  1. Yay, new tripod arrived!

  2. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, definitely the best Indy film of them all. A great example of how classic film-making techniques surpass the soulless CGI prevalent today.

      We called the dog Indiana...

      Still not as good as Raiders tho. Agreed about cgi.

      Whats great is Indy films don't take themselves too seriously, and it makes it fun. Theres been very few films I've seen since that I can say was truly fun to watch.

      I remember "MAD" magazine did a spoof series called "Inbanana Jones and the Temple of Goons"

  3. Is amazed how much better the layout looks under the softer living room lights, compared to the hard lights in my bedroom. Don't think parents would appreciate a new fixture in the living room though!

  4. Finally bought a camera tripod, some loco reviews may be in order.

  5. New TV show, "Full Regulator". I review the latest loco's, race trains and do a "star in a reasonably polished loco"?

      I admit the pukka pie is a close contender, but fray bentos goes down better.

      Is it endemic? Or is it just that more people have more avenues to comment on what they perceive?

    4. Captain Kernow

      Perception or not, I think that there are a great many people out there who would agree that there is a general tendency towards lazy sloppiness in many areas, with competence generally being in rather short supply...
