I'll have you know that my avatar was shot by Mr Paul Jones, a leading glamour photographer from the North West of England.

Surely you can tell that?
You got a man of that standing in to shoot your avatar? Now that's what I call style.

Gwyn - what you say about Hengelo worries me. I think I am about to be busy.

Not really - the council obviously doesn't want men taking piccies of kids in the park, hence the no. Good thing too imo. I'm sure that if he makes it obvious his pics are of flowers they'd say fine.
I hope that is a bit "tongue in cheek" Nass.

The effect of of this would be to reverse one of the main tenets of British law, namely that you are innocent until proved otherwise.

To put it another way, if you have male genitalia, then you should be treated as a rapist.

Just a thought.

I suspect that as it was produced in Germany, it may be computer generated after an initial X ray image?

Agreed. There aren't that many X-ray machines that big.

However, as over exposures go...

I have to confess there are times when I am a bear.

Knowing sony (as I do, having worked for them) I'm not surprised the mirror doesn't work.

I would like to claim some points for that one. When I first met Mrs Oggy in Saudi Arabia, I was heavily into diving. She on the other hand would take a shower because a bath was too deep. She loved pictures of the brightly coloured fish, but would not even paddle in the sea. Over a period I got her into the swimming pool and persuaded her to put her face under the water while standing up. She had great difficulty with a mask and snorkel but we had a bit of a breakthrough when it struck me that as she wore glasses, she needed an optically corrected mask. After that she took to snorkelling and as there was so much to see I think it took her mind off being afraid. Then we went back into the pool and into Scuba. There was no way that she would have managed to do the drills to pass the course, but I reckoned that if we kept shallow, if all went pear-shaped I could simply drag her to the surface. In the end, with about three months before we went home, we spent just short of 1 hour paddling along the reef. Only about 4 metres deep, but so much to see, and for most of the dive there was a turtle swimming just in front of us almost as if he was showing us his reef.

It took eighteen months and there were times where I could have screamed but I knew that would be the end of it.

I rate that as one of my best achievements.

Maybe Flossie is not weather sealed. That fur doesn't look too waterproof.

Good work Mike.

What's that blue stuff behind the planes? We didn't get that at Shoreham.

The Pembroke is unusual.

Youtube is working in Oggy towers and it's far from pointless.

Tune.

This is what I am listening to at the minute. Oh yes.

(How did I miss it when it was released?
