we share.

are NOT boring Club. He says you don't have to have a fancy name
to have a big adventure - just because you sound like a NOBODY you
might be a SOMEBODY. Granddad says if you meet somebody called
John Smith, he might have this BIG secret too.
I joined the John Smith's are NOT boring Club on my last birthday,
and since then I've been on all kinds of incredible escapades.
