    we went on a visit to the Cotswold falconry centre Cotswold Falconry & Bird of Prey Centre they have some nice big eagles and hawks and our kids liked the flying display they put on. there was someone on a course with the instructors (keepers?? pilots??) who got to put the gloves on and call...

    11th Hour 11th Day of the 11 Month

    was on a domestic BA flight this morning and whilst the winds delayed our arrival into heathrow the captain then came on the intercom and politely called for 2 minutes silence at precisely 11 am. was very eerie being above the south of england gently circling in a perfectly and respectfully...

    C63 test drive ends with a golf in the boot!

    i've been in a situation where i've pulled out onto a dual carriageway (40 limit) and found a pedestrian crossing the road right in front of me. he had been waiting for the same gap i had apparently. fortunately i changed my mind and stopped as did the car behind but it was close for me and...

    The Jackals are circling.

    whenever i travel i am always struck by how poor tv usually is and how much the BBC is respected by other people - even nonEnglish speakers. I'm glad - there is precious little left that we are the best at.

    Hole in one, its never too late.

    This isn't right, if they concede putts in the Ryder Cup and other matchplay events why is there no such thing?

    This made me chuckle!!

    I use Screwfix for little odd jobs - much better retail experience than one of those DIY supershed efforts where everything is mixed up like some jumble sale. and the screwfix catalogue is one of my guilty pleasures....:o

    What SLR camera ?

    camera box does pretty much any camera with any lens as a "kit" here is the Nikon page.... Nikon Digital SLR D50 D70 D70s D100 D200 D1X D2X so no need to pay out for a lens if it isn't exactly the one you want....

    What SLR camera ?

    sounds like great service. i've got a good zoom - 18-200 and it does almost everything i would ever want - the only possible addition might be a smaller lens for low light. taking family/outdoor/holiday/sport it's great not having to swap back and forth.

    What SLR camera ?

    have you tried Ken Rockwell's site (kenrockwell.com) he has his critics but for us amateurs it's good reading. Just a thought.

    What SLR camera ?

    another Nikon D90 owner here, I combined it with their 18-200mm lens. very happy with it - I too got quite into reading the reviews about various cameras and at around the amount of money you are looking to spend it's hard to go wrong. There simply isn't a "bad" choice if you stick with the...

    Baby car seats, travel solutions?

    Further to my previous answer the key is really what you are going to be doing - daily trips in the car mean you are really going to prioritise ease of use and then a travel system makes sense. but don't forget that prams are only really good on the flat - if you are going to a place with...

    Baby car seats, travel solutions?

    bear in mind that the little one is only actually going to be small enough to lift straight out of a car and onto the wheel bit of the travel system for six months or so - after that its just too heavy and very cumbersome from a two door car. IMHO the travel system prams are often a...

    Handbagge item

    I was checking in at a regional airport in the states where there wasn't a separate queue for the air crew to get through. I was going through behind a set of pilots and stewards/esses. one of the pilots had his flight bag stopped from the x ray and the homeland security bod produced a...
