Buddy Rich vs Animal drum battle…

Nice - there are a few digital ones looking for start funding on Readit.

I think this is lovely but it's only an AI Mock-up - however, if developed, take my monies...

I may have mentioned previously but in my test, I made a right turn instead of the left the tester had instructed. :lol: Guess I was just stressed and nervous. The right turn was harder than the left and I executed it, albeit in the wrong direction, perfectly. Besides, I think the tester had already ...

Mr Inbetween always looked good on Social Media clips but never had the channel.

Recently got Disney + through Sky so gave it a go.

Only 2 episodes in but really good. Ray’s the definition of quiet menace


Finished the 3rd series on Sunday - it really is a very good series - hilarious and ...

Yeah I have a 620 too but I really don't use it enough.

I did a load of B&W shots during Covid but I'm really not good at light levels. I keep seeing adds on Instagram for a Light Meter Watch which may be the answer

That Voightlander is awesome...

Exactly Beany. I think US journo’s are giving him too easy a ride. Sure they’re criticising policy and very politely pointing out correct facts but I do wish people would just be more direct.

“Mr President, that is simply not true and anyone who actually believes that… you included… are fvcking ...

Absolutely - it's probably over 100 years old.

I'm not that concerned really if it works - that would be a bonus to be honest. It's more of an ornament and probably the first step on a ruinous Vintage Camera collection.

Next on my list would be a Kodak Brownie box camera as used by Vivian Maier

Amazon Pics is playing silly buggers again so library pic - the condition of mine is very similar

I need to have a proper look at it but mechanically, it seems fine - Shutter release works perfectly as does the "Timed or Instantaneous ...

Not quite DSLR but best thread I can think where else to post this…

I bought myself something I’ve been looking for for years. A Vest Pocket Kodak Model B.

I found it in the Vintage Shop in Newport. I’ve been checking their vintage cameras for years but this is the first time they’ve had it.

I ...

Guardian Long Read about the only ever Female Yakuza... Very interesting...

Yeah I think it was a Mazda 626 where it first appeared so by no means new at all.

do you think you could get it confused if you drive at exactly 42 to 43 miles per hour and sawed at the wheel...

Edit - it was the Honda Pelude in 1987

I still think 4ws is witchcraft.

I always opt for a light blue hue - I find it better when driving at night...

I'm quite similar Zed - apart from the odd Lotto ticket when the euro millions gets high, and 1 bet on the Grand National, I've avoided gambling like the plague.

3 of my brothers are seriously into the horses and there's constant tips being shared in our WhatsApp group but I know if I'd get badly ...

It didn't get great press (IIRC) but I really like Branagh's Poirot films. Orient Express is the best, Death on the Nile is the worst of the three (but still watchable) with A Haunting in Venice as the 2nd best (although it's the other half's favourite)

There was a string of cases in Ireland recently of people being stopped on Sunday and Monday mornings (fairly common trying to catch the "morning after - over the limit" drivers), refusing the breathalyser of having inconclusive breathalyser and being subjected to a blood test.
