Re: My exotic life on the road
That's just depressing.

I like the phone shot though.

Re: My exotic life on the road
That was taken after the tun around that Saturday night before the contest closed. Time on TV is 00:45am......It pretty much sums up what alot of folk whose business involves travel see. I've started a gallery on pbase about what I see on my travels. Hopefully it wont all be so depressing....I do like the phone shot myself.....

edit: Express by Holiday Inn....my budget hotel of choice in case anyone else fancies a life as a road warrior

Re: My exotic life on the road
Try this for a change...

Here's the room/office I used for a few days last October. It was very different from the usual boring hotel experience...

Re: My exotic life on the road
That'a an awesome home cinema Gordon. Did you do a professional calibration on that TV? The concealed 13.3 speakers and amps is also a nice touch.

Re: My exotic life on the road
I've seen that film your watching. It's a good 'un that. Good taste.
