Overall I like them. I'd like to see a little bit of shadow on the floor sometimes so it doesnt look like she is floating. I enjoy photographing kids as they aren't so reserved and tend to have fun. If you can capture that as you have here I think you are on to a winner. I've found photographing teens to be a nightmare! They just stand with that awkward "I really dont want to be here" look. If you were flush, you might also look into getting a fish-eye lens for something a little different. My next will be a wide angle though for landscapes.

I do admit to be nervous about the situation of both Colo and Tiote. Colo not signing a new contract and Tiote being sniffed around amid Pardews usual "there is a price we will sell at" line. If you ignore those two potentially disastrous moves, then bringing in a forward and ideally a full back or centre half should see us maintain a decent run for the rest of the season and hopefully sneak into a European spot.

Just watched Melancholia. What a great way to set myself up for a weekend. Fuck me, think I'll go read some of the bairns Mr Men books to try and cheer myself the fuck up!

I've been plodding on with Sword n Board but I think Ill move away from that. quite like the idea of having a 1H weapon and casting with the free hand. Still early enough in the game to change. though the shield has been handy like. Still only L5 as well, working for the companions.

Sick to fuck of it. Running my own business that is connected to the construction industry. Construction needs money from banks to move. If banks aren't lending then new buildings aren't going up. Also on refurb work people tend to be hanging on to their money while they see what happens.

Happy Happy Day!

Only grabbing an hour here and there. L3 up to now so still kinda at that start. Just joined the companions.

The only thing that doesn't stack up is that SD as a brand would get more air time and have a better standing the better the football club is was associated to was doing. If we got in to Europe, that would give him a potential platform for exposure in other countries. Seems to make sense. Sadly that's the next problem, the club doesn't often make sense the days....

I'm a firm believer in an English manager. No matter how good the manager is technically, unless he is English he can't bring out the true passion in the side. Thats the first thing I'd change.

+1 We went for a week. The resort was really nice though out and about they are kings of hassling you to go into their shop. We both came down with stomach bugs so didnt get too far out of the hotel. It's meant to be one of the best places to go diving if thats your thing and you dont mind all the recent shark issues..

It was touched on but I think its that Football there is a big spectacle, not necessarily a participation. they enjoy the glamour of it and the big players but are not about to turn out to play sunday league. Similarly like in the States. Football is a growing sport despite their population, most kids play Baseball.

Took me a couple of reads

I used to go to FX and that is a canny gym. Was just a bit out of my way. I go to DW now and thats a cracking gym. You sign up and can use any DW in the UK. Prob one of the cheapest Ive found as well, I pay around £38 a month. I go before work so haven't used the pool stuff so not sure what they have,

Couple of images here from this weekends walk. Its a shame really, I dont give myself the time to correctly grab images up there. Mainly that I dont carry my tripod and photo's are taken fairly hastily. I should really arrange a walk with photography as its primary goal..

Also went Redguard. Handy with a shield + 1HW. Tried a bow a few times but need to suss out how to quick swap weapons so I can quickly jump back to sword or whatever. No, I dont RTFM

Got it yesterday but not had a chance to look yet, should be tonight. Went for PS3 so I can whack it on the huge TV

Re getting an accountant, good bit of advice I was given years back, your accountant should save you more than whatever you pay him. If he doesnt, he's either being lazy or too straight

Wtf is Batman doing in there?

I used to be a member years back when I lived in Forest Hall then Longbenton. I liked it then and some of the instructors were good craic. No idea what its like these days.

Also a camera wouldnt be wrote off or would you take it as a straight operation cost? If you bought a camera I'd imagine it would be an asset that would depreciate? Im not sure how it works for self employed. Maybe the account guru's on here know.

Id not read much into it. Saying we need replacements in the summer is the flip side of saying we wont be buying anyone next summer. Edit - Plus, what does it matter anyway, most of what he says is a lie.

Listening to BBC Newcastle, interview with DL. Glad to hear them asking the difficult questions. Usual bullshit coming from him. Says he hopes to generate £8-£10M per year. That will give us 1 additional new player per year. Wanker had the audacity to say fans want a new striker in January... how thick does he think we are?

First and foremost before anything, Ashley is a gambler. See Cabaye & Tiote etc? Gambles. They paid off. See Perch? Gamble that didnt pay off. While I still give credit to the players and to Pardew for getting us where we are in the league, as far as MA is concerned it's a gamble that has paid off but with a few injuries could just as easy go tits up. He knew he was going to do this, he knew the fans would kick off. That is why a) he waited until the international break to let the dust settle and he done it after the recent season ticket offer as he knew it would have impacted that. Calculated it to the second. Why the fuck the thick fuck couldnt have waited until after the season was over? Why turn things back on their head now?
