exactly the right one....would be a shame not to use him and the lovely CT you have :good:
What colour are you going to go for? If I see anything I can let you know. Not sure if Daz will be doing anything yet cos he's off today and tomorrow but who knows....he might get bored later and put some on lol
