Met little initial resistance, but maintaining a permanent beachhead proved problematic. Eventually made a strategic withdrawal to the hard rock casino

Lacour's edgy dark soul shite has got tiring as of late..we've all been there at times, I spent most of my thirties there. But I agree with him here and my Grandad/father faught in the Pacific.
