Turning tv on and off again didn't work and changing batteries didn't either. Its 29, and 43 we have the option of.

At that price I'd take a camera down there and photograph it/one myself..... or ... here's a thought .... something NICE to look at!

Quite! I'd rather buy a canvas and smear some elephant dung on it and put that on my wall than pay that much for any photograph, let alone that one!

Well if you like the brutalist school of photography I suppose it's great... Personally I'm looking at framing some of my plant and butterfly photos. A lot cheaper too! :money: Though we have too many prints already - have about 16 Holbein ones of HVIII and QEI court people that need reframing. I doubt we'll do anything about walls here till we finish clearing old home. Currently no pics on wall anywhere.

Are they the last 2 channels that were successfully selected? Hope you like Big Bang Theory

Additional achievements this weekend: tried using the hammer drill setting. Mixed results, partly as it was a loose brick rather than one in a wall, and secondly as we couldn't work out how tolock the drill brit in place securely enough (want a problem for the towel rail which went up on to plaster board).
Also hopefully repaired a bit of guttering (hadn't been put together properly), and had my first BBQ (well first 2, Fridays started quite late and had to be adjourned into the garage when it started to rain. Yesterdays was great).

Try finding the setup option in the tv menu and getting it to retune?

We are enjoying the Motown show on itv1 hd here.

I know this guy. And some of his subjects.

That's some good stuff there.

Ah I suppose that makes sense. I dont understand why the woman who looks like Janet street porter after £50,000 of plastic surgery doesn't just sell her bags.

And that's, well, rectangular. Maybe knock a hole in the wall and stick a window in instead, even if the view's just an abbotoir or a gasworks?

I think there must be circuit diagrams that look more like art than those photos.

I've always said that there are enough idiots living in London that you can set up any business and/or sell anything and so long as you put some work in you'll be able to find enough idiots to make a darned good living

Not a lot of work ... just some.
Not hard work ... just some.

Then you just need to find somebody who likes your stuff and who networks/tweets... and bob's your uncle.

There used to be a shop in Covent Garden called the Cartoon Carpet company. They sold carpets with Captain Scarlet etc. (yep I know that's a different kind of animation but we didn't have whole cartoon TV channels back then , so there you go). It made me think about how many niche opportunities crop up with bigger and bigger populations.

Similarly I saw a photo of a street of shops in New York including one called Mister Custard which sold endless varieties of, guess what, custard. Seems rather weird when we see fishmongers and poulterers and butchers and greengrocers disappearing from the high street .
