No preferences, I've found unbranded to be very unreliable. Do you
want all eight?

I'm not coming to the curry night, it's the GF's birthday on Friday.
If you are passing Handsworth anytime you could drop them through the

Let me know if you're interested and I'll send you my address. You
drop them off, I'll send them back, or meet you somewhere.
