We continue with the "What are they up to now" stories in this edition and we'd like to continue with them well into the future. There's a lot of interest in them, blokes and blokettes like to know what their mates, who they haven't seen or heard from for yonks, have been up to since last they last met. If you'd like your story told, please send up your history along with a couple of photos - and that includes you blokettes too...
