[Lord Lucan]

tbh not to sure I would be welcome with some individuals due to the current situation on the darkside lads so best if I dont go as there could be a very heated discussion with certain individuals and until there is a resolution of some serious issues I am best to stay out of it till things are dealt with mind you I am awaiting some formal response but I will not hold my breath
