My Grandad took me to my first football match at the tender age of 5.

Chelsea vs Arsenal.

He'd moved over here from Ireland in the 50's and followed The Woolich
Arsenal. It is family Legend what
happened that fateful day. He was all coloured up. He said "you should
pick your colours with care son" To which I replied, "I like the Blue
ones Granddad!" This apparently had half of the terrace in stitches.
This is when The Blue Boy was born.

I should add the things I hate;

Racism.
Bullying.
Reality TV.
Celebrity culture.
The Daily Mail.
CAMRA Members.
Escalator mentality. Get on. Stop dead. Wtf?
Management speak. It's not "fit for purpose"
Contacts that keep "bumping" their pictures.
Lazy bastards.
Flat-pack instruction hell. "This product has been designed to be put together by two people". Why? Is this to make sure there's an argument? Obviously written by a divorce lawyer. Bastard.

And the things I love;

The PEOple I've met from flickr (You know who you are)
Pointing my cameras at stuff.
Frogs. Frogs are proper top.
Peob bear
Beer
Spiders and Bugs. What's not to like?

My "most interesting" is a bit of a joke really but here you go;

Edit; The picture of Tom and myself. The fact that this is here at all makes me feel quite proud of the flickr members who paid him tribute when he passed away.

See what I mean?

Finally, I'll just say that, for me, Flickr is reciprocal. So please don't add me as a contact if all you want is bloody comments with nothing in return. 'k?

Also, I have an angry little alter ego who is obsessed with umbrellas. Blooo!

You can add me as a friend on facebook if you like. Just let me know where you came from, so to speak.

I've also got a few vids up on YouTube if you fancy a look.

And I'm active on the forums (as TBB) at Cambridge in Colour. One of the best places on the net for info on photography. If you know of anywhere better, let me know.

    "TBB is one of the guys whom you either hate or love from the beginning of the acquaintance.

    If you like to be constantly called "fat bastard", have the curses all over your stream and have a wonderful friend — this is the person for you!

    He may seem rude from time to time but he is a big kitten lover, I swear!"

    "I know you won't want anything making you feel nauseous - you may put up that bold brash exterior but I know, and your mates know, that deep down you're just a big softy!
    You have been nothing but a good friend to me since we became mates on here - I like knowing that what you say is what you mean. There's no 'side' to you - you're straight-talking, have a great sense of humour and take some excellent photos too!
    Love you Bloo!"
