Yep, arrived on these fair shores (Bangor) in september - wife dragged me over and quite liking the place although the house prices are cazy.

Yep you need more than the kit lens for sure! wideangle I went for the canon 10-22 which is fabulous lens but must admit a bit more pricey than the sigma 10-20 that a lot of people on here rave about. telephoto I went for the sigma 70-300. which has had lots of use and gotten me good...

SLI was developed mainly for GPU power hungary games so no you wouldn't see any difference with another card in SLI for PS. + it only gives you .25 better performance! you'd think it would be double but no, in benchmark tests it was (at best) adding about a quarter better performance. On...

To be fair if they are a business and declare the sales that they make they have to charge VAT - if they dont, they'll have to pay it out of their own pocket. So the guys that do this are doing so because its the law :rules: . However this is of course open to abuse as they may just be doing...

Firstly I wouldn't rush into it. there are loads fo people that can do you a website, in fact you'd be surprised what you can do yourself just by following tutorials online. Or get a template and tweak it for your own tastes especailly if have PS (clicky). And you can get hosting for under...

A word of warning about rome and some of thier hotels!!!!! When my wife and I went a few years back we booked direct to a hotel not far from the railway station, we got email confirmation of the booking etc but on arrival they said they never had our booking and were fully booked but...

AVG is the personal AV of choice. gets good reviews (although is slipping in the rankings) and as you wanted "free". be carefull on the download as it'll try to trick you into getting the full version which isn't as free. Firewall: How do you connect to the net, through a router/modem? If...

After your recommendations please. Currently I have a 400d with Cannon 10-22, kit 18-55, sigma 70-300 APO. As my wife has kindly said she'd buy get me whatever camera equipment I want (within reason, which I would say max £250) At first I thought flash, but as I rarely use the built in flash...

I was told never to use one of those rod sharpner things on global, only use a wetstone. The rod "thing" that global do is meant for chefs that would need a quick fix during the working day. Wetstone or nothing he told me, oh and only 1 person to ever sharpen them too as that can screw it up as...

Sound to me you've unwittingly activated some spyware on your PC. Using IE? (I would say yes) best thing I can suggest (and would recommend to anyone else who doesnt use it) to Download and use firefox. Much better browser and where most of the "improvements" for IE7 came from (tabbed browsing...

Looks good. Although the page fails the valid XHTML 1.0 (image/logo at bottom) Sorry, being a web developer I always click them to ensure it complies with the standard it is associated with.

Brand wise you've nothing to fear from either LG or samsung I have a smasung 930bf for about 18 months which is crystal clear and looks fab. LG are also a very good brand and I would class them a big player in the hardware market. Not too sure about LG's warrenty but I remember the samsung...

:agree: that'll do as long as you don't throw a litre of the stuff of the spray on it you wont damage the screen at all.

As soon as I think of shape I think of a load of rubiks cubes arranged in a circle :cuckoo: bin a long day

well I bought a cheapo one off fleabay (£2.99 iirc) and I've no need to switch to any mode on the 400d, works as soon as I plug it in and to my amazement it is two stage click so can have it on auto focus which is great. me thinks you may have a moody one.
