Remove that comma and it becomes a good story.

Yeh, but, a selfie?

PicMonkey is a very useful free editing service. Well, the basic stuff is free, you can pay $3 a month and get the whole lot if you like. It's easy to use and very quick for adjusting contrast, exposure, shadows, saturation and so on.

No, it doesn't. It really, really doesn't.

Zoe should have the colour version

so confuse. wow.
This? You can just imagine the headmaster shouting at Bill. "Chidley! Fingers down!"

I have to limit myself to how much time I spend looking at Street View or I would do nothing else. I think it's the greatest achievement in the history of photography. That people can find an almost limitless selection of entirely different kinds of photos never fails to amaze me.

Cloning out the Google stamps in the sky is the fun part.

He's not wrong. Different approach though, I guess

[ Given the BBC's leftist tendencies and usually positive stance on immigration I
Robinson is a Tory, Stephanie Flanders went from being Economics editor to working for the far-left thinktank JP Morgan and her replacement Robert Peston is an ex political editor of Marxist daily the Financial Times. Admittedly Andrew Marr worked for the radical Independent and stated the BBC has a "cultural liberal bias". But liberals are not lefties. Ed Milliband is not a leftie. The notion of what is left wing has shifted so far to the centre that in your life time, if not mine, Nick Griffin will be seen as the new Tony Benn.

I knew a bloke called Skully. He'd hold a knife to your throat, or your genitals if he was feeling that way inclined, and 'ask' you to do things. One day he suggested I might like to try his fixed-gear-wheel bike that he'd found just inside the back door of the newly opened Manchester velodrome.
After that I was hooked - any time anyone threatened me with a bladed implement I couldn't get enough of riding 'fixed'. It was the flow - as Skully put it, it was like when you had the shits and just let it go in Mothercare. A feeling of freedom, of release. I'd be doing circles outside William Hill while Skully was inside with a pick axe and a large hessian sack and it just felt right.
Sometimes we'd stop at a red light while Skully gave the v sign to a war veteran and that's where I learned about track stands. That whole year was an education.
Last I heard Skully had got in to cyclo cross, or CX as it's known on Twitter, and had given up his 'fixie' but I will always be grateful to him. Grateful and terrified. -
There's an interview with Boonen in Procycling where that is mentioned. Boonen says it's a nonsense idea because Flanders and Roubaix are so different.

The woman isn't going to be a danger to anyone any more, and putting her in prison wouldn't help anyone.
Prison won't help her driving, that's for sure, but what will? She was banned for 12 months. I wish I had your confidence that someone who has shown herself capable of such catastrophically bad driving will no longer be a danger to anyone in a year's time, unless she chooses never to drive again.
Imagine if her job involved operating heavy machinery and as a result of extreme carelessness she had killed someone - would you expect her to be back at work operating that machinery again after a 12 month break? And would anyone be happy to work alongside her? -
Interesting. How do get jeans that are so tight around your legs but saggy at the arse?

I have the Nikon 55-200 which I use on my D7000. Not the fastest aperture but it is cheap - extremely cheap at the moment Nikon 55-200MM F/4-5.6 AF-S VR DX Black Lens: Amazon.co.uk: Camera & Photo
Ken Rockwell likes it http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/55-200mm-vr.htm
and I find it sharp enough. The AF is not as fast as on the pro lenses but I use it at bike polo with no problems

It's also very light and on the D7000 gives you a portable and very useful 300mm.
