Is it necessary* to put the asterisk* every time you* mention Lavender* in the text*?
Could Paula Keamy be stepping up to the plate? Hmmm…..
Bring back ECD of the year, Adrian McNamara from River Orchid.
He’s a legend. Best of luck.
Simon’s the best CD I’ve ever worked with…he’s taken the scent of Lavender from “Rose Water to Chanel”…He’s on his way to the top and I wish him well.
Maybe Scottie could be tempted back, roller skates and all.
Fuck mate, that’s not what I heard.
