Thank you for the replies and kind words of support, I'm still in shock to be honest and don't know which way to go. As a method of calming, I do listen to a lot of music, be it CD, radio or Youtube, the physical side of my life will be the first to go, but, if my I can maintain some form of...

Good afternoon all, my apologies for not being online for so long, but I've been in a rather dark place, over the years, I've taken a lot of hits, phsically and mentally, I lost my right leg when aged just 25, more things happened as I got older, 11 years ago, I had a fall at work, wrecking my...

Sky have announced they are going to be showing a nude origami programme, but, it'll be "paperview"!

I could Rick, my tired brain hadn't considered that. Thank you.

My contract with Vodafone is about finished and on Monday gone, they called with a deal to offer in order for me to stay, (currently at 10 years). They've offered me a new phone and better package and to celebrate my 10 years, the whole 2 year deal is £30 per month, or, I can go sim only for...

I was mooching around on Youtube yesterday and discovered this video, I found it very interesting, informative and for me, essential. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFbatsu-o1Q&t=1749s

Well Mr Badger, I'll be making some PTN's, but probably not the others, I'm a North Country Spider man myself and make and sell a lot of "Partridge and" variants, my Partridge and Green with a copper rib is a well proven fly. I first tied in in 1987, but used a DFM floss, l make them in pink...

I picked a 3300 with the 18-55 lens last night, it's in fantastic condition and has less than 900 actuations, it came with an upgraded double charger, 2 new batteries, bag and a few other bits. I have a few appoinments today, so I'll not have chance to get out and take any pictures. I've...

Well Chris, you may not have tied the flies, but your photographs are stunning.

Thanks Nod, well, this might seem a daft question, but what is a bridge camera?

I'm in County Durham James, so 200 miles away, door to door, I don't fancy driving that far, but thanks for the suggestion. Alan.

Thank you all again, MPB have a Canon 600D body in what they call "like new" for £264 and an "excellent Canon EF-S 18-55 f/3..5-5.6 IS ll for £64, or, should I choose a 3rd party lens? I do spend a fair bit of time out doors and given my budget of £500, I'll have £170 for a zoom lens like a...

Thank you for the replies so far, as Tringa asked, "would a lighter camera be more suitable?", probably, I'm very open to suggestions. As Nikon offer a 2 year warranty, should I hedge my bets and buy new or go with my gut instinct and buy something from CEX and get something better, but still...

Hello all, my first official post, so please be gentle with me. I'm celebrating a year into my new life, (long story) and for a month now, I've been mulling over the different camera's available, megapixels, lenses, you name it, my head it spinning. Now, I have some friends who are avid and...

Hi all, I'm Alan, a 35mm camera user from many years ago, but a house, 2 kids and a blonde with no compunction to curb her spending came along, so all hobbies were put on the back burner. Now the kids are up, the blonde has been relegated to the rubbish bin and replaced with another, who doesn't...
