That would be a different thread altogether.

Start it, if you like.

I’ll just go and get some popcorn………… 🙂

GA

…..which, strangely, was a Red Indian recipe. (Without the toffee or butter obviously)

So surprised nobody has mentioned the Red Indian “Ethnic cleansing” carried out in USA.

Anyway,
Unfortunately, throwing money at a group that has not yet been allowed to integrate into the “Cultured” society, because of prejudice and/or ignorance means that a large portion of that group will drink themselves into an early grave. Which, knowing how Governments think (a) Gets them off the hook buy paying out (b) Shortens the length of the problem by them dying (c) Recover a significant amount of the pay-out in the booze tax.

My brief vist to Oz included the obligatory Ayers Rock. I was alone, but a group of British gap year students set about tackling a group of Ozzy ‘Whites’ because the latter were urinating on the rock, specifically because it was “An Abbo God”.
The English lads, being polite in comparison, were no match to the gobby Oz idiots with sticks…in the small fight that ensued.

What chance has any integration policy got with a mindset like that around?

Obviously, the idiots were a minority (I really hope)

Chocs and a card. I get her flowers weekly anyway.
Got to be done. Foreplay is a 24/7 role.

But the gremlin inside me SHOUTS LIKE HELL at the fact that a card costs nearly £3. I could make better myself…in fact next year I will!

That’s one funky looking Lancaster.

So bad, it should have been a Morecambe.

For those Americans on here, Morecambe is a sea-side town a few miles from Lancaster. Morecambe is now unfortunately a very run down and sad looking place. Various attempts at sprucing it up have failed. Mainly because it’s too cold there to be at the seaside, people go to that part of the UK to walk the Lake District.

Thanks for the reply. The new camera is a Canon 400D – last time I went to Wattisham the pics were dark and someone advised me to change the metering settings – so I think I did it too much, as I did it a whole point. Will have to have another try to get the correct settings – as I said I am new to this, as I only had a point and shoot camera last year.

OK good.
The slight under exposure is easily recovered in Photoshop. Overexposure means the data is lost forever.
400D, nice choice.
If your pictures were dark, and still are….maybe you altered the setting the wrong way? Or maybe the metering mode is on total average? Check the metering is on centre, (Or even Spot) so the thing you focus on is the thing it exposes for. It’s all trial and error until you know the ins-n-outs of your camera and of course your tastes. Every person sees a different picture….and some judges at my camera clubs see some very different pictures!!! LoL.
I always have my exposure compensation set at minus 1/3rd stop. This means that all my shots look a tad dark until I get to the PC. The underexposure saturates the colours, and allows you a certain confidence that highlights will not be washed out.
The beauty of A/c pictures is that setting Photoshop levels can be easy. As there is usually a white point (Part of the upper fuselage is always in direct light and is usually white) and a black point….the tyres. Pick these out with the “Dropper” and the levels is a 2 minute adjustment. Hopefully 🙂

But again, it’s all down to what and how you see it.

The Reg. G-ASDA must surely be just for the advert? SDA was a Beech Queenair.
Or, have we gone American now and recycle registrations willy nilly?

Well i guess theres a ton more variables if its an airliner, is it a scheduled flight is one thing, what about its transponders/IFF type thing, is it flying ‘normally’ as in not eratic, if it gets uncomftably close i would imagine it then gets hailed or radio’d whatever but i guess that wouldnt prove the guy flying it is genuine, then if it keeps on a track that will collide with the carrier then send up some jets to get a look at it with the eyeball and see what the airliners doing, anyway i don’t know thats how i’d imagine it would be sort of like.

Edit: i know what your saying old shape, i partially agree, in my own little opinion is that if the pushing and shoving really starts then by all means bring it on and yes it would be good economicly i guess but before that happens i think most of us would rather keep it more relaxed, chilled if you like. Also i think some 50 thousand or so people died in cold war related stuff, or so i got told at school i rememeber.

I think that was the Western propaganda…..which is good if you follow my philosophy above. “Taxpayers not moaning….”
The military deaths in the Cold war were nearly all to do with “Spy” aircraft being shot down. A few lost at the bay of pigs. The total death count is in the hundreds (But I don’t think more than 500) from what I can gather.
In my post I said no military shots fired, what I meant was in real conflict. I wasn’t really counting the spy craft..but they are indeed military deaths.

Outstandingly fantastic.
Would I try it?……probably not, once kids come along life is more valuable.
Would I have done it before kids? NO GODDAM WAY! RofL, he’s within 15 feet of rockside and ground (When he goes past the road). One microburst and he’s a 6 foot diameter red puddle.

There’s plenty more Wingsuit vids out there but that is one of the best.

May I suggest you do a Google or YouTube search on “31 wheeled roller suit in Swiss Alps”.
Another equally nutty activity, but this guy is the only one that does this. Music by Muse, “Map of the problematique”. Speed of roller blader, about 70mph.
