they still do photography in Manchester don't they?

Why has it been so long without pictures of the developments, its been a month since PP or Hardman 3 has had pictures added.. Whats caused the lack of interest? I'm getting to the point that I'm thinking of gettin there meself (ok, a lie)..

Someone do something!

Oh my goodness Ive seen that video so many times and not realised it was in Salford. What was the point in going all the way to Salford if they were gonna do it in wherever it is, and not really promote the city at all?

Timbaland needs to lay off the pork pies and Mars Bars. He's looking quite jowly compared to a few years back.

Oh right. Well then fair enough. Still, Im sure you would agree it would have been nice to show off the city a bit.

Think of the theme. It's dark, urban whatever. Prefect setting for a hip hop vid. It wouldn't be right swanning around Piccadilly gardens

That camera question

You know the one - I'm going to buy a new camera, nothing too special, 150quid, 200quid something like that, which one should I get? Just something to take general pictures probably in bright sunshine and of scenery and stuff (as I'm in Switzerland) rather than the low light of those greast dingy dives like Big Hands that I miss lots, as would have been the case if i was still in Manchester. Aw, i'm beggining to fill up.
advise please!

just seen some fellas in a cherry picker from a company called networksby wireless. they were about 5 stores up in parsonage gardens, taking photos.

http://www.networksbywireless.co.uk/

from the website it looks like they do wireless networks for local authorities. Does anyone know if this means that Manchester are planning free wireless access? or is it just my wishful thinking?

Yeah, Carl Zeiss, the women in the shop kept repeating that like some sort of odd mantra - or at least it seemed that way as all the words inbetween were in French. Like some sort of gallic voodo prayer to the man. At one point I think I said it myself as it was rather infectious. At which point, of course, I had to buy one otherwise I would have felt like I was bluffing.
Anyhow, seems fit for purpose
Thanks for the reassurance!

Can anyone help me, i have a kinda pen friend in Chile, who wants a copy of a film on DVD - i'm gonna post it to her although, i'm not sure if this is legal or not. Does this come under fair use? It's a gift.
