Haha, totally worth it. It was Dan Ko punching me in the face that hurt! hehe. Here's what you left on the skip: Who needs veet, when you've got a skip? Also, proof that suntan lotion really does work! Again, thanks to Sue & Charlie and everyone that came, was a cracking day.

Original.

That was jaw-droppingly good. Eccentric dropouts.

Yup! I'm heavily into "oldie" stuff - love David Bowie, Supertramp, Steve Miller-Band (my favourite!), Bob Dylan, Finly Quaye. Dunno how "poppy" that is.

Not for long! I'm not, and I didn't take it (searched for it quickly..), but that is the image you get with a Peleng on a 1.6 crop camera.

Yeah Shaun, that was with the peleng. Joe's got the Nikon 10.5mm fish. I've had the peleng and the zenitar. On a 1.6X crop it's barely fishy at all, maybe worth having, but it's really not that fishy at all. Edit: Shot with the peleng, with the field of view given by the zenitar marked in.

^ Lol. If your pc doesn't have a firewire port, buy a firewire card. http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=44929

Look at it like a tap to back wheel. If you landed on back wheel, no matter how high, but abubacad off, you wouldn't've made it - simple as.

When my IOLO got robbed last summer, I borrowed my mates bike (my old echo control) and after one ride, I couldn't walk due to smashing my thighs on the bars. Well random, 'cause it wasn't that much different. Yeah Joe, I'd also go with the recommendation for narrower bars. I'm running my Zoo's 2.5" narrower than normal, it should mean you're not leaning forward so much. It's mainly down to technique, so try just.. not hitting the bars. Oh, and you're not growing, don't be silly lil' Joe.

Yeah, mine was a bit of a b*****d to do. I'd recommend using GT85 or similar, if not for the lubricating properties, but it also has a nicer feel to water. I'd suggest bleeding it as you would normally, then close the caliper end up, and leave it to hang with the syringe/lever end at the top. Keep tapping it, and pumping the lever slowly, and all the air will rise up and out the system.

Neither of you made it. Shut up.

Did you stick it Dave?

It's a shame it was organised to late - I've made other commitments that day. Merthyr is really good, no worries there!

Bothered to uninstall + reinstall camera drivers? Or even better, just get a card reader..

Head lean for make height.

Don't be too confidence inspired by the whole "she's got a webcam thing", there are webcam emulators available pretty easily you know. Good luck!

Erm nah, that's just the effect an ultrawide can give... Barrel distortion is when straight lines have a small amount of curve. (Not desirable in a rectilinear lens)

Some cool pics. I'd switch the manual white balance to auto - it'll be a lot more reliable. Also seems like you're using too slow-a shutter speed, 1/80s doesn't really cut it. Since most of them were around f/8 - f/9 ish, you could easily have gotten away with 1/200s shutter speed with a larger aperture.

Tristan, why didn't you send it to america like I told you? I did say evolution would charge you...

Hey guys. Looks like I may be in need of a lift up to Blackpool on Saturday/Sunday. If anyone's going, or can go up the M5, past worcester, with a free seat, then let me know!
