Re: Saddo Boxing Awards 2013
Welcome to the Saddo Boxing Awards 2013!!!
Every year we hold these ever so prestigious awards in a nice, exotic location. This year, we were due to hold the awards in Macau, China. However, due to unforeseen circumstances ( @Saddo being too cheap to put his hand in his pocket and pay for it), we've had to switch location to:
A grotty coucil estate in Peckham, England
