I?

I'm sure I know this one, but I can't think who! (I have the feeling it begins with an "R" but I'm not certain).

St Louis and Oklahoma City?

Re: Nemmy's Fun Quiz No.7
 

I was painting a picture. :erm:
I'm relearning how to paint in acrylics and as they are plastic based you can't leave them because they dry out and become useless and you can ruin the brushes as well.So once I started I couldn't stop.

When is Nemmy back with his quiz?

Re: Nemmy's Fun Quiz No.7
 

I've started so I'll finish... :D
