To find something and keep it is an offence, Theft By Finding. Ergo anyone finding something and keeping it has committed a criminal act

So Tesco are which network in disguise?

Oh the AW Lowe-pro models come with a waterproof cover (bit like a built in raincoat) that you put over the bag in times of heavy downpour, sounds daft but very useful

I've got a couple of Lowe-pro bags and a crumpler bag but none of the ones you mention but they are all very well made. Depends on the specs I suppose but in terms of quality both makes are very good

I've locked this for no other reason than we have a more current poll on the go and the whole point is a snapshot at various times through the season

Now I've seen the Fall many a time, even tour managing a support band for a whole UK tour once, apart from the Bunnymen I've probably seen them more times than any other band. Last time I saw them, M.E.S was not exactly on form, the gig was a bit of a let down and I came to the conclusion I'd probably rather have gone to see Jah Wobble instead. I only found out the other day that the Fall were playing in Liverpool on Sunday and I thought, meh can't be arsed, but then an old old mate posted on acebook that he was going so on the spur of the moment, Sunday afternoon I decided to go and watch M.E.S. for yet another time but more for the sake of catching up with a old mate than the anticipation of seeing a good gig. Now the gig itself was better than last time, much better but probably not as good as the time before but as the set was drawing to an end I was happy to have been there and out for the night but it was nothing special then bugger me, all four of us suddenly looked at each other in disbelief.................were we hearing what we thought we were? We bloody well were, they were playing Psykick Dance Hall a song which is 30 years old, I've not known the Fall do a song from that early in their career since the early 80's - so glad I went just for that one song, made a good night into one I'll remember for years to come

Apparently full fat milk isn't very good for making cappuccino's and lattes as the fat content being above 3% doesnt make for good frothing I learned this today because I bought myself a fab Dualit 15 bar pressure Coffee machine because the tassimo machine had broken so I thought I'd turn the coffee making machine up a notch and have been playing Bicks the Barrista since I got home

Yeah but the Fall played Psychic Dancehall

Having just come home from a gig by the Fall I'm still humming Psychik Dancehall And if anyone doesnt understand the significance of it and how monumental that is, because they played it, ho hum, get with the beat (sorry Pete it really was a last minute thing)

Bottle of red tonight a 2006 Bordeaux Lurton La Chapelle, quite pleasant realy, on offer in M&S

Been in the MW2 topic in Gaming section for a god few days now

Another one, still the new handbag camera, propped up on an angle by an iphone and using the two second timer to reduce vibration

I certainly couldn't let it be

Thanks Peter, the First one was one of the very first shots I took with the new camera and I wouldn't have seen it if the lift in the car park had been working. That in itself was a lesson and I'm not sure the Paper Girl one would have been possible with my DSLRs because they are too obvious, people spot them straight away and act accordingly, the girl here had no idea she was being photographed which in its own way makes the shot, as its natural Not surprised people are turning their backs on the bloke in yours though, look at the crap band on the cover ;-)

I've never been stopped yet on the section 44 shit either, gawd knows what'll happen if (or is that when) it happens because I'm no respecter of authority at the best of times and a stroppy git when it takes me too

Site looks good and is a nice idea, sites like that get better when they grow in size. If you intend to improve it at that rate in no time it should become popular with the right exposure

Its about time I uploaded some more stuff to here, I've bought myself a new camera but this time its not bigger and better, its a small panasonic TZ7 So I can have a camera with me 24 hours a day, really enjoying using it and the challenges it presents

No one has an opinion? Heading down to meet them tomorrow.. I simply have no idea (thanks for the compliment, missed your post until you just posted again). Firstly I think the Damian is possibly your man being the pro but I'm not sure he has much experience of working with photo agencies either. A lot of it is personal to you and just remember a good deal is one where both sides feel they are getting what they want from the situation, it is also hard because you live in a different country and prices may be different. Thing is, those shots are stunning and beautiful

Villa Vipers if those are yours they are great like them all except the first one (because it probably needs a bit of context for me to understand it) but apart from that great shots

I take it all these people that don't like Everton because "their fans whinge" hate every club in the football league including Villa. ITS. WHAT. FANS. DO.

No but came close a few times in my youth, mainly for flyposting. Had to go down station once as a witness / to eliminate myself from enqyuiries as someone got beaten up at a concert I was working at and they interviewed everyone with blonde hair who was working that night, shame they ignored the looked like a biker bit as I clearly didnt...........

You'll know you have to pay because they'll ask for your card details, its not something O2 charge you for, its something the ISP you are using at the time will charge you for. Just go to Starbucks, its free ;-)
