    That Derren Brown "Push" programme

    Anyone else watch this, this week? The basic premise was that he created a scenario where someone could go from meeting someone to killing them within an hour. Set around a fictional charity event, he used the "lobster in a boiling pot" approach to manipulate someone into potential murder. I...

    WCMUT....what cheered me up today

    Just got into MTB riding, and went for a lunchtime dash today. Great fun and left me grinning. (and wet)

    Canon Lens Advice

    One option is the sigma 17-70mm f2.4-4 OS(IS). I loved that lens, and only got shut when I moved to L glass. Getting one of the Tamron super zoom lenses is ok, but IQ will inevitably suffer

    paying up front for services

    I've never paid a tradesman upfront, other than providing materials. Why would I? They soon lose interest when they have the money, and it becomes excuse after excuse. Nothing sharpens the mind like waiting to be paid.

    The Going To The Cinema & General Film Thread

    I have to say I didn't enjoy the theory of everything - focused a bit too much on what he couldn't do, versus what he could in the first third.

    Have to say I love being creative with my iPhone camera as much as my DSLRs. I like the restrictions ;-)

    The Going To The Cinema & General Film Thread

    Went to see "Joy" at Cineworld a few days ago. Was pretty enjoyable. Whilst it's not the most exciting topic ever, it made a change to watch a film that wasn't some sort of fantasy for the film maker about sex drugs or violence.

    ladybower reservoir

    Was there yesterday morning - an incredible amount of water going over the top at Derwent. Crazy noise as well. You can walk right up to the right hand turret to get up close. Hard to imagine where all that water goes really but it's all very well managed. Quick shot from the iPhone attached.

    Trumping

    The problem I have with Trump is that the main motivation for him is personal success. He's nowhere near altruistic enough to be a good president. Obama is toothless due to the political stalemate for passing legislation, and he just seems to be coasting really. Trump's views are repugnant to...

    I'd got wind of it being a joke, yes.
