ASK WILLY
Hi. I'm Willy. I've had a few girlfriends but I don't brag about it. I used to, mind, but I grew out of it. My wee brother Ricky is a couple of years younger than me, and he says he's getting it even though he isn't. I can remember it was tough at his age. Ricky and his mates sometimes ask me stuff like this.
