Sorry for being a little late with the Staithes thing but I've been away all week. We were at Staithes for New year 2007 and that's the reason we are going back to the area and Whitby this year, to explore some more of this beautiful part of the country. A couple of images I took back then, although I perhaps should add that I used to 'mess about' with images far more then than I do now:

I'll never tire of the view on the first pic. Cracking photo by the way Clappers. Out of interest, where was the second shot taken from?

[Bruce Rioja]

Absolutely fantastic pics of a quintessentially stunning English fishing village and one of my favourite places on Earth. I just can't work out for the life of me how he got them.

[Gooner Girl]

Great Pictures! Especially the first.

On a different note, tonight I managed to call my brothers new-ish (6 months relationship?) girlfriend by his old girlfriends name. Not the brightest thing I have done all week...

Don't worry about it - you'll do it again, at least once, usually three times in total. It'll happen because you're more worried about it than anyone else, including your brother's new-ish girlfriend. Really, don't worry about it.

[boltonboris]

Fantastic images. Proper talent you've got there pal.

Speaking from experience are we Bruce?!

Well, the first one was easy. As you enter the village just before the line of fishermans cottages (and we were staying in the second one) on the left, there's a little headland no bigger than six feet square that gives a perfect vantage point right over the river. This was the first week of the year and although I must have spent four or five hours over several days on this little square I struggled to get the available light and the tide right, as you can see. The second was from right at the end of the jetty beyond the lifeboat station. Yeah, it looks in both that I am airborne, but I wasn't. I'll see if I can update the pictures when there again in a couple of weeks.

[Burnden Paddock]

The second looks to be too far out from the end of the jetty, as I recall it. Then again, the last time I was on that spot was 34 years ago.

Not quite, but I was right at the end and didn't get wet.

Yes, and it's an honest fact thingy. I meet loads of people and whereas I'm brill with faces I'm proper rubbish at names.Thing is, are you bothered about people getting your name wrong? You're not really, are you?! It just happens.
Well, that's how I've tried to explain it to current partners when I've called out the name of their predecessor at an inappropriate moment.

[Burnden Paddock]

I once 'addressed' Mrs BP by the name of a female work colleague, at a rather inappropriate moment. Either she didn't hear me, or realised that I was a bit pissed and chose to ignore it.

I regret to admit it but I not only call my current wife with the former wife's name, but I mix up my children too. I know who they are and what their name is - just the wrong one comes out. Some kind of pattern recognition dyslexia....? My (current) wife laughs at me because, as she says, she was smart enough, when she married a second time, to marry someone (me) who had the same first name as her first husband.

Shocking stuff you lot. Hubby gets the kids and pets mixed up occasionally - but he is quite old, I have no excuse!

Oh yes. Been there, done that ... got away with it too.

Still makes me cringe.

And me! Full name too! She musn't have heard or I'd have been gelded.
