    What a way to start my week....

    To be honest, so long as you avoid the Southmead estate itself, it's not that bad, although the nightly combinations of fire/police/ambulances racing down Southmead Road was not much fun - personally, I'd recommend Henleaze as being close to Westbury and not too bad - unless you want to pay the...

    What a way to start my week....

    Right first time - I'm an ex-Meader (except my postal address was Westbury-On-Trym)

    What a way to start my week....

    ... Except I've only got third party insurance - I wasn't sure if the windows were covered for vandalism, so phoned up this morning to find out. And it's not, so that's me out of pocket for a new window. Out of curiousity, I just tried reaching through the window to get into the glove box and it...

    What a way to start my week....

    It was reported as soon as I found out it had happened - even spoke to the insurance company (knowing that would be fruitless). I'm not really expecting anything to be done about it, although I guess we might get a visit from the local community bobby. I'm just ****ed off more than anything at...

    What a way to start my week....

    Close enough - it's a line in feed and the power cable for my TomTom. If nothing else, I guess I could use the cracked glass for trying my hand at a bit of macro work and getting photos of patterns and stuff.... They've not even tried to get into the car - just smashed the window. And I found...

    What a way to start my week....

    From what I've heard mine's not the only car that's been done - at least 2 more have had their windows smashed in somewhere around here :S Ya know, if they'd stolen something I'd find it a bit easier to accept - as it is it was just mindless vandalism....

    What a way to start my week....

    Woke up this morning to find someone had decided to smash in my passenger window in my car. Definitely not a good start to this week. 20 years of living in one of the worst areas in Bristol and only 2 incidents, then move up to Leeds two months ago and it's already costing me a lot more to...

    Self Conscious Photography

    I started out feeling that way until a very helpful photographer took his time to explain the best way to take photos of the cars doing laps at Castle Combe. Most 'togs I've run into have been very helpful and made loads of suggestions to help, rather than laughed at my 1000D with the Sigma...

    Getting my work online (at last)

    Guys, I'm not sure if this is the right (or more likely, wrong!) place for posting this question, but I'm wondering if anyone out there can offer me some advice... I've finally taken the leap and (temporarily) retired my Canon 1000D in favour of a much swankier Canon 50D, along with a lens...

    Name me some LEGENDARY songs please.

    Different legends for different people - I've not heard of half the stuff that other people have mentioned, so I could apply the same logic :woot:

    Name me some LEGENDARY songs please.

    Since most of the songs suggested so far seem to be of the guitar driven variety it's time to add a little more electronica and industrial to the list.... Ministry - Jesus Built My Hot Rod (White Line/Red Line Mix) Front Line Assembly - Plasticity (Zero by Haujobb) Covenant -...

    Is there a track you can repeatedly listen to.

    I don't think that is cheating to be honest, but then again I'm a DJ myself, so understand that one - so I'll present my answer.... Shpongle - Nothing Lasts.... But Nothing Is Lost.... Ok, we run into the same problem as Tiesto - In Seach Of Sunrise 7 here. The entire album is written and...

    Importing CDs to iTunes....

    It could be worse.... I really need to transfer all my vinyl to the computer at some point - at least with CD you don't have to rip things at real time....

    Practical jokes, let's hear about your's.

    Ya know if you boil a condom you can fit it over a telephone box? Kept a mate of mine trapped in one for about 4 hours after he had passed out in it drunk!

    Tell me something I don't know!

    I used to be a dancer for nightclubs - came off the back of a podium thanks to a drunken idiot that decided he wanted to dance there - I came down face first onto the edge of podium and shattered almost all of my teeth because my mouth was open at the time (I think it was the "Oh Shi...." that I...
