The person makes it.

true.

Never liked cycling through Ealing. Last time I did I had a massive row with a chap on a brompton.

When you turn up at servicemen's funerals with shouty signs saying that you are glad he's dead, that normally emotionally unsettles people.

When those pictures are spread around the world, and lots of people who have lost someone they love imagine the WBC turning up at their loved ones funerals with similar signs - that definately unsettles people.

Plus, and lets be honest here, they aren't the most....erm.... satorial... people you want at your husband / wife's funeral.

And those people who are happy to call themselves Christians don't really want to be associated with them. A bit like the fact that I drive a car, but don't ever compare me to Jeremy Clarkson.

Bollocks - they've drawn me in again.

Why do people care so much about him and westboro? Its only a bunch of 70people with shouty signs. How are they able to emotionally unsettle so many people around the world?

Gone,
thanks - I should have twigged that it was a long exposure - it really is a masterful shot.

I've had a version of the firefox for about 6 years. It packs up very small. When they are new they are great. Mine got washed wrongly, and now I often find condensation on the inside - on the other hand I do sweat like a pig so I tend to avoid waterproofs unless I absolutely have to wear them.

Kathmandu stuff is well made, but the sizing can be a bit weird - they aren't made to fit Brits. I've had a fleece which has lasted 13 years and is still my number one choice. People will think you are a Kiwi / Aussie though.

Drew, lovely captures.

Care to share more information? I really like the effect of the second picture, the street scene. Is that slightly overexposed? Metered off the camera? How, how, how? The light is very impressive.

TK,
Cheers, I've got mates in Munich, so I'll see if they can send some over. The extra stop is usefull. I'll have to make space in the freezer and fridge first though :)

More Brighton? I walked past that spot a couple of weeks ago but never shot anything as good as those. Nice one. Particularly like the child on the like of sand in the top one.

Vegan boots? Look nice (both the boots & the picture).
What lens?

Yes, vegan boots. They belong to Mrs P. The lens is the minolta md 50mm, f1.7. I do like this camera. I'm really impressed with the viewfinder. The auto mode is apature priority, and there's a fully manual mode as well.

Where did you find the Vista Plus 400? the 200 version is pretty common here.

Went shopping for an ME Super or a Minolta SRT 101 yesterday. Came back with a Minolta X300 for half the price of the ME super. My only regret is not buying the full set of lenses to go with it. Loving it so far, will post pics when I have them. Wanted it as a car/posing camera.

got them back - happy

Name a massive human rights issue, a major war, or humanitarian crisis caused by women.

While we are at it, I'll add almost every abuse case in the care industry, the abuse of children at the hands of nuns in the 50s and 60s, and the continued campaigning to have sex workers and their client criminalised while ignoring the wishes of the sex workers themselves.

Well done on the 645. The light seals are on the cusp of going with mine, so I wrap tape round the outside. The film can be tricky to load until you've got the knack. The 80mm lens is as good as anything you can buy, and additional lenses are very chap. Have fun.

All the above, plus check your house insurance for legal costs, and maybe any credit cards or bank accounts you may have sometimes have legal advice included. Must report to police.

I don't get the "go Dutch" thing. On my last visit to 'dam I saw very little segregation outside the main streets, lots and lots of very close shaves, and behavior from both cyclists and drivers which would have led to shouty slanging matches and fisticuffs in London.

Which leads me to conclude that it's the attitude of all the population which makes the difference, not the "rules".

Will, those are really nice shots. care to share some details - location at very least?
Cheers

On a four day training course in Erdington, just outside Birmingham. Stay in the city and travel out, or stay near the course venue? Is Birmingham worth it?

Had enough of compacts. Will be putting all mine on ebay soon.

Cheep cloth tape - surely the worst of both worlds? I really would not look to mr dobbins for advice, 90% of the bikes owned by this forum would give him a heart attack.

Cheap boxes = wasted money

Metal toolboxes only if you use them for work (factory, workshop etc)

Sales are on at the moment.

Not terribly helpful, I got my big box from homebase, which I love but its domestic use only. My bike tools live in a canvas bag, so I can easily carry it around, and I've got a 5 pond jobby which is always breaking so it gets used for everything else.

these are the best according to moneysavingexpert. http://www.bestforeignexchange.com/
order online and you can pick it up in london the same day

seconded.

Mrs P is very "frugal" and she always insists we use them.

FWIW, we go over to Europe twice a year, and take about 500 euros cash each time. Split it up in lots of wallets / purses in case you lose it / get robbed. Never had any problems.

use a atm/ credit card for emergency cash and large purchases. You might want to let your cc provider know you are going - we had a cc purchase refused in Spain because the bank thought it was stolen. Mrs P went ballistic with the bank when we got home.

Have fun, you lucky thing.

all the shots - lovely - wish my randomness had such pattern to it. I want you to go back and shoot that street scene again - the composition is pleasing.
