  1. Zzzzzzzzzzz * waves red flag *
  2. Now, as this subject has been done to death. Can we have a new one? How about: The Hypocrisy of the Catholic Church ( country by country of course ) If not that, can we do: Fluid Engineering " The wonder of the one-way Catheter valve " Many thanks Nette(tu)
  3. I do like The Gowlett pizza But a little salt & some more olive oil in the dough would be good ( imho la la ) Nette(tu)

  5. Jess I have a wormery. I did think of building one as i'm fairly adept at that kind of thing however, I luckily found one of the Can-O-Worms type second-hand for ?10. It spent a further ?30 odd on 2kg of worms and coir etc. The benefit of this can type is collecting the "worm tea" in the bottom tank. It's an amazingly powerful fertiliser,so strong you have to dilute it 1-3 parts water. It's made my tomato plants grow like crazy and produce a mass of fruit this season, which i'm very happy about. So, if you can build one that collects the "tea" in a tank then great. If not keep an eye out for the C-o-W type as it's dead easy to set up. Good luck. Nette (tu)
  6. Basically it was pretty appalling. I felt for Dwain Chambers. http://img.skysports.com/11/08/660x350/dwainchambers_2642255.jpg I know he's nearly finished his chequered career but I do admire his perseverance. N:(

If i'm right its a 44-Magnum ( in nickel ) When you pull the trigger it kicks up hard, a flash of flame rips out of the end & your chest goes "Uuuuhhh" as the air is knocked out by the force. Really quite exhilarating. Nette:))
  8. Is this facebook link a promotion of some kind. It's a bit crummy if it is. The Rose. What about it ? Nette:-S

Hmmmm Me too, it's like crack. Horrible but strangely compelling (td)
  13. The new Beach Volleyball court is apparently part of the Olympic legacy and this one at Crystal Palace is one of 7 across the U.k Also see here the Go-Spike campaign to promote the sport. Nette(tu)

No ianr http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/FIVBbeachaction.jpg/300px-FIVBbeachaction.jpg Tempting as it was I didn't want this to be a titillating "Oooo look at the buns on that" thread. I'm genuinely excited about the new court being built at the National Stadium, Crystal Palace. I even hope to play there myself sometime, body holding out and all that. Nette(tu)
  15. Apparently it's one of the fastest growing spectator sports. And heaven knows why, I mean super-fit players wearing a tiny kit & diving all over the place, isn't everyone's cup of tea. http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSzGhdVIdy6vtYqbKDUNJ_DRN50atDyBdPI64M9Tc9qOyj06Ivi However, there is a new Beach VolleyBall court being built at the National Stadium, Crystal Palace. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg88/scaled.php?server=88&filename=photo15vu.jpg&res=medium I saw it today & it's taking shape very nicely. NETTE:)
  16. Hey don't John Lewis own "that" shop. Oh my & how some wish it were here in E.D Anyway, I love Peter Jones too (in the way you love a strange aunt) Nette(tu)

However, they do have a range of pre-settings, like landscape, portrait, macro etc. I've had a S20 Pro Fuji FinePix for years & literally shot/used it to death ( 12,000 + images ).It's been an absolutely brilliant piece of kit in all its modes & i'm getting it repaired for very little. I've used it professionally in my work & as a general all round camera. ( I studied textiles and printmaking & photography was a large part of that ) I think the best thing to do is buy a camera that feels right for you at the right price. I've met people who go out and spend an absolute fortune on a top of the range Nikon and are petrified of taking the thing out anywhere. A camera is an image making tool & it needs to work for you. Don't get swept up on all the gee-gaaws only to never use or understand them. The technology has also developed at such a pace that even the less expensive cameras like this Fuji have features and resolution ( 16 mega pixels...wow ) that were very expensive or not even possible until recently. Finally it's worth setting up a project with your new camera and working through the instruction manual feature-by-feature. It's only then will the camera feel dead right to use. Have fun though & show us the results when you get some. Nette(tu)
  20. Hi A. Do you recommend dry cleaning or will damp sponge suffice. Also "pinch pleat" or full on "ruched" In anticipation Annette(?)
