It took a while, but my pictures are up! Some are a bit crap, not great lighting in the pub. Need a better flash.

Certainly a flash that sits higher on the camera, so the fisheye lens doesn't create an eclipse.

Any chance of doing notes/titles for the pics?
As there's some faces in those pics that I should know the names of as I've met them before, but my memory is shit.

Spoony looks like a serial killer in that hat. I'm not into that at all, honest...

I think the Nanford could do with its own thread:
Carpet or Lin'o ?
How many cans of raid does one man need?
Basil Fawlty-God, Demi God or zombie?
Fire Escapes- just getting in the way of another room?
Fag ash- this seasons new pot purri!
and How flat can you make your pillows?
Fixed it a bit for you

A few more for the list?
Windows: do they really need latches?
Toilets: do they really need to be secured to the wall - or the floor?
Pricing: how much were you expecting to pay for your stay?
Paying: would you like to see your room before agreeing to pay?

Well I must have been lucky as a) the owner was actually friendly to me * b) I got a most excellent room, which was more a family suite and still only had to pay 30 quid, c) I filled myself up at breakfast.

My room:

It was excellent being there, I talked to quite a few ppl and even had a chat with Yak about his Samsung Q1 thingy.

If you met me but didn't realize who I was, I was the one with the Red Dwart t-shirt featuring Lister and Rimmer (and no not with H on my forehead, thankfully I wasn't so pissed that I let someone put one on with a PERMANENT marker which would take hours to scrub off probably

) Still I wish I had a Nintendo DS becuz everyone was quite obsessed with them and it would have ruled to play against other softies. It was fun playing the Atari Lynx though.

The only down side of my trip is that I missed my flight due to traffic jams and having started on my journey a bit too late and had to pay 50 quid extra + a 25 quid round journey train ticket and to top that when the ticket inspector asked for it I had lost it and had to pay 15 quid for a single ticket and he wouldn't refund it when I found it again a few minutes later (it had slipped from my pocket and fallen under the seat). So that was about 90 quid on top what I had expected to spend.

It looks like I'll have to sell some stuff to cover that extra expense. Most likely the Gamecube and Gameboy Advance, which I don't use as much as I used to.

* Edit: it just occurred to me that maybe the owner doesn't like "hippies" and since I don't have long hair he treated me differently than you lot.

Got my pics up now, which apparently include a few Rob sneaked with my camera!

Light quality not as good as I thought on some of the darker areas, but 'tis still a new camera and I'm still playing with it...

So this is you next to Mayhem then?

Thank god for that. Having looked at all the other photosets, I was beginning to wonder if I was really there...

(and it's the better-looking side of my head as well

)

Well I clearly wasn't there at all. I only appear in my own photos (don't know how I managed that).

WiredWorm · Post by **WiredWorm** » Thu Oct 26, 2006 3:58 pm 0

Well done Defsdoor - I was doing all I could to avoid appearing in any photos until Skweekeh caught me in a hungover state the next morning - I couldn't be bothered to try to duck for cover.

I think I got caught a couple of times though.

Bugger!!

Thought i'd got away with it!!! It's amazing how I didn't really notice that many cameras floating around - must have been preoccupied with something.......

Ahhhh yes, the beer.
