"Now you have reached the twilight years, you've become a burden to everyone" My reply to that is usually :- "You've yet to prove that you can breathe in and out for the same time that I have" I've got to get to at least 120 to get all the money back that they've taken off me over the yea...

I remember going out of the house on the 15th April 1976 and thinking..... it's too HOT for a jacket, so I took it off and took it back into the house. Never wore a jacket after that until about October :shock: Very hot summer :wink:

I find it amazing that the BBC camera team couldn't find a rainshield/umbrella for their camera lenses. Considering a goodly number were long focus shots a bit of plastic drainpipe would almost have done the trick Bernard

Just had to sit on the bus with the sun burning into the back of my neck whilst all the traffic was stopped so a fat guy in a white tracksuit (not a good look) could run past with an oversized lighter. Seemed to be more of a free advertising event for Coke and Samsung with the entire police forc...

Cutting trees down is fun, it's chopping the logs up and storing them for next winter that's the hard part. Spent a good evening in Saltaire (a world heritage site) with 'spider and his camera club. Highlight of the evening was trying to get good photo's of the snails(!?). The light was poor a...

If the wind is anything like it is here it will certainly be bracing in Brid. Have a great time. His nibs is coming back from the UK today after a short break catching up with former colleagues, reminiscing over the good old days of UK satellite work. He needed the break too.

Wow, this thread has been very quiet. Where is everyone? Fascinating yesterday to see people taking pictures of the Mona Lisa. Why would you want to take a picture of the most famous painting in the world on an iPhone? So instead I tried to take a few pictures of people taking pictures which...
