0 grey cells Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 [spoiler=W00t for my Belgian hero ] Good one, Andro. I really love him and that adorable spinster Miss Marple. Undoubtedly two unforgettable characters created by the "Queen of Crime" BTW, I am planning to have a moustache, the Hercule Poirot style and have almost succeeded. And then you know where my name come from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
