I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very short career, skills that make me a know it all🐎
Devasting news for Michael O'Sullivans family and friends that Michael sadly passed away last night. Michael's absence will be noticed by all who knew him and by many more who felt they knew him. Here's a thread dedicated to the man and his talents.
