Fantastic! Only tricky bit is that I don't have a stand, which is annoying because I don't think I can get them to spend more money.
It's a roll of paper not a particle accelerator !!
1) find a wall.
2) get some duct tape.
3) tape paper to wall.
Here's a (crappy) green screen I shot last week, paper from Calumet (the 1.35m width) - stuck to the wall with tape:

Does anyone know of anywhere good to buy a plain white backdrop? Preferably within walking distance of Tottenham Court Road.
I've been asked to take some pictures for work that need one and they have offered to buy one that I can walk away with as payment. I was looking at a budget of around £80.
Calumet Photographic
99-103 Drummond St
London NW1 2HJ
020 7380 1144White backdrops in stock, in various widths (2.72m x 11m arctic white is around £50 squid) was in there last week buying some chroma green, 3 minutes walk from the top end (Euston Road) of Tottenham Court Road.
P.S. it's near impossible to struggle down the road with a 2.72m roll of paper, I usually buy the cheaper 1.35m rolls, sling them in a taxi and tape two lengths together for 2.70m width.

I've never heard of this organisation either, but as with all these things I'd say there's a fine line between healthy scepticism and crazy paranoia that the internet always brings out in people. There's usualy a logical progression of thought between the two sides at least, no matter how extreme - often sound ideologies in which we can all recognise some validity, yet with something our instincts quietly tell us to be wary of. Are we conditioned to think this way though?..
We are evolutionarily conditioned to be misanthropists, to distrust what might be a threat, it seems to pool more in some people/groups than others, but I think it's entirely natural (refuses to define 'natural') - conspiracism is an expression of an evolutionary defence drive.

I always think that if you have got to the stage where it takes three bottles you need to move on to the spirits + possibly street drugs.
Shuffling is often the first sign.

never heard of this organisation, supposedly something to do with the fabian society but possibly something more sinister?
http://www.commonpurpose.org.uk/about/charter
but a polar view

anyone know anything about them? if that cunt mandleson and the DG of the BBC are involved i smell a rat.
where is tynan?
Hi MrSmyth
I am not tynan, but I am a very very close friend of his.
Common Purpose have been a target of conspiracy theorists for as long as they have existed (20 years or so) - and especially so in the last 10 years.
You say they are supposedly something to do with the fabian society "but possibly something more sinister" - which suggests to me you think the fabian society are sinister ?
You would have to be a little less ambiguous with your questions to get a decent answer, it's hard to know what it is you are driving at.
I think their main problem (or more correctly the conspiracy theorist's problem) is that they conduct meetings under the Chatham House Rule, so naturally the misanthropist instinct kicks in with those who lens the world through conspiracism.

well not that good a value as you'd have to getting a hell of a lot of paid income to pay out £1000 odd on the whole suite, individual programs maybe
just check piratebay they will always have the cracks for Mac and PC for the latest versions. its what i did all though college and uni,
I think if you made only £1,000 with an Adobe Production suite you are in the wrong business to start with, for what you get it's incredibly cheap, if on the other hand you are just fucking around and it's not your main thing then a bootleg copy makes sense, but regardless £1,000 is dirt cheap.

Correction: No confirmed meltdown. Bad sources/translation.
Basically, theres radiation spewing out of *something... *Could be lots of things, not necasarily a meltdown or anything nearly as dramatic.
It's all fucked.
4 cores are now in meltdown.
Radiation levels in Tokyo (220 kilometres from Fukushima) are at 2,000% times normal.
