    Did you pay by Credit card? Call the company and recall the payment. It’s one of the things they are good for.

    That image was likley shot either a dawn or just before senset with perhaps some of the folowing.
    Grey Gaduated to bring the sky in.
    Warm up to make it look inviting but this could be done afterwards.
    Neutral density to slow the camera down to make the sea into a foam and timing as it’s not going to be much more that a couple of seconds.
    Oh and a tripod to hols the world still while your camera captures it.

    Suggesting the clutch is failing as it’s ‘slipping slightly’ This doesn’t sound like what happened to the clutch pedal feel and lack of clutch travel, then magically it went away.
    I thought a clutch failed either totally or very very slowly got closer to the ground. A clutch that fixes itself could be worth loads.

    Its under their 12 month used car warranty. If it was new it would all be sorted. Going to ask an independent garage to have a look and confirm. This will allow Skoda UK to get in touch with the dealership and see whats going on.

    Then I have the option to write to both the dealership and my credit card and make them jointly liable for the damage to be put right.

    This is according to Trading standards.

    Don’t want a fight but its coming to this.

    Thanks that makes sense. I’ve called skoda uk and they are looking into it.
    Also spoken to trading standards too.

    wasn’t there something called a PICO cell sold under various names by Vodaphone I think , plugs into your home router as an alternative for when you can’t get signal. Rural Areas or, if your on Tmobile just about everywhere.

    It is Hydro, pumping does seam to improve it a bit but not enough.
    Slightly worried my 7 weeks of Skoda Ownership are about to start really badly.

    inconsistant clutch pedal. 80% it works fine then the bite pint goes towards the floor , never on the floor just off it, and the gear select become very difficult and requires a strong pull. then it goes away again.
    can’t predict it when it’s going to happen. left us at a roundabout dead stuck yesterday.

    I doubt I have anything worth claiming as most of my use of credit cards or bank loans were over 6 years ago.
    Bugger!

    Find something distinctive. On the frame and call your local paper about finding its owner. Coppers bosses hate embarrassment.

    very nice like the texture the lights give. pure white background isn’t important as the subject isn’t an shiney shiney object.

    I’m sure we passed north Leeds in calverley woods during this spring.
    Quite well biked the woods round here. Apart from those churned up by horses.
    I was pleased to see such a collection. Reminds me I need to ride my bike again.

    My apple tv has had xmbc added just wish the content on the drive could appear on the list. Just have no clue how to make it work.

    I’d watch out for the Imax effect with films with lots of movement. The Star trek film was very loose and made me feel a bit sick and some shots were moving so much I was pulling me head back to get away from it. Might be ace, hope it is but IMAX didn’t really work for me.

    Any news on functional maps. Can’t live without it as a reliable source.
    Don’t mind turn by turn missing as long as cities and streets are in the right place.
    Updates like this, when did windows buy apple?

    For a one off project, Hireacamera.co.uk or your local media access centre may lend you kit for free.

    Where are these places.
    If they’re buying even a simple and cheap slr would have video.
    Sound is more critical than vision for presentations. Crain and wobble is called art. Crap sound is unbearable.

    I’m sure it’ll be ok, Missing the first few days of your youngster for the sake of some bits of metal and oil isn’t really up for debate.
    thanks all

    18 months old, you should have a 2 year warranty under eu law, though someone might come along and correct me.

    We were thinking of taking the scissors to a pair but they’re not cheap (tights not scissors)
    It’s odd the between small and extra small and medium is 1 inch different. Here legs are 27inches so even 29s going to look like Norah Battys cycling section. Thanks all

    I usually use just one prime light. That is use the second light to fill or add accent two light mean two sets of shadows and a flat looking lighting setup. Between two lights if your looking at making the product look natural keep one light lower than the other. as a friend said ‘ there is only ever one sun’
    Twin light or flat light is usually reserved for techical/medical eveidence photography rather than advertising.

    I watched impressed by parts of the show but can’t get out of my head which goverment organisation was involved in the crossing of an X Men Character and Fred Dibnah?
