Great pic Tibsy ;-) Damn, now that Cyn's got me all Freudian I can see so much symbolism in this picture..... he he he Zack, I think I know where you were. Ye should have asked after me mate - they would have dropped the price by half and thrown in a coupla Walnut Whips ;-) They do that sort of thing for regulars...... ahem (",)

Eggbuckland? EGGBUCKLAND? lol - we sure beat the world for wierd names over here, don't we ;-) Kewl piccy ;-) (",)

Niiiiiice pic, Cyn!! Over here they faded out that style of power point, and now we have really stark, square ones, and it's added to by the shade of brown. Once again here that was about the only shade of wallpaper you could get at first and once you get down through all the layers in an old house you usually find it.... so the picture gets a slightly older, more Victorian feel all round! (",) btw, good to hear about the speed. I'm actually 4 times faster at home than at work, and it just kills me surfing there, so I know how you must be feeling......

urk - wow, worra difference! Looks like Ninja's kick ass ;-) This noise thing is one of the offputting things for me about night shots - I too wonder about those stray green (sometimes red) pixels... what are they? (",)

Yer' Honour, In my defence I would like to point out that I didn't notice it until it was mentioned, M'lud. I plead Not Guilty ;-) (",)

Tom, yer a bloody life saver!!! I thought I was mad coz I find the same thing!! I only need glasses for distance, but they make me look a right nerd (ok, nerdIER) and I can't be bothered with contacts..... but yes, when I wear them things aren't just more in focus, they're like... more ALIVE. Certainly more vibrant - I find especially reds - brick buildings, red light zones etc etc... Doug, I ain't no expert, but I think if your 2 inches away from your monitor those glasses are needed, bud.... it must give you a pretty bad headache just from the flicker alone at that range? Man, I'm cringing at the thought for ya... (",)

Yeah, we learned this in basic bike training too (even though I'd had bikes from 15-18 over here you still have to take a 'basics' course before you go for a full licence..) You're right about it making life easy... I found out it worked when I did the 'slow motion sideways fall' move by stalling it on a hill start.... (I now ride an imported Yammy 400 - Japanese import means lower bike - perfect for a shorty like me, means I don't suffer the 'crushed b@lls' syndrome that comes with a bigger bike while straining to reach the ground) (",)

Between the legs? Ah, now we are getting the Freudian Insight into the real meaning of the picture.....lol (",) erm, actually, looking at at THAT way........ ;-)

You don't have these in the US? Blimey, they're perfect for over there!! You peel back the lid, take out a little plastic sauce sachet, pour boiling water to the fill mark (ie. those ripples at the top) - give it 3 mins, add a touch more water and the sauce sachet then eat. They're kinda like a thick cup-a-soup (you gotta have THOSE right?) and have virtually no real nutritional value. Cheers for the comments peeps! (",)

I gotta admit I agree here too - I know I don't post many pics to start with, but night shots I have never really got the hang of at all..... well, I get composition no bother but settings.... I think my camera is just stuck on 'AUTO' these days, and my skill setting set on 'LUCK'..... your info is indeed being digested ;-) Tanx! (".)

Really like the way you've built this up Solo - I couldn't put my finger on what it was that got me with the first one, then I realised the reflections don't come towards you like they normally would - and it works great! Personally I find it trying to pull me through the picture instead of into it, wierd but well cool..... mmm. CeeJay, What's an LP mate? snigger (",)

Man, this just looks SO much fun!! My poor baby is 100% road use only, so I miss this sort of thing from when I was a young'un.... The first pic imo is the best - not only coz it looks like the perfect pic for a caption comp, but also coz it assumes that after coming OFF the bike you're still ok enough to get it back on it's wheels.... winces with memories (",) btw, the girl shure looks pretty ;-)

CeeJay, watchit bud - maybe after 25 big ones the better half has got some fairytale ideas mixed up with a desire for a younger model? You might be getting replaced at this VERY moment and not know it..... some quick rescue work might be needed, gang!!! .... (",) btw, speaking of Bud adverts, did anyone see the 'nude ferret' one? (didn't make it to TV in the UK, dunno about anywhere else?) so, so funny.....

Yeah, right, a likely story - tell the truth, you're fattening him up for a nice meal one day.... the cats are just to give him a false sense of security, aren't they?!? I've met your type before..... (",)
