And he’s crying now. Along with me, because I am a City fan.

Yeah, RIP. 96, wow!
I liked him in MASH, and his predecessor.
He made a lot of films and can’t recall a bad one.

I reckon empty shells for the Movie.

Or, like a free fall bomb, the prop has to spin a few dozen times to engage the detonator? It screws it up in place. This is why, back in Falklands 1, a lot of Argie Bombs bounced not banged….the prop hadn’t spun enough because of the very low level attacks giving not enough air-time for the bomb. Had they had more experience, you can manually set it very close before take-off.

Thanks for the information.
Snipped.

I’ve never used a photo editor before, and don’t know that would be something I’d have the patience for.

Again, thanks for the information you’ve given me. I’ve been afraid that the DSLR cameras may be far more than what I need, and wasn’t sure if the bridge cameras would fit the basics for what I do photography-wise. The information you’ve provided so far is helping me understand things that were very foreign to me.

Rob, go and play with a Bridge camera in the shop. IMO you don’t want to get into the depth of SLR shooting an all the editing etc. Of course, you can set the DSLR to Auto, set the sharpening up, set the picture style up……but all you are doing then is turning a DSLR into a point and shoot with a big lens.

You may even get a good deal on a 2nd hand bridge for those ppl that have moved onto an SLR from a bridge.

Battery life, A DSLR will probably have a better battery life. My Panasonic (FZ20 from 2004) has a terrible battery life, for a full day at an airshow I would take 3, yes 3 batteries. This canon 450 I have now will go > 1,000 shots before it’s down to 1 bar. The Image stabilisation on Panasonic is, IMO incredible, and better than Canon DSLR IMO. With that FZ20 I once took a 1 handed shot of an aircraft at 20,000 feet or so, on full digital zoom (48x). You could count the windows and read the reg. off the wing. Incredible.

So, if going for a bridge, consider a 2nd battery.

In case you didn’t know, Digital Zoom is only a gimmick. All it does is electronically enlarge the maximum true zoom. So, don’t get sold on a big digital zoom figure.
I used digi zoom as a mwessabout (Like the aircraft above) or a telescope!

Yes Kev, the Command and orders were “as expected” but they were not always adhered to by the men of the action.

It must be Milligan.

At the end of this clip from The Life of Brian, the sheer frustration, exasperation and defeat expressed in just his hands before he walks off is pure genius.

He was a genius anyway….
Aah but….when the Python lot were filming in Turkey, they just happened into a Bar where Spike was having a snack on his holiday. They offered him a few mins in the movie over a beer and that was that.

Swearing. There is good and bad. Some swearing matches..possible enhances the joke or story. Billy C is good example. Some swearing is pointless and is only added for purility….Roy Chubby Brown is good example.

edit, just watched John Bishop, I think he’s funny. Probably because I lived in the ‘pool for a decade and understand the sense of humour a bit.

Swearing and rudeness isn’t new. Max Wall was banned by the BBC for dozens of years for a joke with swearing and “gross innuendo” in it. He came back on TV with a part in Crossroads IIRC.

Macintyre Mcintyre (Don’t care). He’s as funny as walking around Preston with a nail in your shoe.
All his material is stolen…he just removes the swearing and pretends to be posh. Good luck to him, the formula works and he’s rich from it.
