Yeh, and Enzo didn't go to lunch in a chopper, and so on. I saw it with people who don't acknowledge motor racing as such, and they enjoyed it. The movie could so easily have been another Hollywood pastiche, but it actually avoided all the obvious traps. I also cut it some slack because they showed enough of that Ferrari, being the most beautiful 4-wheeled device ever created. B-)

Feathered friends... Marty that looks like a juvenile, bit late in the season? Magpies, Paul? Over here we shoot them on sight. The splash of deep black and brilliant white feathers is unmistakable in the garden! Magpies are masters of squatting in other birds nests, and getting their owners to take over their eggs for them!... :blink: ...! They are wonderfully proportioned birds, with their fat tummies, and long tail feathers! My neighbour's pesky Cats are always my biggest worries when the birds are around!.... :angry: ...! The fat Wood Pidgeons cant get off the ground fast enough! I love...

"THANKS" Marty :) I've done a few of these. This particular one I've published (and previously elsewhere too), but, there's others I haven't .... yet. And then there's still others, for the COMET 1/!A, I still want to undertake .... and similarly present. Just a matter of "TIME" ;) Mark C AKL/NZ

OK I did that forum thing where you read the first line and assume you know what is being discussed :unsure: Good to know the MIL isn't a closet ace photographer... My picture is what the phone reconstructed after I ended up almost flat on the ice cold deck trying not to breathe. It's why telescopes have that side eyepiece thingy. I see they come with tracking abilities now too. Maybe next blood supermoon I will, ah... wait a minute :blink:

A humble, humorous and articulate man. I loved his book "Carrying the Fire". Its one of the best descriptions of spaceflight, covering his early flying, then Gemini and Apollo missions. RIP Mike Collins, gone but never forgotten.

This image says it all... I spent more than a moment reflecting on what it means. We are so splendidly insulated in NZ from the terrible cold winds blowing in the world. Elizabeth II is a class act, and her relationship with HRH the Duke of Edinburgh, a model of Royal forbearance. She has balanced so carefully what should be a complete anachronism, with the changing demands of a fast-changing world. Wills and Kate totally Get It, which must be some consolation to the Queen. Well said Charl, that photo will go down in history. Sadly I thought I had recorded the whole thing.... but it appears I...

Cheers Big Guy .....they turn out some great stuff, but now and then they slip a bit ...says me :rolleyes: I downloaded their latest from Hong Kong and was a bit disappointed... a great selection of carriers, but, just messy somehow. I have a few DVD's, but mainly I buy them and view them on their Fluxplayer. With the older stuff, they allow one DVD burn, but not with the new stuff. Will catch up with thee deeknow.

Mike you are an early riser, by any measure! Charl, not usually at 0330 as today. I woke about 3am and by half-past I was sure I wasn't going to get back to sleep so I thought I may as well get up. I like to get up around daybreak, because you can get 4 or 5 hours of work in before it gets too hot. When I was commuting to Bris, I caught a bus at 0645 to connect with the 0730 train, so the alarm was set for 0445. It still is - I have left it there just for the pleasure of switching it off and going back to sleep. :lol:

They have to look after CC customers, because they are the Fatted Calf. Time is running out, many vendors charge you for the pleasure. And in truth the reason for having a CC isn't all that clear anymore.

Not sure what's going on here ...I've been expecting a funeral notice or something ...but nothing. I've had no comms from family members. So, I will leave it here ...with a clip I know he would have liked.
