@BazzaGray6

Hello Barry,

I am doing a private blog for my university as its part of an assignment. I was wondering if I would be able to ask you a couple of questions in DM’s & if you could possibly answer them if it’s not too much trouble?

Thanks,
Adam.

Hello Rory,

I was hoping I’d be able to DM you about an assignment for my university? It’s simply just to ask you a few questions (like an interview) & to get you to answer them if it wouldn’t be too much trouble?

Thanks,
Adam
