Title: Rip michael bond
Post by: George Carter on June 28, 2017, 06:25:06 pm

One of the greatest authors of our time has passed away in Michael bond.

If you dont know him he was the guy who wrote the paddington bear books. I remember getting his books regularly when not long after getting one of the first paddington bears that were made as well as replica shirts werent around in those days.  He was to my childhood what J K rowling is to the current generation now.

RIP Michael bond and paddington bear.

Iam sure that the paddington bears bear were first made by a small firm from pubcaster .

In fact if I was playing poker I go all in with me chips

I'd have thought it would be jars of marmalade and not honey being left
