I am a late 60's child, lived in Cronk-y-voddy for a lot then moved to Kirk Micheal, we always had a lot of freedom. In fact my parents would worry if we were home before it was dark. Have recently moved to a little village in Essex and my son is out all day long playing. Obs paranoid parent these days and he has a good CB radio to keep in touch but it is rather ace watching kids play in the streets playing kerby or setting up a race course for their bikes. And 80's music is shite

I did note that the BBC showed footage of Hamas firing rockets from a school this evening. I think that's the bravest the Beeb have ever been in this vile carrying on that both sides are guilty of. ETA: That was very quickly brushed over though.

The BBC at it's best (i'm assuming it's not to offend more touchy religions). What I don't get is what random mortars, qazzam rockets, suicide bombings and recent abductions and murder of children (and they were children(and I'm dubious of the revenge murders too)) are they meant to do? Jeez, I was just up the road when this herbert killed himself with two taps to the noggin from a 9mm, wasn't a good time to be a manx lad with an english accent I can tell you. What I'm trying to say is - aren't the Palestinians trying to bring on their own bloodshed with a hard bastard that won't back down but if you keep on bombing is we'll stand up to the mark and have it with you? Surely there is a time to talk and surely the religion of peace can have a word with the hotheads of their peaceful background that don't want world domination and just want to grow some ace olives to sit down and have a word with the other hotheads of the other religion that just want to grow oranges. Second thoughts, this is the way the world can unite. Major problem with the honeybee at the moment, major problem with that area of the world. Joint effort, save the bee. Nowt Jewish, nowt Isreali, nowt Muslim, nowt Palestinian. They could save us. Maybe we could do a ManxForums effort. Save the bee, save the ongoing Isreali/Palestinian conflict. I'll leave it to you lot to get a better catch phrase. Word

I liked this piece , sums up the side of the fence I'm sitting on.

I know she did so much more but;

The New Statesman was beyond ace and here is quite a relevant quote; Alan B'Stard:

There used to be a MF meets real life thread in the subscribers forum that Mish had met, it has gone sadly.

I admit I don't know anywhere enough from the previous writings, but does this sound ominous? Calling bluffs and stuff? >>click<< Good read though

Ooh I like that.

Here's the colour version, still prefer it in Black & White though.

I get one and two but what is exposure? I keep everything on auto owing to the fact that I'm a bit of a numpty regarding photography terms. Is it because there was a bright light making my boy glow a bit compared to the background? Tis a dark art repeating a photo that you like. Hope I can repeat it again though. I suppose my basic question is and in the simplest terms possible, what makes a good photo? I've had a play around with post processing and the camera has a built in HDR effect but this one was just a photo with everything on auto. If that makes sense.

Took this picture of my son whilst we were a little bit lost in Shoreditch and it really works for me; What I want to know is, what did I do right to make this a good photo that I'm really proud of rather than just another picture of my boy? All I've done is change it to black & white and everything was on auto on the camera. If you like this photo then tell me why so that all of my pictures end up this way. Ta, lots

Seeing these lot on 12 Feb Saarffend! Bring it.
