    Re post #3:
    “The ONLY time it is permissible to mention Justin Bieber is to let the forum know that he has been very badly injured in some horrific accident involving a cattle-prod and his genitals.”

    Am I not allowed to mention that he (Bieber) has been arrested in Miami Beach for Drag racing in his Lambo while under the influence of alcohol [URL=”http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-25863200“] ?

    I suppose it’s too much to hope that the fuzz may have used a tazer on his bits while in custardy(!):rolleyes:

    The seller obviously isn’t aware of the differences between ‘officer’ and ‘other ranks’ uniforms!

    It looks to be a modern (Staybrite buttons) LAC’s No 1 jacket.

    As for the metal badge !?!

    Forty quid! – I handed mine back when I left the service 🙂

    Reporter update – Daily Mail

    Moggy – re post #8,

    You may need to edit your post – for ‘his’ make that ‘hers’ etc.(and you DaveF68).

    Looked up the author ‘person’ Mia De Graaf:

    From her web page:

    Mia de Graaf
    Home

    I am a trainee reporter on the Mail Online graduate scheme. I spent the first four months at the Manchester Evening News and the next two at Caters News Agency in Birmingham. I am now based at the Mail office in London.

    Articles range from breaking news to fluffy animals. !!!

    (See for yourself at miadegraaf.com)

    Personally, I place the blame for the shoddy articles in that awful paper firmly and squarely on the editorial staff!

    P.S. The Sunderland is NOT a fluffy animal – it’s a PORCUPINE

    You’ve partially answered your own question Axel,

    Without knowing your requirements for the ‘best possible shot’ I don’t think many on here could help you (hopefully, those better-qualified than me will have some suitable words of advice) – from your image postings thus far, you appear to be a competent shutter operator. You need to go out and take lots of shots to be able to find what you are looking for!

    Good luck with the new camera!!

    Brilliant set, Rab!

    I think the Aer Lingus is masterful – unusual viewpoint and that prop blur -r-r-r !

    Thanks for posting.

    Tony at BH,

    Looks as though there are some in Tutor Road, Leuchars, although some appear to have been modernized.

    Nice set, Rab!

    Love the Dashs too.

    BTW, the Flying Colours (Thomas Cook) should be G-FLCD. Nice detail shot though – thanks for posting.

    Angry – What me?

    1. Luke warm shower due to it being faulty – only been installed for 3 months. Got my bathroom fitter on the case – he told me not to worry, he’ll change it under warranty. Called me late this ‘afto’ – none in stock, supplier relocating to new depot, etc. He will try again on Monday. Apologies in advance for my reduced personal hygiene regime in the meanwhile.

    2. Went to the building society in order to extract some of MY money from my ‘loan’ to them – insufficient funds in their till (at 09:15 !), cash van hasn’t turned up yet! Helpful assistant rang their associated bank branch at the other end of the street to cadge a bit of working capital from them – no dice; they too have no cash due to the time-lock on their vault not allowing access!!

    3. Big queue at Halfords – ditto at Aldi.

    You all have a nice weekend!

    I think he’s referring to this:

    Battle Scarred – about a 92 yr-old tail gunner who lost his best friend.

    Love the JPS Javelin.

    Mind you, the JPS livery would look good on a pram! (or an Austin 7) :)-

    Dave, Speed Limiter set at 30 mph?, so your the old git that holds everyone up by travelling at 30 mph on a Sunday…..:D
    Jim.
    Lincoln .7

    Not guilty, your honour!

    I did mention that I have never used it BUT… I have given the ‘sport’ mode a bit of a work out, flappy paddles – just like Herr Vettel 🙂

    Meanwhile, back on topic, like you Jim, I never have the radio or CD player on while driving. I believe they can cause distraction to drivers.
    Bl00dy passengers can use their iPod thingy with earbuds if they want music, etc, while in my car.

    Dorset!! (eek! – sorry, no graphic available!).

    A good place to fly over – not so good to drive in, full of grockles and mimsers!
