I can’t withdraw my labour There’s things that must be done But I remember yesteryear When working here was fun So I must grin and bear it and it seems such a shame That now I`m just a number ….. where once I was a name …… Post Extras       Entire topic Subject Posted by Posted on The Locky Keeper UncleAlbert 28/04/2008 01:47 Re: The Locky Keeper B175Chris   28/04/2008 17:31 Re: The Locky Keeper Brayman   28/04/2008 10:33 Re: The Locky Keeper No_Regrets   28/04/2008 12:22 Re: The Locky Keeper byron   28/04/2008 10:14 Re: The Locky Keeper theguvnor   28/04/2008 08:34 Re: The Locky Keeper jaws   28/04/2008 12:32 Re: The Locky Keeper Brayman   28/04/2008 13:54 Re: The Locky Keeper Cuchilo   28/04/2008 07:33 Extra information 3 registered and 1 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
