Hail and sleet hit Bedlington this morning,this means transport system will be in chaos

4G, the animal life I was hoping to capture on 'film' are timid creatures so getting close would be a problem ie deer, foxes etc also close up of fauna, insect life and such like!

This is very confusing to a rank amateur like me, trial and error is a certainty, I just do not want to be put off by getting the wrong camera and sickening myself because I can't use it to it's capabilities. Some of the things I have seen while sitting on the river bank or fishing lakes or even chasing a small white ball round the golf course,well these sights are once in a lifetime and not one caught on camera!

Maybe a camera club will be helpful,do they still exist?

What song,film,cartoon or saying would you consider apt for members on this site?

Train-spotting: 4G

Yes,it doesn't matter what your're looking for it's 'outmoded'just as fast as you buy it! Maybe I'm wrong but I don't fancy a compact,been there etc etc, want something diferent, maybe I'm being too fanciful, but thanks for your input.Cheers.

Come on play the game :lol:

I've always wanted a decent camera but I am an absolute loss as to which make and camera to buy!Looked at the Sony HX1, reviews say its an excellent camera but has no flash because of where Sony put the microphone! EH! You can tell I haven't a clue. Whats an SLR anyway! Do I need one? To cut to the chase I want this camera for wildlife photos,so zoom would be great, but which one? Also close ups of the minor wildlife ie:- grubs, caterpillars and the like. Then there are scenic views. Basically I need a good all round camera! All the sites I've been on are very confusing,some say this or that camera good and others say stay away from them,some I've found are good at one thing and not so good at others. So I need HELP. PLEASE! Any ideas? All help gratefully accepted. Cheers.

Your starter for ten. Name them all! :D

How about

Am Bumph Griper and V. Crims :lol: :lol:

Scooby Doo and Shaggy too :lol:

4G.You're on about when they on their scooters. Good at the time, but seen it on Dave 20 times since then!

Monsta, Ted 'The Count' Hankey needs to be there if only to get the crowd going, the most hated man on the darts circuit :lol:

And what venue had you in mind, may I ask?

Bad news for you guys, just been to the focal point of gossip in Bedders(Watsons)and one of the contractors was in for his papers and he says that the school won't be open till mid to late January :lol: Good Luck

How can they come up with £76-100k to run this building? Are they pushing other losses on to this building to justify getting rid? Now if you want someone to run said community centre, then I would suggest a bit of poaching! Get the person who runs GuidePost community centre, you can virtually guarantee that there is something going on there every day or night for and involving the people of the community! Also one big point about GuidePost community centre is that the local people USE it!

Rip that down aswell, never needed it in the first place.

Why are we losing everything in Bedlington. Ive just been in Tescos tonight and I asked when the larger store was going to happen but the girl staff I spoke to couldn't tell me. She said apparently when the market place was finished they might consider it. Thats a laugh seeing it was supposed to start in the summer of this year. Another thinbg in Bedlngton that seems to be put on the back burner or lose.

Welcome to Bedlington :(

What! You had marital arts sessions in the community centre, then you went upstairs for other things, how much does it cost, where can I book, I'll have a bit of that

I know it's all repeats but are there any shows that you are looking forward to over the festive season?

For me its not xmas till I've seen A Xmas Carol, any or all of them! Then there is the World Championship of Darts over the New Year, fantastic!

This is great! I've learnt so much by reading your posts, I knew very little about this subject except that to make batteries and dispose of them is more harmful than the ICE. Keep it up I want to learn more and eventually make my own mind up.Cheers

Chained up in his kennel :lol:

You don't talk nonsense mercuryg! Thats my job :lol:

And, Darn and Romantic in the same sentence..................

Won't we be getting these with the proposed new Tesco development and if so will new shops be able to compete?

or the community centre or or or the law courts

Malcolm i bet that carrots make their back pockets bulge more than the cash WDC got :blink:

So, I'll still have to wait for the knock on the door at the dead of night,from the men in low brimmed hats and trenchcoats? :o
