Paul and Ian are legends. You have to be straight up and informed to survive. Brutal, tactile, brilliance.

[@robertmacnish7158]

😊

[@ripdbtpoo1441]

Your missive is gibberish. They are not legends, but real people. They are not brutal, they are witty. And as for "tactile", these days the word seems to mean "touch - activated", so what the devil do YOU mean ?
