BFM has big plans. Right? So have all the new companies. BFM is aready hyping what they can do. Good. Enough of the talk. Or enough of trash talk. Deliver, dont just talk. Talk is cheap. The public will give you a chance, or maybe two or three chances. You dont deliver, we the public will do the talking. In the meantime, get ready for the real action on Saturday, after three months of cold turkey. Good to be back after three agonising months of rehab.
