That's the name :o. Can't beat a space and a quarter ;), tho' actually in that instance it was more down to the turning circle and cars up my arse.

Various ClioSport stickers including a CS Trax sticker and your freaking forum name on it. However, I'm old and can't f**king remember what that name was ... began with a B! I was in the Vee but must have left the shop before you did and was in a rush so couldn't hang around until you came out.

Insurance premiums are definitely up! Clearly for me age isn't an issue and no circumstances have changed, but it was still up this year when went to do the two car policy for the Vee and missus' C4 Picasso. After messing around a bit, I got it down but was still £700-something in toto vs...

Had my MOT on Friday but failed owing to me being a dick and not having checked my front tyres closely enough. Knew they were approaching the limit, but one was just beyond it when I properly checked them an hour before the test ... doh! Hence was down there again this morning getting a pair of...

Indeed I did see you, and tried to wave back (but with my window closed I doubt you could see me :o). Good to see you dude, albeit across the traffic lights heading in different directions! Was on my way home after sorting my MOT at Sewards, where again Mr Mardlin was heading in for parts...

Personally I found the 27" simply too big ... great in an office environment for designers, but a wee bit too imposing for sensible home use. However, the 21.5" I bought by kids fits very nicely in the corner of one of their "den" room. It's awesome, but I was already a Mac convert being a...

Yeah ... that's an interesting question. Assuming they didn't sell the land before they went into administration, I assume that it's still an asset for the administrators to deal with!? I don't know why planning was rejected because it's surrounded by houses already, including an 80s/90s estate...

Ahhh ... not all ISO 3200, only in the darker spaces where the shutter speed was edging beyond 0.5s+. Mostly set on auto which will run up to ISO 1600. No noise reduction beyond the in camera set to the standard level. So for example this one ... ... was shot at ISO 3200 at -4/3eV giving a...

Well others seemed to have set the lead by posting their exploring shots, and given the amount I explore I'm clearly going to follow suit ;) so ... Dairy Farmers of Britain (DFOB), was an agricultural cooperative that used to supply over one billion litres of milk a year, collected from its...

I bought a new exploring camera bag last month. It's a Kata 3N1-10 with the extra tripod holder. Takes my 500D, 18-55, 55-250, nifty 50, various torches, kevlar gloves, first aid kit, all important baby wipes and anti-bac, few other bits and pieces, but not much else, which is fine since I...

But iWork is dead cheap and soooooooo nice compared with Office and Open Office!

Sometimes when the next model comes out you're kicking yourself, but I must admit that the differences between my 500D and the 550D look marginal to me. The video frame rates are up (one of the reasons why I bought the 500D), but 720p at 30fps produces monster videos as it is, let alone running...

Some nice shots! What was the location? My view on graf varies a lot depending upon the location! I've explored places where it's an absolute crime, but others (mostly sit industrial places) where it adds a bit of colour! There was a big spate of new pieces at Hellingly Hospital last year...

Haha ... tho' you stole my punch line :( :rasp:. Fingers crossed for a positive outcome to your car trials!

I try my best ... and darn I'm good at it ;).
