stan somthing or other

best put allegedly as it was second hand information but he did stop going in ossy con

seemed like a decent enough chap too he dressed up as zorro and helped us raise money for the local childrens hospice but lets not start beleeting on about charity work im sure he dosnt require a pat on the back every time he does a good deed

Stan was a long time member in Ossy Con accyman long before he moved to Rishton, I suppose its hard work braking your drinking habits, but I do know he hasn't been using Ossy con for 4 or five years now.

Was a regular at Rishton Con when I was working there but as seems to be the trend can be seen more often in Clayton Con these days:)

Rishton residents are quite election-savvy on the quiet and can spot vote-grabbing a mile off.
