Chuckled ( a little ) at Come Fly with Me last night with Walliams and Lucas - the best bit was Matt Lucas as an air steward on Our Lady Air serving "Italian" food for the benefit of the foreign passengers - starter was Spam and melon - couldn`t find any red wine so offered Ribena !!

Woke up to light snow cover this morning !! All but gone now though !

Four very chubby male Cyrils vying for the nut handout and looking decidedly damp !

I stand corrected - whilst historically it was the Olympic I am a believer in the conspiracy theory that the Titanic was in fact the damaged/repaired Olympic that was lost off the Grand Banks.

Age is a terrible thing Matt - although it could be the alcohol or the medication - lol

Tony

Just bumped into a very pleasant twitcher at Parkgate on Wirral - sadly a Canon user with a 400mm lens - no reaction when I said I shouldn`t be talking to him !
He was looking for raptors and showed me some brilliant shots of birds he had taken previously and also some stoats which had been shown on Autumnwatch !!
We felt a little underpowered with our 18-55s but he pointed us in the direction of owls ( must have heard us coming !! )and all we saw was a Jay and a Pheasant.
Lovely crisp afternoon with no wind and weak sunshine - and the ice cream cornet was fun too !

Tony

Crikey - Stop Press !!!

The Optio has been delivered to my sister in Jersey ALREADY !! Unheard of and quite astonishing - I was texted by her at 14-06 which is just over 24 hours after ordering online....................................I just wish I could afford a K5 !!!!!!!!!!!!

Many thanks guys and gals at SRS


Tony

I decided to convert my sister to Pentax and to that end ordered her an Optio I-10 for Christmas - ordered from SRS on 04/01/11 at midday and despatched to Jersey CI at about 4-00pm same day - simples - and very good service with an excellent price for the bundle....................these people are GOOD

Tony

I`ll have you know one of the galley crew that was lost on the Titanic was an AYLEN - oddly enough also the name of the Navy Commander who bumped into her as she was undergoing sea trials in the Solent !!!!!

Bl**dy dodgy lot us !!!!!

Run free mighty machine................................

The Santa Special at the Bluebell Railway E.Sussex on Christmas Eve.

Chilly overcast and calm here
