Title: Find the hidden stations on the FGW network? Post by: ReWind on May 03, 2010, 21:05:17 1) I have a bad ear. Did cotton buds work, no they didn't.
2) I listened to my instructor, get in the boat, row, bridge ahead, duck and stop. I hate boats now! 3) I received a birthday card, from everyone. I was so pleased. 4) It's christmas eve, shame I have no presents. Perhaps Santa will come though. 5) I brought a brand new portable television yesterday, to watch on my train journey today. 6) I waited and waited for my mail. I was here for days on end but it never came. 7) Detox for days hurts, I wouldn't recommend it. 8) I had chicken yesterday, ate it all. 9) I've rang customer services, I was given a free first class ticket. 10) I used the hovercraft to get to the Isle of Wight. Find the hidden stations served by FGW in the text. Max 2 answers, give others a chance!! :D ;) Title: Re: Find the hidden stations on the FGW network?
