Oops! I shall correct this immediately. In a desperate search for revenge, I must point out that a perusal of your website revealed a typo – The Guardian is spelt “The Grauniad”, not “The Gruaniad”.

This picture is gorgeous. I love the halo and the intensity of the birds eyes.

Good Evening Sir,

I was just browsing the history of the ARM architecture, and into my head popped a memory of an IT teacher, who many years earlier had foretold me that ARM/RISC was the future.

Sadly it appeared for a number of years that he was incorrect, however 14 years later, and with the emergence of the ‘mobile era’ and Microsoft finally converting their dominant if flawed OS to this architecture his prediction has come to pass!

I’m glad to see you are still enjoying photographing and badgers, long may that continue. I hope you are well

Kind Regards

Andy Yardley

thats right leave us to struggle on our own in our minus 16 whilst you go galavanting around in glorious sunshine, attacking defenceless seals. Up to our knecks in running water, mostly through the house not the river. The gentle swish of frozen slush as we slide into ditches calmly avoiding the abandonded cars in the lane. Arriving home to starving children gathering sticks for the meagre fire to warm my steak pie and whisky, after their hard day begging for my christmas presents. Poor trish with her bad back shovelling all that snow and scraping the ice of the window so i can check she’d done it right. Only advantage was that she was able to chill my wine with her hands afterwards, but then her hands were to cold to defrost the turkey.
Hope your all having a great time and you manage to get away with your camera. Have a great new year. Best wishes to you all…………….Bill
