Net Rage
Re: Net Rage
I would like some Honesty seeds Shirley. I have at last managed to get Cuckoo flower to grow, in a tub away from the blasted slugs!
Susie, I'm not going to rise to the bait. I won't sleep if I get all wound up, but I will say that I think that blood sports are cruel.

Garlic Mustard is doing fine thanks Susie. I'm looking forward to having some Orange-tip larvae in the spring

Re: Net Rage
Just cos it is cruel doesn't mean it couldn't be fun. But I won't wind you up, we can agree to disagree on this one.
Glad to hear that your Cuckoo Flower (Lady's Smock) is doing well.
Honesty seeds are so pretty, I have left mine on the plant so far as I love the round papery discs.

Re: Net Rage
I heard about this berry thing. I have always picked blackberries. Around here the brambles are so deep that there's no way that anyone could get the berries in the middle, even the most arduous and thick skinned picker. There's always plenty enough left for the bird life to leave purple droppings everywhere. In fact I've seen them rotting on the bramble this year and last (the berries, that is, not the birds ).
This year, the season is already nearly over around Brizzle with the maggots filling out on the remaining fruit. This means that birds get a welcome hit of protein as well as fructose and other carbohydrates.
If people want to protect the environment, stop Labour's wholesale plundering of green belt land for housing.

Oh dear!
Perhaps I should regurgitate that blackberry and apple crumble I had and put it back where I found them!
And what should I do with the Blackberry Jelly my son made? March him to the nearest Police Station I suppose!

Re: Net Rage
I think that if we take action to maintain corridors and manage our urban areas more sympathetically, it is possible to combine building more houses with improving the areas that we leave for wildlife overall. There are places in the centres of our towns like parks and public gardens where (and I guess I am thinking more about butterflies than anything else - but most other things benefit too!) meadows and different habitats could be maintained at a similar cost to lawns and flower beds, I would guess.eccles wrote: If people want to protect the environment, stop Labour's wholesale plundering of green belt land for housing.

Re: Net Rage - the Sequel: Net Rage II
Come on then!
Let's form a line....DSLR on one side; non-DSLR the other..
(Rosy/Susie (I just can't keep up!) - Hope you can keep the book and sell tickets for the follow-on? Gruditch looks a big lad, so I'm glad he's on the right team!)
Let us start with....
DSLRs -
How much? £#**#!
And then you pay (how much? £#**#) for each lens?
And you don't have IS-in body? (Yeah, yeah Eccles)
And it weighs, how much? #**#!
And you still have to set all the buttons yourself?
whereas
Compacts -
Cheap with IS in-body and
It's got 16 lovely scene modes
It's light and easy to use...
But aren't they noisy little buggers? Can't go above ISO100....if you don't want snow!
And only f/what? f/11 if you are lucky?
And call that a lens? A 28-300 "all-things-to-all-men" and a digital zoom too!

Re: Net Rage
Photographs like television, add on the pounds, and height in this case, I'm actually a short arse, who weighs less then seven stone, oh and a pacifist. Well not really a pacifist and quite a bit more than seven stone, but still a short arse.NickB wrote:Come on then!

But if we are to fight, I think divide and conquer would be a good plan, so three sides.
The Mighty DSLR's, that's us, The Poxy Bridger's, the guys who went out to get a DSLR but ended up in Jessops, where the spotty assistant, who usually works in Burger King, talked them into a Bridge. And The Tight Ass Compactors, the guys who found their camera after pulling a Christmas cracker.

There was a young man from Nantucket
Whose **** was so long he could **** it;
He said with a grin,
Whilst wiping his chin ~
"If my ear was a **** i could **** it !!"

Re: Net Rage
Likewise. My first proper boyfriend was 6'5" tall, size 14 feet. The man I chose to marry and have been happily married to for the last 15 years is only 5'8" tall but so much more man.Annie wrote:Jack - a long time ago I dated a chap who was 6'10" - he had very, very large feet but there seemed to be some sort of inverse correlation between these and his, erm, um, earsjackharr wrote:Gruditch wrote that he is a:Ladies.

Utimately, like most things in life though and particularly camera equipment, it is not what you have but how you use it which counts.
