Did you run around in circles shouting "weeeeeeeee!!!" ? That's what I would have done :oops:

Can we expect to see it on the "for sale" section soon? :lol:

That's one of the worst-written articles I've ever read, had to re-read every paragraph to work out what was going on. Weird use of slang
"sparked-out party", wordy as hell sentences... :?



OH! it's not a newspaper, it's The Register!


I don't read that website, it gives me a headache. :D

Installed a satellite dish today. Line of sight and dead reckoning gave me 50% on signal strength and quality, which rose to 90% + 80% with a little tweeking.

It was an xmas present for the parents. They've always had a bad terrestrial signal and things didn't improve when the old analogue was switched off and the digital boosted. Now I just need to find a reasonable tv with freesat built-in. Although they would no doubt be very happy with the SD signal quality they have for more than a decade. Luddites. :lol:

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I'm photographing the local burlesque night on Saturday, where the lovely Beatrix von Bourbon will be performing.
And I've got a +1 if anyone's in the area.
:D

Absolutely buzzing after tonight.
Provisionally booked a shoot with the lovely Lola Pops next time she's in the bay, and had a good old chin wag with the even more divine in real life Beatrix Von Bourbon.
Wow. What a woman.

You can take a quick look at the Random Photo Thread.
Hopefully I'll have some uploaded shortly once the client's happy. Shhh...

Client still hasn't uploaded their selects - once they do I'll supply some more. :(

Anyway, just been booked to photograph an event on Wednesday night. Just shy of £20 an hour for the evening. :)

I have to say a well done to Amazon.

Placed three different orders over the space of a couple of days. Amazon shipped them all together in a single box and HDNL even managed not to leave the package propped up against the front door (in full view of the street which is what they've done in the past) while I was out.

Looks like someone is actually putting a bit of thought into reducng packaging and delivery mileage as well.
