    As stated illegal.

    AVG free started causing performance issues one of my PC's after years of being fine, so I replaced it with Avast. So far it's been fine.

    In my view helping some-one raise the money to go on holiday to Switzerland isn't illegal, regardless of what they might do when they get there.

    Tom Tom Or Garmin?

    Lid replied to shepp's topic in General Talk

    I love my Garmin Nuvi bought in, I think, 2006, which also transmits the audio to FM so you can run it through the car Hifi.

    It's a no brainer really, as said by others he should replace it!

    I am also happy to chip in a tenner to help sort this out. Just tell me how.

    Hydrex is 4% chlorhexidine gluconate and so is Hibiscrub. They both also contain emollients, although I think they are different ones. I dilute either to about 1 in 8 with water before use on an animal.

    Garage forcourts are not covered by insurance as a pal once bumped a motor on one and it went through the insurance company and they told the claiment to do one,but i wasn't 100% sure hence why i said to phone them aand check first.. I am sure they are now. When did that happen? The law was changed some time in the 90s I believe to accommodate private land accessed by the public in vehicles.

    To avoid all doubt, if private land is publicly accessible by vehicle, such as a car park or campsite, then the provisions of the road traffic act apply, which includes insurance, speed limits, drink driving, etc.

    Auto 12 Bore ?

    Lid replied to oakey's topic in General Talk

    Modern autos should cycle 28g with ease. I suffer with recoil and I use a Beretta 302 coupled with an ISIS trap recoil pad, which also gives me the extra length I need in the stock as I am quite tall. There is very little recoil with that combination, but you can't fit the ISIS to the more modern Berettas. Give ISIS a call, they are very helpful : http://www.recoilsystems.com/ Plus : http://www.recoilsystems.com/ISISlight/WillTheISISIIFitMySemiAuto.pdf

    1/256 is too slow to freeze the water drops. See here for a useful looking article.

    The one I have is called Hydrex and I have a 500 ml bottle. I use it for the horse, but it was originally for me so I am afraid that I don't know how much it costs.

    You should be able to get the exif data off the photos to confirm the settings used. Although higher ISO will allow smaller apertures for good for depth of field and/or higher shutter speeds, it's best to keep the ISO as low as you can for quality. You could try using a tripod to achieve this, but watch when it's windy with long exposures (ie longer than 1/60). My thoughts: Photo 1 - needs a higher f stop Photo 2 - I like this and I think it is only limited by the quality of the lens (which isn't bad at all!) Photo 3 - the high ISO has caused reduction in quality and high noise

    And what camera and lens is it too?

    I have both a dslr and bridge camera and find they are both useful in different situations. The bridge has a massive zoom range and being quite small, it is really good for holidays and takes perfectly good photos when needed, plus it has video. Getting back to this question, the best choices are dependent on budget and how likely you think you are to continue. There's no point in spending £1500+ and then giving up. My suggestion if you are willing to spend a reasonable sum is a second hand Canon 50d body (around £250) and a superzoom lens like the Tamron AF 16-300 mm f3.5-6.3 Di II V

    Yeah - muck flies.

    We've had a fair number return to the stables this week. I can't remember which day it was I saw them, but I think it was Tuesday.
