Except for 'ordinary household kitchen knives' That's a direct quote from an eBay UK spokesmen following a Watchdog report into the sale of illegal knives on eBay. So will this include tools and collectable legal knives...?

Sundial? You've lost me. Went to Chamonix for the day, went up the Mer De Glace on the rack railway. Can't wait to go back in the winter.

Took a trip to Samoens in the French Alps this summer - got some great opportunities for shots. Pretty new to SLR, but improving all the time. Shame about the ladder propped against the house - will try and clone it out at some point Pano taken at 2600m / 8500 feet - taken handheld...

Really happy about the new forum, should be a great addition. Just one small point - there's no need for the apostrophe in the word Photos. Sorry to pick but it really bugs me.

Not in my house. I'm a proud socialist. It would all be owned by the state if I had my way.

I am a trainer by profession, and would agree that learning skills and techniques to deliver effective training / teaching is just as important as the knowledge itself. I regularly sit in on courses where I already know the subject matter, just to watch the trainer...

As defined by....? re: Thalidomide, there is a fairly simple reason that some of Thalidomide's side effects were not known prior to their manifestation - there was no onus on the company manufacturing the drug to test for them in order to get the drug into market. Unfortunately, drug companies...

Probably should have been more specific and said that it's SP for this kind of submission competition. I'm referring more to these kind of promotional competitions, as opposed to major photography contests etc. (I'm almost certain the number of the former far outweighs the latter) - they...

It is age old, but since Apple moved to x86 architecture, it's more relevant now than ever. Mac / PC now use common architecture, so you can get just as good hardware in a PC. Again, I personally disagree, I never found one more simple or intuitive than the other, but I guess it's up to...

That's pretty much SP in any submission competition these days.

I suspect it's because there's folk on here that bite so quickly. Don't feed the trolls.

No such thing as a Rebel XT Lite. the "Digital Rebel" was the US name for the 300d, the "Rebel XT" was the US name for the 350d. Probably the Digital Rebel. Depends what you want to do with the camera. Are you looking to do wide angle, or do you need a lot of reach? Will you need a 'fast'...

Macs look beautiful, but compared to PCs are overpriced for the spec. I've used mac and PC extensively at home and work, and these days there's nothing I can't do on a PC that I can on a Mac, so it's a no brainer. As for anecdotal evidence of problems / failures, I can say with hand on heart...

No need to use any form of 'gadget' to keep the tarp taught on the ridgeline, a prussic loop with a mini karabiner is the perfect solution. I personally keep my Tarp, Ridge, prussics and guylines all in place, so pitching is a cinch

The Original RRP for a Canon 350d Body was about £700, but that was back in 2005. Looking at recently completed listings on eBay (a reasonable market indicator), new 350d have been selling for about £250, used ones have been going for £150 - £180. It was replaced in the...

The best thing I ever did was to get a down sleeping bag.

The issue with folding is that if you fold something exactly the same way every time it causes weaknesses. I generally roll mine up.

The simple fact is that the services, particularly the Army, has got more gaps than it can fill. It will try and improve it's recruiting numbers by targeting the less well off, those on the dole, and also by offering 'sweeteners' such as paying uni/college fees etc. etc. it has done for AGES...
