Number one for me.
Number 2 doesn't do anything for me, though I can't say why I think I'd like to see the second stem in focus or cropped out.

It appears everyone has had snow except for us. Dying to get the sleds out for the kids. Bought them 3 years ago and they've never been used. All we got this week was a bit of rain

I fully agree that we got through the 70s and 80s without all of this paranoia.

I didn't see the article you mentioned, but if it wsa an attempt to justify stopping photography, surely they shot themselves in the foot!? He was using what every sane thinking person would expect, a concealable mobile phone. Not an SLR with a long lens on a large tripod etc, etc.

As for security cameras not being seen these days. You want to know about the discreet / covert ones. My job is CCTV / security. Some of the cameras we fit are tiny, but give amazing picture quality.

It's worse over here. There's a whole generation of people who use Celcius when it's cold but Fahrenheit when it's hot!! Like "Oh it was in the 80s today, lovely and toasty, but I hear it'll be minus 1 tonight!" I kid you not.
And not just temperature.
My wife and I went to the same school. Were even in the same class for some subjects. She only ever uses feet and inches. Pounds and ounces etc.
I only ever use meters. Grams and kilograms. I even have my sat nav set to metric.

We are a confused generation. No, strike that, a confused population. As my daughter will tell you she is 5 feet tall, but ask for a meter of ribbon.

AARGH [rant]The music everywhere is driving me to distraction. All the sterile nicely plastic packaged american christmas themed rubbish - on tv, inthe shops everywhere. And worst of all I realised why they are playing this drivel. It's because there are no religious references in it. Don't get me wrong, I'm agnostic, but Christmas is not - the clue's in the name.[/rant]

Oggy,I agree with (almost) every word of your rant
But don't get me started on that subject.

I really like that! It looks like a treble cleff, was that intentional?

Maybe not to everyone's taste, but here's one I discovered this week.
It is an interesting take on what was already a favourite carol of mine.

I was thinking along exactly the same lines as I was reading through this.

Pay me £100 a day...I still wouldn't be a pro.
