I have all three (or rather the Sigma 150-500) for wildlife and birds. I use the Sigma most, then the 300. I find I rarely use the 60-250.

Except an MOT.

We got significant snow last night and I have to say I am pleased at how Puma (195s) coped, although it did have a few outbreaks of enthusiasm.

I am pleased to say most people were driving sensibly except the muppets with fog lights on.

I seem to remember that some people have had problems like this in the past and the solution was ti right click on the icon and select "run as administrator".

Woohooo!

The snow has reached the South coast at last. Only a small amount, but I think this is just the start.

It was greedy of TT to hog it all.

Agreed. It would probably enhance their credibility as a vendor.

While I agree with you George, it is necessary for the OP to give some information about themselves. If they simply come up with "Hi I am new here" then it's a bit awkward.

Doesn't it give SDM functionality?

Aaaaaaaaah!

A very much better week at Oggy towers this week.

Regular readers will remember in last week's episode I had had a lot of trouble with my electrons and I was pretty much frazzled.

This week I have taken no nonsense off them and they have been much better behaved. All deadlines met, all targets exceeded, all pigs fed, watered and ready to fly.

I got the car ready for winter today - lots of tread on all tyres and all wheels where they are meant to be (4 on axles, one in the spare carrier and one in a skip as opposed to 4 on axles, 1 in the boot and one in the passenger footwell.

I then made the Christmas pud. Tradition is that I make the pudding and Mrs Oggy makes the cake. I really enjoyed doing it. The smell is so nice and I get to nibble nice things that were left over like nuts and maraschino cherries. I even treated myself to a glass of brandy while I was doing it. Morse was on in the background and the overall effect was to take me back about twenty years. Nice.

Only problem is that although I cannot remember calling in an airstrike against our kitchen, someone evidently did.

No snow here. I nipped into the local village earlier to get some stuff and one of the local charities had a bit of a bash going on. I think the chap playing the carols must have a bit deaf. That volume would have suited Motorhead, but not Silent Night.

Ah - back to the DC brushless motor.

Another name for them is heaters.
