    withdrawal symptoms

    To put it simply Say you can earn £10k a year before you have to pay tax however the pension they give you is £11k so immediately they pay you...you have to fill out a tax return form and pay them back some of what they just paid you. :)

    How to mess up your pictures (or using a light box) :-)

    TBH a good phone camera is better and easier for website pictures than a DLSR but the problem is with them for anything else is the lens. My mate was showing me how wonderful his iPhone 93 or something was the other day, with a hugely colourful macro shot of a flower...but all i could see was...

    How to mess up your pictures (or using a light box) :-)

    its basically in the reflection but its far worse on Black or in this case dark blue so at the other extreme, it not going to show nearly as bad on gloss white. Its interesting to see the seat reflected in the fuel tank in that picture,,

    How to mess up your pictures (or using a light box) :-)

    MHF Crocker FINISHED

    "Easy Pickins"

    Very impressive steve, I particularly like the ivy on the fence. you have completely sold me on the idea of bases, i have only ever done one for my Bugatti a while back and i have to say it was as much fun as building the car, mainly i think because you can let your imagination go and you are...
