Last winter the roads in Bradford were evil.

All the flash BMWs and Mercs were stuck or sliding off the raod, the WRX things(all 4 wheel drive!) didn't even leave the garage!

My little Punto just chugged along as usual, it becomes a works vehicle in extreme conditions. I don't mind, the mileage claim helps pay the insurance.

Not raining here, at the moment!

My boots, jacket gloves etc. are still wet from yesterdays slight drizzle, sorry I mean heavy rain!

The boss (at work) has promised me new waterproofs, boy do I need them.

Ok back to ebay, why start an auction at 99p then slap a reserve on the item.

An AGFA I'm watching has gone over £8.00 and not reached the reserve!

Tight vendor or what?

As for Widiwotsit, well it's a laugh!

Bret might, he's using a hired 7D at the moment.

It might have gone back by the time the adaptor arrives though!

I won a Selfix 16-20 last night, for next to nothing!!

I'm impressed with my I10, the first proper shots are promising as 'Ghost Walk' in the gallery shows.

I never made Queen's Scout, too busy drinking and enjoying life to work hard and get the award, managed to get my Venture award though.

Ah, but when I was a scout girls weren't allowed to join, as they can now.

Shame realy, think of all the fun we young scouts missed¬

We had to put up with hill walking, potholing, rock climbing, canoeing....

My ex girl guide wife tells me a Finish twisty is called a damper on guide camps.

I'll stick to beer and wine, maybe a wee dram as well, oh and the G'n'T...

...did I miss anything?

I saw a demo using a Veolia(?) and polaeized glasses, impressive, but I wanted gold frames so didn't bother..

This is the first Bonfire night in decades we haven't had a fire of some sort or let off fireworks.

The kids are too old now and I couldn't be bothered.

Oh hang on, we have the stove lit and there's some chestnts roasting on top, that's close enough...

Bread maker's on at the moment doing a loaf for tommorrow.

Can we have a new section all for Tony so he can put up these fabuluos recipes?

He's so much better than most of the 'chefs' on TV, but Nigella's got better legs(so I'm Told!).

Adsvice please, I ordered some 120 films on ebay from Hong Kong, they haven't arrived after 4 weeks, the vendor is wanting me to pay for extra postage and he will send a fresh package. Is this a scam, do I open a dispute or just pay the extra £1.50?
