...to Bahrain. Should have gone two weeks back for AM's birthday, but what with the Stress Technetium test, then that cold, the trip got sidelined. Stayed at the Diplomat for a change rather than the Gulf, mainly because the former did me the courtesy… more »

...you really would like to bang some heads together. In one of my weaker moments, I agreed to become a moderator across at The Photo Forum. For the most part, it's simply a case of dealing with a bit of spam, moving a few misplaced threads, helping out… more »

I get the urge to turn out some real crap with the camera. Case in point... more »

If you're watching (the stats say you are), you'll have to excuse my temporary absence in these parts. Since last Tuesday (not yesterday) I've had a bit of a pig of a cold. Nothing to actually stop me using the PC, but certainly enough to put me that… more »
