Finished HomeFront tother week. Not a long game in single play.
waiting for Batman: Arkham City.
Dig out BF2 for some online mayhem.

good luck. get some barista training and learn how not to make burnt bitter tasting coffee, if the coffee is top notch people will seek you out.
i have a friend who has to drive to manchester from london a fair bit and he goes out of his way to stop here:http://www.wearecoffeefix.com/
a few british cycling athletes stop there on their training rides too.

Barista in my local coffee shop goes out training people as well working shifts in other coffee shops getting more experience & ideas. I’m getting to enjoy drip coffee now along with the usuall espresso & flat whites.
.
Gareth at CoffeeFix is great. Makes a mean flat White & was prepared to wait open for me when I was in Manchester picking a car up. Didn’t get there till 6:30 but made me & my kids more than welcome.

We use Fujitsu Celcius workstations now. They fit the bill.
The W280 is current fave.

I’m using a QNAP TS210. Works a treat. 2 x 1.5TB disks mirrored. Can see it from pc and the mac. Web management tha works from the iPad plus an app for the iPhone to stream the media to it.

The ‘girl’ in Mighty Mites used to present Tikkabilla. She is also a contortionist which might score some points in a tiebreaker

The only reason to watch Tikkabilla

Might have to kick my son off his xbox and have a go at this 😉

Had my GF1 for just over a year.
The fact its totally manual or fully automatic.
You can buy adapters to take all manner of manual lens from Nikon, canon etc etc.
Grum will be along soon to post some of his stunning pics and SFB will no doubt be along to say dont bother etc etc 😉

Its capable of taking very good pics and its a mean job in movies as well. Just need bigger SD cards for movies.

Saw it at weekend with my lad.
Very nice CGI and the ever so lovely Olivia Wilde.
Just a pity they overlooked the story.
Cracking soundtrack & cameo by Daft Punk.

But i still enjoyed it.

Looking across the bay to the lakes this morning, lots of white on the ground.
Though the forecast for the weekend is 8c and rain.
Twas -9c just north of Carnforth this morning.

Got one a while back.
Brilliant for the “instant on”
Our laptop has become redundant now.
Camera Connector Kit is great for importing pics and then there are a load of post-processing apps that work well, FilterStorm being one of the best.

Gonna give it a crack. My excuse is that the MS makes shaving a pain.

so the packaging is important ? I prefer to grind freshly roasted beans from a shop here in Lancaster…

Another Atkinsons fan then.
Try the Espresso Lusso from there.

Ive got a KHS XC-604 that i keep meaning to stick on the classifieds. ’09 model, used 4 times off road. In excellent condition.
Will get round to doing an advert tonight me thinks.

Well spotted. Need some pics for the new kitchen/dinner on canvas.

Well done. Just wish the buggers had liked a few more of my Midland Hotel pics 😉

Nice asking for the “Luxury room” as well.

We were a week away from swapping our Lunar for a new Bailey Pegasus 534, then the damn DVLA revoked/refused my license due to my medication.
Kids love it in the van. They have fixed bunkbeds with lights and windows.
Site we stayed on this summer for 2 weeks was great. they could ride their bikes round and generally be kids. Big field for football, 2 pools, night time entertainment, it was great.

Have to see how things go regards getting my license back as to wether we keep the van or not.
Wife doesnt mind towing esp. with the freelender, lot better than the CRV was.

Im on the hunt for a decent espresso machine.
Rancilio is current fave, though hoping i can get a SanRemo ex-demo unit at a reasonable price.

Not just me having a crap time then.
letter arrived last week from the DVLA telling me i’m not allowed to drive due to my medication for MS.
time to start the fight to get the license back.

Kids love to watch it as well

What wheel do people recommend for the likes of the PS3?

Love Burnout, great to just drive round crashing into cars for fun.
Plus Burnout on the PSP is even better for the crashes 😀

When they gave them a dslr and they were using it in live view like a compact I turned over to the simpsons.

Got one last week. 32Gb 3G + wifi as well as the Camera Connector Kit.
The CCK was the big seller as iPad supports raw file from my GF1.
Got useful apps on it like Wyse Pocketcloud and Angry Birds for keeping the kids quiet.
Handy as well to take away in the tin tent.

Saw that yesterday as i was walking through town. Should be interesting to see what they have and how they compare to Edge and Leisure Lakes.

Thats a lot lot easier now.

Im very tempted for the 27" iMac if my money comes through.
Dont play games anymore just do photostuff.

Love the caravan for holidays. Got sick of packing away a wet tent so we upgraded. Now looking at upgrading to a new "fixed bed" caravan.

Towing wise, the van weighs 1370kg(inc 250kg for user payload). Last year we towed with a petrol CRV auto. dire does not do it justice. The Auto box was horrific, never knew what gear to be in. We averaged around 18mpg on a trip down to the New Forest and back(600 miles towing + around 500mile driving about the place), plus we started with a full tank and had to fill up on the drive down. Faster gauge when towing is the fuel gauge.

This year we towed with a Freelander TD4 auto. 27mpg on the way down and 25mpg on the way back(cruise control set @55mph and we drove through the night). Freelander did the trip down on 3/4's of a tank which was better and a lot more relaxing to drive.

regards Handbrake, leave the video to H.264, on the audio tab, set mixdown to Stero.
Been a while since i last used Handbrake.

shoei – where is that? looks beautiful

As Grum said, it's a Church in Heysham, Lancashire.
Slighty different as i shot with a 720nm IR filter on the camera.

Grum, your pic is brill. It just works. Wouldnt look out of place as an advert.

This ugly enough? 🙂

Palm Pre does Push email fro Exchange. Set it up on some one at works phone. they were most happy.

Will look at some shimano shifters then, see if i can get some 8 speed twist or rapid fire.

Here's the beastie. Took a few mins to get used to starting, but fun once going.

My iPhone has gone from 95% to 27% charge in about 10 hours but I have spent most of the day on web/Twitter/facebook/music and phone. Luckily I have a 3G/Edge connection from the hospital bed.
Was curious to how long desire lasts on a charge as that's an option when I come to renew my phone. Either that or the iPhone 4G

Got a Tilley hat for my birthday. Brilliant thing. As mentioned keeps sun of the balding head and dry when it rains.
Used to wear baseball caps, but ended up getting tops of my ears burnt and my neck.

Pricey but well worth it.
