I'm back from Spain and will catch up, hopefully, tomorrow.

Night all.

Don't get me going about selfish bloody minded dog owners!!!


Just because a sign isn't at that particular spot is no defence for breaking ANY law.

Up holding the laws is a serious job and one best handled in a calm manner, sometimes people just don't know!

But when pit bulls are taken into play areas to fight each other (yes I have seen the blood) then their owners should be put in a deep dark hole and forgotten about.

Rant over.

The RIPA act is a useful tool, but not for tracking doggy foulers, school applications and any of the many other uses idiot managers seem to think it's for.

I have a video on my works vehicle, it gets used to deter vandals and wrong doers. In only one case in six years has the footage been used by the police, that was to identify a mugger (who was caught and prosecuted)

When used correctly any camera can be a valuable tool for enforcement but too many councils think they have the right to snoop on our everyday life.

You have adverts?

FF is the BBC of browsers, no ads just quality content.

For me B&W is a film format, all these pics are from film or glass slides. I struggle with the sharpness and clarity digital files produce

Wonderful collection and so revealing as to the way things have changed over the last hundred years or so, good find.

Just found an MG as well.

Choices choices!

Oh yes, the delay is the result of a short break in Spain.

Council owned parks are held in trust for the community and are 'technically' private land.

Members of the public are 'invited' in to use the facilities and as such are guests of the council.

Any council that spurts bulls*** like this wants stuffing with something sharp and painful!

I work for Bradford council, in the parks and as such meet many photographers who panic at the sight of me approaching.

When I advise them that there's a really good view, tree, building and talk cameras they leave feeling happy and comfortable in the park.

Only once in 23 years have I had to remove a photographer from a park, he was on the sex offenders list and had travelled from York hopping to avoid the police, he didn't expect getting caught.

Come to Bradford OUR parks are there for everybody.

Just paid for a black MG, off to Spain now!

Thanks for the link, i'll investigate more when I get back from, you guessed it, Spain!

It should be but I'll miss her around the house getting in the way and helping out.

Still her brother will be home, he's quit uni as his course wasn't going the way he hoped and he didn't see the point in getting into more student debt. The good thing about him is he's eaither in his room or out with freinds.

Taxi's booked for 7.30 in the morning, taking us to the airport for our 9.00 flight to Barcelona, I can't wait!

According to 'net rumours both K-5 and Kr have proper view finders, there's a third EVIL body in the pipe line as well.

Pentax badged NX?
