by Rayed Mamun on May 16, 2012

Happy St Totteringham's Day

And so we arrive at the end of the road after a long journey. It’s been a journey that hasn’t been all smooth sailing, there have been some rough waves and nasty obstacles. In the end, he roughed it out and finished ahead of the enemy with one last push, riding with the wave, instead of against it like in recent weeks.
