Oh This Year We're Off To Sunny Spain !
Right then, Goldenballs has gone and United are still trying to make money out of him. The official website is offering fans the opportunity of purchasing a farewell photograph.
It's going to be interesting over the next few months though. I believe Mr Beckham is publishing his *autobiography*. Does it remind you of another decent player United had ? Yes, that's right......Jap Stam !!
I tell yer ! Cross Sir Alex and you're dead meat.
Flash Bang Wallop, What a Picture !
I took a CD of snaps taken with my digital camera to Boots at weekend. I ended up with 50 5 x 7" prints for £10 ! Bearing in mind that my camera is bobbing on a bit and is only capable of 1.3 megapixel, the quality is indecipherable from a normal photographic print.
This really is quite a leap forward in a remarkably short period of time. When I first acquired a digicam in 1999, that 1.3 mp model cost me nearly £500. Today the same would set me back around £400 less (probably more with a bit of searching around).
On top that, now we have places like Boots providing prints at around 20p each, we no longer have to spend an arm and a leg on printers, paper and - most of all - overpriced ink cartridges. Also bear in mind that each one of those prints will be pre-edited and, therefore, wanted. No longer will you have to pay for the chaff as well as the wheat. Give it a go !
We Are Sailing
I've added a link to a few images from our Med cruise under the Photograph section.
Big Yellow Taxi
BBC 4 (TV not radio) showed a 1.5 hour documentary of Joni Mitchell tonight. Lauded by many of Joni's American fans as "essential viewing", I found it strangely empty on some of Ms Mitchell's albums. I can't remember a mention of "Hissing of Summer Lawns", "Dog Eat Dog" or "Chalk Mark in a Rainstorm".
On top of this I felt that the references to Joni's painting was fleeting. Anyone familiar with her will recognise that this is a major part of her of work. By her own admission after the album, comes the painting. Different media allowing her to express what needs expressing.
It was excellent for its broadcasting of long-unseen footage, but, in the end, it was an obviously American representation of a Canadian Artist. Only the success was dwelled upon.
Some cracking stuff on that BBC4 though. Worth the price of a Digi Box alone I think.
