Fodder

Ebized's last post is spot on for me.

From what you've said about your aunt and also your mothers relationship with her I suspect she's controlling & manipulative by nature and I have this feeing the money never really existed prior to the reading of the will so now you're being fobbed off as your aunt squandered it or put it into bad investments.

You're aunt had no legal right to that money (if it still exists) so go get it and get yourself out of your current situation.

Gove has been sacked as justice secretary.... Well there's justice for a horrible little pob

Interesting at Boris being foreign secretary however it does seem to me the that position is a watered down version with a new Secretary of State for international trade and Secretary of State for exiting the EU taking some of the functions away from that role.

I'm pleased Larry the cat got to retain his position though

Private plate ***KDR on wrexham road stopped at the Kings school ped crossing.... Then 2 mins later stopped at same crossing but going the other direction. I assume because of the traffic going into town.

I was a pedestrian so didn't wave

Tesco have preorder 2 games for £80 on at the moment.

Thinking of ordering BF1 and undecided for the second.

Can't find my physical copy of red dead redemption so just bought off the 360 store for £6.24

 

Will fire it up over the weekend

Installed last night and had a blast, graphics obviously feel dated and combat system gets some getting used to again but it's such a good game still.

Ok so as requested this is a trial in progress but here are some time-lapse video's I've done, no sound, no fancy editing so please don't be too critical... I also know that this is somewhat OT

 

Look great mate. I've always liked time-lapse footage but I am yet to try night time stuff.

Thanks, I think it's not too bad for a GoPro to be fair.

I want to try with my DSLR but will have to wait for the nights to close in and I don't fancy leaving it out in the elements for hours

He's the David Moyes to Clarkson's Ferguson, come into a role where it is impossible to satisfy the bulk of fans. The next lead presenter will just have to be better than Evans, not comparable Clarkson.

 

I'd love to see Coogan do it.

I thought the BBC have already stated they won't be replacing him or has that since changed?

Rabbitstew he probably hit camera instead of mute in webex.... Done that plenty of times myself.

Some good advice in this thread, I too work for an American company and yes they can be full of themselves but they do recognise talent... In fact I've moved roles a few times and it's always down to the role being offered, haven't had to be interviewed once strangely.

Good luck

I've been away and looking forward to playing the first DLC for the Division, anyone sampled it yet and their thoughts? I suspect Will has been playing it

Ah well just getting ready for a 10 hour flight so will have to make do with bejewelled or whatever else is available

There was one main reason for watching..... Phillipa Forrester in leathers :drool:

Which one did the geeky George whatshisnane build? IIRC he won a couple of series on the trott

Not sure where you are based but our London office organises monthly walking tours around London, each will have a different theme such as Jack the Ripper etc. You could combine that with a team based quiz afterwards with the questions based on the tour.

My work organised a treasure hunt in Chester using historic markers as clues. I thought it sounded lame as hell at the time, but it was actually really good. Definitely allowed me to get to know people I didn't really know too well, develop relationships and friends. And because we were split off into teams, it promoted team work above all else.

 

Karting is cool, but you're alone, in a car, competing against your work mates.

Ours did this a couple of years back, we all ended up outside the commercial drinking beer using Google.... As more and more teams got to that point the bigger the party got

Pete, I'm sure you're aware of NCAR and I believe there's also a cat specific charity in Chester called chester kitty cat rescue.

Good luck hate to hear of any animal not doing so good

Definitely a roadster. Incidentally it was 3 years ago today I was told mine would be written off as a CAT C. Still miss that car even though it was becoming totally impractical with me rarely actually driving it.

apologies for the spam

Found I can only post 2 at a time:

GoPro 4 black:

Settings

Night lapse

White balance 3k

ISO varies but as low as I can

Exposure again varies but most of these will be around 30s which does introduce some blur.

All of these will be recorded over several hours

Neither of us, I was there yesterday morning though in my coupe click and collecting

 

Pete

Ooo well there's another around

Edit: actually I think it was a blade silver and can't remember if that's the roadster or coupe

Spotted a roadster looking for a spot in a relatively quiet area close to Next away from the one way chaos on the other side.

Suspect it was Pete or Caroline but was over near M&S food so couldn't see driver.

@350Zedd I'll need to create a video sharing account somewhere. Will take a look tonight.

 

Ok, no pressure, just thought if you had it handy thats all. Leave it, if its too much hassle

I've been meaning to sort something out anyway. Just don't expect anything thats going to blow your mind, I just love seeing the movement of the stars/clouds etc

If I get chance tonight I'll give it a shot, I'm guessing YouTube is my best bet...

Edit: didn't get chance as had other stuff to sort. Will try for tonight.

@350Zedd I'll need to create a video sharing account somewhere. Will take a look tonight.

just trying to figure out the best one to get for taking photographs of the stars.

 

For general pictures of the sky at night a wide-angle is best. I use a 10-20mm Sigma.

The faster the lens the better (large aperture) as you can use shorter exposures to prevent star trails.

A 50mm f1.8 is fine. Small, lightweight and cheap or just try what you've got already.

Expect to stop down a few stops to get acceptable performance

Telephotos are great for large nebulae and the Milky Way star clouds.

Been looking at this myself, main problem I have is light pollution so hoping when the nights draw in to go a little further away from towns/cities.

Got a few interesting time lapse videos using GoPro from my back garden though.

So who is buying one of these bad boys? :lol:
