Isn't Tom Bolger himself Scottish as well?

In reply to Tyler: His family live in Edinburgh but he was born in Bath though lived in Yorkshire for 15 years or so.

In reply to Morgan Woods:

Oops, yes indeed.

In reply to UKC News:

Tom is not Scottish, however, he does like deep fried mars bars and bankie chicks!!! Has also had a few Glesgae ginger monsters in his time!!!!

Alan also warmed down on a 7b+ and another 2x7c+s, beast!!!!!! However, hangover spanking on a 7c!!!! Hangover after only a couple of little halves!!!

In reply to UKC News:

Nice one Alan! I remember your first 7c on-sight all those years ago! I can remember sitting in the bar with you that night gambling for coffee beans and you made your beans into the shape of '8c', great to hear that you've now realised that ambition. Top man.
