Who matches our made up description and there's even the posties DNA on the jumper. I mean, that’s impossible! Surely?! JOHN TATE: So if me and Richard are mates now, which we are and all that silliness is over, which it is, and you’re on someone’s side, Danny, then you’re on your own side, which is very, well, to be honest, very silly and dangerous.
