Yesterday, a phone call from Portsmouth Hospital confirming I was live on the Kidney Transplant list. :D I spent Friday through to Thursday in Salisbury hospital as I had a terrible cough down to fluid in my chest. My kidney function is now down to just 8%, so they weren't clearing the...

I ended up purchasing a "Humming Bird", used but in as new condition. It goes everywhere with us, and I just carry a lightweight travel tripod in a shoulder bag to go with it. For my local reserves, it's the perfect size, the Swarovski ATX 85 is a bit too long at Langford Lakes, it's almost...

I've tried them twice, and never got on with them. Must be a "me" problem.

Now that's a car for the Alps in summer..... Just imagine that V8 echoing through the vallies and over the Grand St Bernard......

Who needs EV's when cars sound like these.....

Problem is, would a "Manc bag" be red or sky blue? Or maybe both, but everybody would have a red one, and the blue would be expensive......

With the Fuji range, a lot depends on the lens you're using at the time. The older 35 f1.4 was awful, but the newer 33 1.4 is much quicker. The 50-140 is no slouch either. I don't have vast experience across the range of lenses, but it would be worth knowing what your actual set up is. I had...

Mor ddigwilydd! :p

I thought it was because it takes so long to decipher that ridiclous language!! :ROFLMAO:

We've had this argument before. The Argentinians started the war, not us, we just finished it. Just because they were relatively unguarded, does not make it an invitation for an invasion. I was in the TA at the time and was called up to cover in Germany for servicemen that had gone to the...

But for some of us, she was a great PM. She taught us to try and do our best to support ourselves, and of course, there is of course, the Falklands, which Labour wanted to hand over to Argentina, despite the fact that the huge majority of those living their wanted to stay a British Overseas...

Yes, you won't get 500mbps on coax. Most of it has been replaced by fibre, but you have to be in a Virgin covered area, many are not, and from what I hear, their customer service is quite poor.

We were changed from BT to EE at the time of our last contract renewal. BT own EE, but use EE primarily for domestic stuff, and the main business to business contracts are via BT. I sold business connectivity for years, in the early days with Easynet, who were one of the first to provide their...

Some PSA going on there (proper sideways action)..........

Years ago, when I worked in London, I was crossing over zebra crossing when a cyclist shouted at me to get out of the way, I just pushed him off the bike, he went down with a heck of a thump. Then waled over and said, I had priority on the crossing. He was moaning that his bike looked damaged...
