So eBay have gotten rid of seller fees for most listings. I think it's a brilliant move that'll boost the second hand market. Also it's a response to apps like Vinted that didn't charge fees to use. Hopefully we'll benefit from the move. I know I'll get a bit more for each item if I keep curre...

My 12 year old grandson was with me on a family trip to Portland, Dorset, while staying with us after Christmas. At the highest point on the island he started taking phone photos of the distant coast then tried to use a map on the phone to work out what was where in the photos. Spotting an opportuni...

Many thanks, HG. Yes, I read through the thread and understand its purpose. My comment was very much tongue in cheek. Every forum needs a place where it is allowed to swear in church, so I shall take the opportunity to mention that I once owned a Canon.:shock: Meanwhile, back on topic, have you s...

It's going to be a long, noisy night :sad:. Next door's electricity supply cable failed last night, causing a power cut for about a third of the homes on the local circuit including mine (3 phase circuit, one phase lost, each phase feeds 1/3 of homes). All except next door got power back within a fe...

Got back from 3 days camping and walking on the Yorkshire coast yesterday.. ..turned on the tele for the news and was appalled. What are the british public thinking of? It was enough to drive me to drink, although I didn't actually drive, just walked 3 metres and opened a bottle of Saltair...

Well, that's me sorted and off to Bala for a couple of days enjoying the welsh scenery and narrow gauge railways. I may post an image or two when I get back, they'll be on this thread as I'll be using a phone/ Nikon pocket cam. HG

Nothing pointless happening for 3 months?? Come on folks, your lives have become too purposeful :tease: . There were lots of small apples on the young apple trees this year. Too small to sink your teeth into but didn't want to waste them. Then I found some ancient apple and cinnamon hot cross bun...

Odd, my packs (4s, 6s & 10s) of Guinness, Staropramen etc all come in cardboard. Loose bottles etc don't but I generally by packs. Back in the day referred to as "slabs". No market trips today

Well that's xmas over It's not over until the tree is down and that won't happen at Lubby Mansions until next weekend :grin: . After all the time and effort involved in putting it up and making it look just like last year's tree (and the year before's and the year before that and...), it's staying u...

When will banks learn... A text arrived, supposedly from Barclays, saying a dodgy transaction was on my Visa card. Could be anybody, but turns out they do this, all you do is answer yes or no.. ..I answered no and almost immediately a call from a number my phone said was a possible scam numbe...

I too have had this call from my bank and then called them back from my mobile. It was late in the evening so my expectation was that the call handler would not be in the UK. I was more concerned about the fake transaction than the accent and was grateful that the bank's system had called it out...

The short answer is, ALWAYS politely to decline the call and ring them back on a known, clean number. As to accents. the Leeds based 1st Direct call center will, 95% of the time, produce someone with the thickest of Glaswegian accents. Geordie or Glasgie are equally impenetrable!

What a great week, sun's been out and it's not been too cold. Just back from a break at Barnard Castle where we camped for 3 nights, walked around 28 miles and just lay back. Hope all's well out there.

How do you avoid the slow worms with the garden fork? They are ...... sort of, slow. They're not so slow when nicely warmed up in a good compost heap :lol:. I've sometimes tried to photograph one but it's slithered through a tiny hole before I can get the blighter in focus :angry:. Steve

Margaret Moth
Just noticed a small announcement about the death of Margaret Moth. For those of you who never heard of her, Margaret Moth (August 21, 1951 – March 21, 2010) was a photojournalist who worked for CNN. Born in New Zealand she moved to the United States and worked for CNN from 1990 until 2006/2007. ...

Important Firefox update
I had lots of problems with Firefox and stopped using it after persisting for nearly a year. I tried Google Chrome but it's rubbish. Whatever you say about Bill Gates, at least his product works! Don't go there! I use FF and am now using WIN7, which has crashed completely once needing a full rei...

So what will I miss?
Easyjet hand luggage can be as heavy as you like, as long as you can lift it into the overhead lockers, and it fits in their frame. Wheely bags tend to attract more attention than shoulder bags or back packs. Provided you aren't leaning to far to port they won't worry :wink:. I can lift my fully...

So what will I miss?
Thanks for all the replies and input everyone. Why the tripod - I'm on a "best image quality I can possibly get" phase at the moment, hence the limited primes, plus I hope to do some low light work, so it comes. Is it a photo holiday or a holiday on which I take pics? Depends if you ask me or my...
