Gary. Your photos are fantastic. Yes, the camera plays a part but it’s the photographer who makes any camera sing. The new weatherproof Olympus looks great but buy a few of the new primes and one zoom lens and things start to get out of hand – at least for me.

I think you take amazing photos with your camera and I am always impressed with the colours. I must admit, when I bought my camera, I thought that would be the bulk of the expense. I never expected lenses to be so expensive!

Great shot. I have an Olympus. I like it, but I don’t love it

Thanks John! Although I’m the more thankful party….I haven’t lost any photos from hard drive failures since I joined up.

It is a shame that so much good stuff gets rather hidden away behind the design. As for working with them….pft! I wasn’t invited! Not that I live in Mexico anymore. But it’s the sort of job/project I’d love.

I have to agree with you on Mexico Today’s format:totally ugly and unnavigable. I will give it another chance, but the design really turned me off when i first tried it.

Congrats on the winning! Maybe you can persuade them to hire you to redesign the site; that’d definitely improve their traffic numbers.

And there was more today….from the ‘hugely anticipated’ reports to the UN….

He said Buenos Aires had intelligence that a Vanguard submarine was operating in the area. “Thus far the UK refuses to say whether it is true or not,” he told a press conference in New York. “Are there nuclear weapons or are there not?

He’s being absurd. Firstly, he knows full well that Britain, along with all other countries with nuclear armed subs, will not discuss the whereabouts of a nuclear armed submarine.He wouldn’t have made this statement if that wasn’t the case. The blatant implication he’s hoping to draw is that if the UK doesn’t answer, then there must be a sub there……that’s a childish argument for him to make.

The information Argentina has is that there are these nuclear weapons.

I seriously doubt he has any information whatsoever that there’s a nuclear armed sub in the South Atlantic. Perhaps he should cough up the information. Else I assert he’s just making it up.

Besides, is he suggesting the UK is about to launch a nuclear strike on Argentina??

Argentina has accused Britain of … “militarising” the south Atlantic.

Cough…1982…cough…Argentine invasion…cough. There’s no more ships, planes or troops there today that there has been for years. One ship replaces another ship. The latest is a new ship. What does he expect? Ships get replaced. New models come out. The new ones are usually more capable than the last. Big deal. There is only one reason there are British warships, warplanes and troops in the South Atlantic – the Argentine invasion of 1982.

The Argentinian foreign minister…..showed slides of British military bases in the region, saying they represented a threat to all south America.

Please be more precise Mr Foreign Minister. Exactly who is Britain threatening, why and when does he expect this attack to take place?

Latin America used to be renowned for Tin Pot Dictators.The dictators have gone, but there seems to be something of a ‘tin pot’ revival.

I dunno that you’re right this time…not from an Anglo point of view anyway. Maybe it was different over in the States. The 850 was the first estate to run in the British Touring Car Championship and it did pretty good in the first couple of years. That’s what gave it the street cred here.

If push came to shove though, I’d pick an SLK over a Volvo too

Question is, does the dark side of the force flow through her….
