I see some that believe valeg members are chavs from a thread about it. I would seriously reconsider that. But anyway im not here to argue or debate, im here to listen and watch. Yes i have many difficulties in my life, but i do well to get through them.

Im a young guy supporting Valeg and activities within it.

P.S The situation at Starcross has now been addressed to FGW due to saftey reasons, the lack of saftey notices and a serious problem with the yellow line of saftey. A FGW Driver i know, i had a chat with to address the situation.
