My blu-ray collection so far…

Below is a photo of my blu-ray collection. I know it’s not the biggest one in the world. It’s what you do with it that counts. Oh wait, sorry I am speaking about something else there. Right back to my blu-ray collection. I have only had a blu-ray player since Christmas 2010. So I think 15 of them is a very good start.

Best ever photo of Theo Bos

I am sure that most you of will know that the Tour of Britain is on this week. So I was just looking around on flickr to see what photos I could find. Found this photo of Theo Bos. Think it’s the best photo I have ever found of him. Let’s just say it made me very, very happy indeed :).
