my daughters best friend got me a framed professional pic of my 2 grandaughters for xmas,i was so pleased with it,one of my best pressies
That was lovely Barb. I think it's so important that pics really capture the people they are of and what they are feeling. I did this couple's wedding too, and that was a wonderful..if terrifying..experience. Thank heavens they loved the pics..tricky if they hadn't!
I thought the pics that Anji and Michael had done were quite wonderful too. Awesome even!
I've got to do another wedding in June. Must start reading the 'how to' manuals again. It's always the lighting that's the tricky bit.

I did the photo's for a wedding in a castle, the lighting through the "windows" was awful, good job I'd made them have a dry run and showed them where they could and couldn't have photo's taken!!
I'll dig out the book I bought on photographing weddings and post title and author, worked a treat for me.

It's so STRESSFUL isn't it M?! I have nightmares about light when a wedding's in the offing. I won't get a chance to have a dry run for this one either. it's miles away. Send me that title purlease!:-)

Just watched The Saint with Val Kilmer, total shit :shit:
Pud :twisted:
You didn't like it that's fine, don't expect people to like it.
It would be a boring place if we all like the same thing.
Personally I like this Val Kilmer movie and he's gorgeous in it so there :lol:.
Seem to be buying alot of papers recently one way or another, last two weeks it was to get the DVD's from The Daily Mail, Saturday it was Daily Express as it had an artical on Agnetha and Anni-Frid from ABBA and yesterday was Sunday Mirror as it had a massive artical on Patrick Swayze and looks like I'll be getting The Daily Telegraph later as there is an artical about shows in the West End with a great pic of Michael and Leanne in Hairspray :cool:.
It's a bit crazy :nuts: I know but hey.
Going to get ready in a bit and start doing the things that need to be done, like I need to do some washing etc...

Interesting Val Kilmer was nominated for a Razzie for worst actor for this film and has been nominated for a Razzie as worst supporting actor another 2 times.

Dave,
When you have a good looking guy/girl depending on your sex to look at you tend to ignore all the crap bits as your caught up watching said person.
And Pud, I know what your trying to do and it won't work, been a solid fan of his for 18-years now so I think I'll still like him no matter what you say.
In my eyes he's still incredibly gorgeous, so there :hand::raspberry: !!

:twisted: I'm with the other guys here.
A good actor in a leading role goes quite a way in persuading someone to watch the movie in the first place, but if the movie is crap, no eye candy is going to make the film any better.
Val Kilmer is 90's hothttp://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r168/Neome75/val_kilmer.jpg
But yeah hot guys getting half naked, fighting or just sweating makes any film worth watching......and it would be just the same for the guys if it was girls ;)

there are very few exceptions, I suppose it depends on moods...i mean i like watching switch off the brain action stuff, for exactly that reason it's a distraction and sometimes you'll watch films you know are probably going to be crap but you lose yourself in them.
Then there's other that you will just really want to see for the performances, actor, director, script etc.

You have no idea what I'm trying to do, because I'm not trying to do anything. I don't like like Val Kilmer and you've thrown your toys out of the cot, spat the dummy out and given the teddy a good beating.
Teenagers who struggle to live in reality go all gooey over a movie star or pop star, how old are you? If you're still a teenager I apologise, let kids be kids is what I say.

Well I wouldn't be so happy to "girl perv" if I didn't think it was ok for guys too. I don't care, we're only human, why can't we enjoy good looking people? Not like we see many of them in our real lives. lol So if girls say to you it's horrible to perv then she's just boring and small minded.

Left work diary at work.. Fantastic so am going to have to pop in tomorrow/today to get it or I don't know what I'm doing !!
After I found myself doing that a few times, I no longer have separate work/home diaries. They're the same thing (also saves money coz work pay for the work diary. hehe!)
Thanks Barb! It's the father's birthday present...so i was hoping it was ok. I find it so hard to judge myself...

I think it's a perfect present! The father looks so proud and it includes the mother too - and she looks happy. I am sure he (and she!) will love it - and baby would love it to when he is older!

It doesn't make the film any better no...it just makes it bearable. Though if it was merely on the TV, I wouldn't stay watching rubbish purely for 'eye candy'...but if I'd gone to the cinema with a friend, say...watching the 'eye candy' would give me something to do whilst waiting for it to finish.

Oh dear, oh dear....though you are right..a worse paid job is better than none. The economic climate here in the UK is horrible too. My husb is a solicitor and he had to wait for hours in court on monday because there were so many house re-possession hearings to be got through.

I am sorry but I have to disagree with mortgage lending victims...I would never borrow money knowing I couldn't pay it back...I wouldn't buy 800,000 house when I make 50,000 a year...and that's what many people did...banks can fool you from here to there...but you have to have some understanding of what you're doing before doing it...
A lot of things happened...currency fell and prices went up...when currency is doing better...somehow prices stay the same high...gas was very high...so everybody jumped in with surcharges and charging for every suitcase and trip and nonsense like this...when gas goes down...these things will stay the same unless fought...so...yeah...although things will get better...for many they just won't...I am sorry for blubbling...I am a bit upset...

All this reminds me of the time when husb and i couldn't pay the mortgage despite both working full time and having foreign students staying too. That was because mortgage interest rates doubled over night in 1992. I know the situation now is different and even more serious, but i'll never forget the fear that there was nothing we could do to avoid repossession.
I wouldn't go for adjustable mortgage even back when...I was offered great deal and I took worse deal but fixed mortgage...

A DIY forum I visit has a 4 page spread purely discussing light bulbs...specifically energy saving light bulbs (mostly a moan) - and it did in fact start from someone's point that they keep being given free bayonet energy saving light bulbs (which are supposed to last 10 years) but only have two bayonet sockets in the house.
you're glad I told you that now aren't you?

only takes half an inch or so to bring the UK to a standstill Zina!
Doh! have also run out of food..so tea will be some oven chips, peas, tinned sweetcorn and one small tin of salmon between four....
Life is impossible without my car..and it's still freezing even with the heating on turbo. comes of having walls 3 inches thick with lots of gaps in them. Honestly, you can see to the outside through some of the gaps. Brrrr!
Tried to post more pics...but failed. Keep getting told i already have a file named something or other...and i rename the new file...and still it won't work. Looking on the bright side, you're probably all quite grateful. Am off now to spread 7 oven chips between four people.
Just cause I don't post doesn't mean I don't care...so when everybody was posting about snow yesterday I looked up some pictures...and I didn't get it...I am sorry...
We are getting awful snow since night but right now it's not sticking yet...ummm...it looks just about like those pictures posted above...maybe a bit worse...but they say it's gonna get colder and it will really start sticking...yuck...
This year we have a bad winter...we have non-stop snow that melts during the day and freezes into ice at night, so we didnt' get out of ice this winter yet...pretty unusual for these parts...usually we get 2 or 3 awful snow storms (a foot or less of snow) and then that's it...

It's weird to sit in an Australian month-long heat wave and see ice and snow storms in the northern hemisphere.
You lot skate on your roads and ours are literally melting.
We had a non-stop snow starting from the night before and all through the day yesterday...regular freaking non-stop blizzard...fortunately, temperatures dropped after the snow ended...so it's not so bad...
Unfortunately, some people did get it rough...my co-worker's uncle was coming from work yesterday, the car skidded and he hit the fire hydrant...instant death...life is becoming funner and funner...

Running someone over on your motorbike makes an interesting start to the day!!!!
Badly?
(or if it was a deliberate act ... how many gardens did you have to drive over before you hit them?)

My sister just rang me and asked if I had looked out the window yet, which I said no as I was in the throws of getting up and she urged me to look so I got up a bit and peeked outside... Everyting is white and the snow is still falling, she asked me if I wanted to go tobogganing with her and bf Mike but unfortunaly I can't go because I have to work... Not looking forward going out there today, I looked out Mum's window and because cars have been running and the pavement has been walked on it looks to be slushy and a little icy underfoot... Oh joy !!
But have a day off tomorrow :cheer: !!

Badly?
Nope, I did it quite well lol
20' from a crossing with the lights on red, she decided she'd be better off walking up a bit then crossing in front of a van, don't think she'll do it again tomorrow!!!!
So long as you're alright
Possibly more importantly. How's the bike?

Andy said more important ...
Suicidal peds go right to the bottom of the priority list (as well as to the bottom of the vehicle they jump out in front of).

Hmm...Q102 second audition is on the 14th at 12.10pm when the pre op for the laser eye surgery was at 12pm that day.
called the clinic and they don't have anything until else until the 16th, which was supposed to be my time for recovery, 3 days, and the time they couldn't give me from work but said i could take sick days.
Have to see if i can make the pre op in the afternoon on the monday, after work and take my time from then

If one more person tells me (or comments amongst themselves) that I've put on weight (regardless of whether that's followed with statements along the lines of "but you look good") they're getting a slap :roll:

I think it managed to snow just about everywhere in england today except Southampton - stupid geothermal hot spot thingy :evil:

a couple of pounds maybe...which granted is nothing compared to however many i've put on (hiding from scales - don't want to know) ... but seriously ... do you TELL people they've put on weight? I'm not dangerously overweight, and probably not fat, but c'mon, being told you've put on weight really does nothing for your confidence
lettuce and ryevitas for tea then... :(
so i'm off to decathalon shortly to buy something to run / go to the gym in that's not shorts and not those horrible thick trakkie bottom things that create static on the treadmill causing it to electrocute me whenever i touch it!
