Sorry Davex first time hearing that one.

I'd be interested, but it will depend on time and place for me. If I can get a cheap deal then I am up for it. But as I said in TT's squinty bridge thread I can't risk getting stranded by the weather.

Time it right and I'll try and make it too - DFDS to Newcastle and then up north, should be doable. But not midwinter. I can't risk getting stranded by weather.

They don't have guides in the Netherlands, only Scouts. They do have all girl scout troops though. And a right pia they are too generally.

I got thrown out of the Brownies I am pleased to say.

My husband is a Queen's Scout, and two of my sons were water scouts, and also ran the group - one as Akela, and now as chairman, the other just as a helper. The water scouts saved my middle son, who was on the road to a bad end when some friends managed to get him to go along.

He made friends for life there, and they are still a tight group. In fact he met his wife there.


We made twisties every year at ponycamp, on the last day when we held a big bbq for kids, parents and helpers.

Irfanview also does lossless cropping of jpegs. But Coker is using a .PSD template so it is easier for him to do it all in PSE.

Maintaining aspect ratio works in this case btw.

Forgot about the fireworks.

I hope there'll be some good photos tomorrow, and more importantly everyone keeps safe.

Firework hell will begin here soon. the first ones have already been heard but it gets serious after 5 November - people smuggle them back from the UK.

An incredible number of illegal fireworks have already been found. Stored in garages, sheds even houses, it doesn't bear thinking about. Apparently most people have forgotten Enschede already

Yay! Hulkenberg is on pole .


Glad the trout was a success TT. We had home made fish and chips with a tin of mushy peas.

My reward for serving up such northern delights? Him watching the rugby - as he has been all afternoon . No chance of watching anything else this evening. When the rugby is over there's Merlin - which he loves and I hate .

It's a neat idea isn't it .

I assume it is the same as in PSE 6.
Open the photo in editor. Duplicate it and close the original.
Go to the image drop down menu. Click on resize - Image size ( or just do Alt+Ctrl+I ).

Make sure the unit is set to inches and fill in the size you need.

Then tile that with the template and drag the picture into the blue area. Once the picture is in place delete the blue layer.

In East Yorkshire, (Hull), there is also Hilton Photographic. A superb shop for customer service. The guys are extremely helpful, if they dont have exactly what you are looking for then they will research/find/price for you and will endeavour to be competitive if at all possible.

Thanks for that Paul. I've made a note for when I come to Hull on the ferry.

I would support our local shops, but as I said one laughed at me for having Pentax, literally laughed at me and advised me to but Canon or Nikon - and that an official Pentax dealer , and the other Pentax dealer is just so expensive I'd be a fool to buy from him.

I go to a couple of stores which like SRS sell online but also have a shop. Luckily most are within about an hour's drive from me.
