When they do arrive, however, they are always worth getting on. Click HERE or the picture above of a certain iconic cop waiting on the bus to read this post Ross McG has done for the good guys at the UK’s biggest movie blog, HeyUGuys.co.uk. So get over there if you can and comment and have a good delve round their site, it’s ace. Continue reading
