He's also just a really lovely bloke and has become a close personal friend who would do just about anything for me no matter how...

It's Rosie. Or Rose Tinted Spectrum to his close friends and family. Or Dave if he's talking to an officer of the law.

So settle in and listen to two old chums having a chat about the things they love. Adam Co...
