Half term this week so went with the grandkids to the zoo. Not a single usable photo. Not one. I don't expect a high hit rate on trips like that but not a single one :shock:. My hit rate has been dropping like a stone, so even when I can be bothered to pick up the camera I have little to show for ...

I think if you get left hand lay rope the problen isn't so bad, I seem to recall it was used for lifeboat falls. With a 3 fold purchase there is a way to reeve the rope so it minimises the twist but it is the nature of rope to twist itself into a "thicker" rope. If its not too high a lift can you no...

Bernard, could you not, when the ropes/pullies are not loaded/in use, put a temporary load on, a small sandbag perhaps? That way, the system will always "think" it's loaded...... Roger. I'll try that. The system is for hauling timber into my workshop loft. Max load 30-40lb, but more than I fanc...

If I get someone who wants to waste my time I ask them to hand on a bit, "I've got something on the stove", "Its snowing here, (amazing the Indians don't cotton on to that in July) and I need to get logs in" then I put the phone to one side and go back to what I was doing. After 30mins they've us...

So I assume this is so you can lift the bed, sweep all your rubbish under it then lower it back down.:P

Ah back to the bad old days. At least they aren't only giving you five minute snippets when the cricket is on too, like the Beeb used to. Did I read that Martin Brundle has left the team too? I'm hoping Dutch TV are still going to show it in full, even if I have to put up with appalling commen...

I noticed this morning a rose and rhododendrons in bloom but no daffodils yet and heard and saw a woodpecker for the first time in my life. I didn't know we had them in round here. No roses or rhodies here yet. Everything was knocked back by our very cold spell at the beginning of the month. The...

Back to pointlessness please Politics is pointless It usually doesn't solve anything, they all rely on talk, talk, talk, rather than do, do, do. They expect someone else to clear up the mess and then take credit for it. Bernard

Gwyn - would you ask him do I need to buy a Panasonic TV dongle for my Viera Plasma or will any tv one work ? The prices range from £70 down to £13 on Amazon and I don`t need it that much,but it would be nice to stream Lovefilm movies straight to the set. Thanks Tony If it's a USB then you sho...

That's very cynical George.:shock: The old Sigma lenses were superb for those misty out of focus shots of wistfull young ladies gazing into the distance. Where as today's examples give resolution so sharp you can cut steak with them. :wink:

A used Zenit was my first SLR in the mid 80's, it jammed twice so went into a skip. Didn't buy another camera until about 1989, brand new SFXn and two sigma AF lenses 28-70mm and 70-210mm, all hardly used and sold at a give away on ebay last year :cry: I had the same pair of lenses at that time. If...

Do you have a deer farm in your back garden Tony? You seem to eat a lot of Venison:lol:. I wish I had a good supply of it! We are exhausted after a very long day here in Oslo, and just managed to stagger a couple of blocks to a Pakistani restaurant. Excellent meal, excellent service and best of a...
