I remember him from my youth. A magician.

But someone, maybe the Post Office overall, has pocketed all the extra cash. If nothing else, bonuses were no doubt paid on the marvellous profits.

So the post office has provided £50k worth of stamps and postal orders and pension payments and what have you to a sub post office. When the monies come back in at £100k (after the poor post mistress has had to top up takings by mortgaging her parents' house) didn't someone in accounting notice...

I wonder what the total amount of shortfall payments that the sub-postmasters were forced to pay out of their own pockets amounted to? We hear individual stories of c£44k, £66k etc and with potentially thousands of cases then this amounts to a big enough sum that the finance department would...

I do photography, fishing, and play the guitar... Plus I ride a motorcycle and a pushbike. But them with all those hobbies, once you've bought the hardware the rest is pretty cheap, give or take a tank of petrol, a pint of maggots, and a memory card or two.

It was a sparrow, actually. Although I'm told elsewhere they prefer wood pigeons - and we have loads of those.

I was on the telephone yesterday when this lady (I'm told it's a female) swooped in for breakfast. G9 with the 100-300mm.

Yes, big fan here, too. I thought he was massively well known?

I suppose it's all about one's passion. I much prefer a Premiership game than an international. If God ever gave me the choice I'd always choose a Gloucester win over an England win. I've only watched two RWC games this time, and during that period have watched Gloucester three or four times. I...

Crazy to think that the last team, other than SA or the ABs to win the rugby world cup was England. The big two have, and continue, to show the rest of us the way.

Ha. I use the same criteria. There may be two Gloucester players in the Pumas squad v one in the England team.

Was on the phone this afternoon, glanced out of the window, and saw this beauty. Grabbed my camera and took the shot quickly through the glass.

Matt Dawson, who should know, predicted all four Northern Hemisphere clubs would win. So don't feel too bad about getting predictions wrong. It certainly felt like those two games could have both been finals, and should certainly have been semi-finals.

I might start a separate "Del's Holiday Snaps" thread, but here are a couple from Valletta, taken with the GRiii. Carried the camera in my pocket and one battery lasted all day. My favourite little camera!
