Lexi has come up to me and says "naaaaaow"

The current interpretation of "naaaaaow" is that a lap is required to sit on.

Splitting hairs - it should be obvious what I meant. Some people may have had to put themselves out a bit to get the vaccine, and some were also poorly for a few days after. Ok not a big sacrifice, but the point was people who reap the benefits (e.g. herd immunity), but but don't do anything themselves, or actively scorn those who do
I don't think the vaccine has any benefits. It was rushed, barely tested and clearly doesn't prevent people form catching COVID-19.

A walk on Kinder Scout. A plateau I am very familiar with having been up there well into three figures. This was Tuesday for those wondering about the weather!

Indee. Trust is one of those things that is personal between two people. Whether it's trusting the GLW's integrity on being in charge of the bank accounts, or the instructor on my VNA abseil course refresher when he tells you that all the equipment will work and you trust yourself to use the friction brake at the right moment as you are rapidly approaching the floor. :okay:
You used a brake!!

Cool! :becool:

Sad to say, other than scanning the slides and negatives I acquire for my motor racing archive, I haven't worked with film since 2003... :blush: The declining quality (a lot of squeaky bum moments there), as well as the rising cost of lab-based processing had a lot to do with the decision to go digital - rather irritating when you're dropping off 10 or 15 rolls of film off at a time. And deadlines, oh yes... That was a killer, too...

I shot mainly 400 ISO Fuji, which is almost the complete opposite. :laugh:

Plus digital has all the benefits of shooting colour transparency without the drawbacks.
Respect. I rarely photograph things that move, apart from family and cats. I’m fortunate not to rely on it for a living. My saxophone pub gigs used to pay for subsidise my lens based work but we all know how that‘s turned out since 2020. I did sell two lovely photograms that paid for a Rolleiflex older than my dad so that was nice.

Not all racing cars move terribly quickly. And cats are just as unpredictable as racing cars... :laugh:

I did a 10 year stint as a snappy and journalist for various motorsport publications. :blush:
 
That a tin Snail? if it is thats a contradiction in terms. :laugh:

Yep!

A very memorable 24 hour race in which the paddock flooded, I spent part of the night in the commentary booth with Alan Hyde, sharing the only (by then) working heater, and where I ran out of dry clothes somewhere around 4 am.

It took some of my gear nearly a week to dry out after that...
