Hi, Sorry! When I first heard about the accident I assumed that because the cab and 'back bit' were different colours that it was a container on the back and that it was coming from a ferry port or something. Probably because I have lived in Zambia too long and got used to 'hard sided' large...

Hi, Thanks for your comments, and encouragement. Steve, that made me smile about the mirrors - she says that she feels it must have been going VERY fast as she had not noticed it approaching at all ;) and suddenly she saw it behind her *tailgating*. She aparently had just said to her...

Hi, Thanks for the replies and suggestions - that will give us somewhere to start. Yes that bit puzzled me too - I asked if she was sure that it was articulated and not a very big truck. It did overtake and they reckon it must have damage on both sides as it bounced off a wall, or...

Hi, A long shot, but worth a try: my friend's car was written off this week in a "fail to stop" when a lorry tried to overtake her on a narrow road near Spalding in Lincolnshire and realised too late that s/he was going too fast to do so successfully. As the lorry had come up behind them...

Hi, Thanks for that - it makes interesting reading - and I definitly seem to have a case - it is not similar - some pages are identical. Question is now whether he will come quietly! Liz

Hi, I have become aware that someone has copied my website with HTTrack Website Copier and has now uploaded it to the internet as their own - mine was already off-line when I became aware there might be problems but it seems he had already captured it. I have emailed the man last weekend -...

Hi, I have a Samsung N220 which I :love: It's used for browsing the internet and I also have Office 2007 loaded (mostly use PPT and Word). Also I download all my photos onto it while I'm away from home but I only edit them in Picasa - I'm not sure it would appreciate having PSE...

Another vote for Picasa - it's really simple to use but very effective! :thumbs:

Hi, If you plan to travel anywhere in London - definitely get an Oyster Card - it makes travel much cheaper and you can use it as a PAYG and top it up easily all over the place. Here's a link with more info. Transport for London Have a great trip! :thumbs: Liz

:clap: Congratulations Cameron! I know very little about photography but lots about cats :love: (hence my user name!) :love: - and even the most domesticated cat rarely does what you want it to do for very long - the pictures are really good and you've caught them in some great poses...

:thumbs: Yes, there is masses to see! I stay in Assisi :love: several times a year and still find plenty of places to explore. Definitely visit the Cascata delle Mamore (Waterfalls) but it's best to check the opening hours first. When I've been out there in June it has never rained...

Hi Simon, :) Umbria is amazing - a bit like Tuscany but quieter and every bit as beautiful. There are lots of little hilltop towns / villages. Not to miss: Assisi - much of the town has been restored since the earthquake which devatsed the area in '97 and makes for excellent photo...

Hi Julian, Back in the 80's I was, for very different reasons, in a position where people went out of their way to help me, a stranger, I was very uncomfortable about it, not least because I felt that I was in the spotlight which I hated. But the reality was that I needed help (alone...

:thumbs:

Hi, I completely agree about Elements :thumbs: I have PSE8 and it's brilliant. Much cheaper and does everything and more I could possibly need - yet! However, to answer your question, it is my 16 year old nephew who has taught me how to use it :lol: He was given a copy of Photoshop and...
