Popular Post Cadbury Posted June 26, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2018 That all looks very impressive. Did anybody check to see what was really inside those bags and boxes? What an evil thought that was knowing how the reputation of the RTP is beyond reproach. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Ray Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 What a coincidence, I was only commenting yesterday on another thread that we never hear about this, and blow me down it happened the next day. I too hope the drugs were still in the bags! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
