About 12 years ago I worked with a guy who had learning difficulties, and with this came a speech impediment. He couldn't say 'Tommo' (as everybody else called me at the time) so called me Tongo instead. He was a bit of a mascot, so everybody started to call me it and it just stuck. My real name is ...

Hi everyone. Been visiting this board ever since it went live - great job James - but not got round to posting. Until now. I'm Tongo, and I live in Yorkshire, England. Been a Tex fan since I first played PD and been hooked ever since. UaKM the book - some observations: I've just READ UaKM for the ve...
