With a listing description like that, I'm amazed it didn't sell

R.I.P

I managed to see many of my guitar heroes live in concert last year including Eric Clapton (twice), Jeff Beck (twice), Slash, John Mayer, B.B. King, Ronnie Wood and Albert Lee.

Admittedly, an edit...

Happy Birthday fellas!

Hope you had great birthday matey!

Lovely jubbly matey.

Best of luck to Sheila mate!

Picked up a mint Sony A700 for £280 a few weeks ago in used camera shop, they're still selling for roughly £500 second hand. Quite chuffed with it, and it performs much better than the A200. Now I just need the money for one of these beauties... http://www.dyxum.com/lenses/Minolta-AF-400-F4.5-HS-APO-G_lens22.html

If you read the original document, you'll see that one of the main, new initiatives for all three branches of the forces is to defend the UK and its South Atlantic Territories. Argentina won't be laying a finger on the Falklands again in a hurry.

I would be begin by rounding up all the benefit scroungers who can't be arsed to get a job and one by one, punch them straight in the face. See how they like it. Anyways, not even going to comment on the decisions made, some of them beggar belief. However if anyone is interested in reading up on this travesty from the horse's mouth, here's the SDSR... http://www.direct.gov.uk/prod_consum_dg/groups/dg_digitalassets/@dg/@en/documents/digitalasset/dg_191634.pdf

I'm surprised Alice Cooper wasn't in there already. Good to see Bon Jovi there, Richie Sambora deserves recognition.

I use a Sony A200, with the stock 18-70mm kit lens, a Tamron 70-300mm and a Minolta 70-210mm F4 Beercan. Went for Sony in the first place due to the plethora of old Minolta AF lenses available, that share the alpha mount.

Every now and again you see something a little bit sneaky on Flight Radar 24, the other night I watched an Omni Air 767 going into Shannon, from "somewhere" in the middle east.

I would have no problem with him being kicked the f*ck out of the country. He's not some stupid kid, he's an adult, he should have known better and there's no excuse for what he did.

Wait, your sons get to wear polo shirts to school? Completely not fair at all, shirt and tie every day for 13 years was not fun at all, especially when it was hot in summer.

This is simply more hot air wafting from O'Leary. He's done it dozens of times before, and he won't stop doing it. Why you say? Everytime he says something that is deemed unorthodox or tabboo in the world of airline travel, the media screams their heads off until their blue in the face about it.This translates into completely free advertising him. He knows exactly what he's doing, and to be fair, it's working quite well for him so far seeing as Ryanair is the largest low cost airline in Europe, (even beating Queesyjet) and the third largest airline in Europe based on pax numbers alone. The thing to remember with Ryanair is if you can get away with using them as ruthlessly as they operate, i.e. short hop flights, no baggage; quick on and off, then they're great because they're dirt cheap. However this is not the airline you book with if you want a nice, relaxing, trouble free start to a family holiday.

Happy Birthday Mike!

I want 12 ponies. Now.

Uploaded by LM yesterday, this was a bit of a surprise.

That article has stated some very bizarre ideas... I highly doubt the J model Hercs will be retired at all, they're only 10 years old. No doubt they will work alongside the A400M when it arrives in service. I do not see the GR4/4A being got rid of, they would lose one of their best all weather, day and night ground reconnaissance assets, not to mention it's ground attack capability. Same goes for the Nimrod MRA4, not only will it delivery all sorts of recon capability, but like has been said, the Government have already ploughed so much money into the program, it would be foolish to back out now. (Especially seeing as the RAF have already taken delivery of one) A couple of things in this article were even more remarkable... 107 Typhoons at a single base? That's just absurd. Not happening. What twat thought that up? But this last one made me chuckle the most... That won't go down too well with either unit. I have to say though, I've been impressed with how the RAF have managed to acquire "special" assets under the radar and generally keep publicity to a minimum, their Shadow R.1's, Diamond Twin Stars and Britten-Norman Defenders spring to mind.

For anyone in the UK, I highly recommend the Gurkha museum in Winchester.
