Re: CJ's home set up

Thanks for the comments

Having my own place is nice, but it was sooo hard to buy it at the time, as i was 19, and my wife to be was 18.

Repton, yes it has slowed my buying rate down.

Cheers mate.

Yeah, it's an awsome site.

As for buying, i was lucky to buy off plan (before it was built) so got it cheaper than if it was already built.

Nice shots and setup.

Are you a villain from Batman & Robin by any chance? It must be murder trying to keep the coffee off the floor

Why not get them to put it at the rear of the house? That's where mine is.

I am also getting a Blu-ray player: a Sharp.
