My mother lives in Abergele and she was just saying on the phone last night that she could distinctly hear some Genesis drifting over from Wrexham way.

Maybe it was just her neighbour hitting his cat with a guitar?

That'd actually be quite tuneful

I wanted something which would test the range of the new amp & the Sonos stuff. TB certainly does that.

Anyway, give a re-hearing, you'd be surprised.

... & the moment Viv Stanshall says " .... Tubular Bells" and then the "ding-dongs" start is really quite a moment (a good 17 min in, btw)

... AND I've wired the telly up to the amp for good measure.

Ordered an iPad t'other day. Gonna become one of those people.

It's ok, Bobo. I'll let you drone on about your Sonos sound system if I can talk about how wonderful my ipad is

one. One message I've left about that. One.

Your life will be blighted forever now & you'll become another who's supped with the Devil.

Oh don't you worry. One will too surge into a barrage.

I looked the Devil in the eye, shook hands with him and he gave me free video conferencing software, so there you go.

Anyone know owt about waterproof cameras? Looking to get one for the upcoming holiday. Will use it whilst snorkelling and for general point and shoot use. Currently looking at the Canon D20 and the Olympus TG1. Both seem to be decent without spending ridiculous money. Anyone with experience of them, or things to look out for?

Cheers...

There'll be some, though being a chicken shit, I'll watch them from the safety of our deck I think

remember to wash them off coz the saltwater knacks the rubber seals and even taints parts of the metal if yr not careful, never go rushing to DL the pictures- always give it chance to dry coz of the salt before opening the usb port or removing the sd card. and dont go too deep, as long as they dont get water in, it should last.

also, pentax do one and have done for ages , and panasonic lumix do 'em now too.

some folk like the "shell" things but the two ^ i looked at were 'only' sub-£200 . so the shell things might be too expensive, when you can just replace the 'specificly built to be waterproof' ones.

I've got a Sony Cybershot with a "shoot underwater in natural colours with housing" feature. I'm assuming the housing is something you buy, but doubt I'll be chancing it anyway.

Thanks a1. I'll be sure to be careful with it. The ones I'm looking at go to 10m, which to be fair would probably mean I've drowned! I'll be bobbing around the surface trying to find Nemo mainly

I think I'd prefer one without housing. Just seems a bit less faff to just pick the camera up and jump in. I'd also be worried in case I didn't close the housing properly. I have an old Canon G3 which was fantastic and an old Olympus OM10 SLR, so feel more comfortable sticking with those brands unless there is some compelling reason to go with something else.

Just bought and fitted a Sky wi-fi connector to my Sky box. Totally transforms the On Demand side of the box. Instead of a dozen or so films previously available I now have access to a back catalogue of over 700 films, box sets and all the catch-up channels too. Cost just £21 direct from the Sky website.

Apologies if this sounds like an advert for Sky but this is the best £21 I've spent in ages!
