Long distance Apache's Farewell Tour. 25.3.24

Hoping that the flight would visit some of the local training haunts on route but alas it was not to be. Late running meant a dusk arrival and landing at Wattisham so I opted for from the front door shot if they flew straight up from Colchester via Hadleigh to Wattisham. Long distance and not the be...

Re: Top Gun Maverick

I felt the title should have “mission impossible” in it somewhere.
CGI is great. Jennifer is fantastic. End.

Re: F1 2024

So Albon bins it in FP1 and writes his car off. Williams haven't brought enough spares to repair. He must be out then? Nope, he's now driving Logan Sargeants car for the rest of the weekend... Unbelievable, though kind of understandable. Last sentence sounds like: it’s totally believable it is F1 a...

Re: Upgrade to mirrorless or full frame?

Having tried most formats the 1DX is great for all styles of action photography. The 1DX MK III is a mirrorless camera in live view, it’s probably the best full frame camera ever made, yet still pricy. Have to say I never got on with the 7D MK2 in anything other that perfect light, so moved it on qu...

Was it Lyon or Lille? Commentator mentioned both. Think

Re: 6 Nations 2024

I thought England played very well against a french team lifted by a vocal home crowd Good championship - no triple crown and no grand slam so honours fairly even. Italy have been a revelation this term. I have been very critical of them in the past saying they shouldn't even be in the six nations ...

Well done Ireland well deserved.

France v England great game, England made too many mistakes and the box kicking all the time, why, even our 5th team don’t do that!

Re: F1 2024

It would be unfair but the owners of a company can hire and fire who they like - Horner might have redress for unfair dismissal but he would still be dismissed. By the way I don't believe the accusations of coercive or controlling behaviour - it looks like a chance for someone to cause trouble or m...

Re: F1 2024

Slogen51 Agree with paras. 2,3 & 4. However, para 1 would be unprofessional behaviour which could impact the performance of the team and would, at least, be worthy of a final warning - for both parties. (Which isn’t to say it doesn’t happen, probably quite a lot) Totally agree with that -: Horner i...

Re: 6 Nations 2024

Gutted Scotland deserved to win although they didn't have that much ball. England too many handling errors and catching was poor. Rugby is a running ball handling game so the England errors are fundamental. Man of the match was the South African Duhan van de Merwe Strange starting selection England...
