What profound thoughts do you have Freddy?
I need a holiday.
Surely profound Freddy, any more thoughts? Yes, I need to go on a diet, I'm being called chubby by other dolphins, and don't call me surely or Freddy, my name is Gustav Lindberg the 13th
Talking shop with George.
George used to spend a lot of his time stood on the pier, that is how I met him, trying to take the perfect photo. If only Freddy had been a bit closer he said unsatisfied of this great one. When I asked him if he would be a witness for me, he paused for a second and said "aye lad, I'll be there" that was the measure of the man.
