Used to love watching the clouds rolling in from my old perch in VT 6. 

I lived in VT1 for a good while.

Turns out I was wrong, as a quick search confirms you can buy these here.  For a cool $125K.

Just headed out to a small food festival which was okay. Driving back saw this beast in front of us. Sounded great 

 

Those things are badass.  Never made it to the US unfortunately.

I sometimes do it deliberately to sort out where the letters belowg. I use one of the greyed out letters to help me clarify my word.

Yeah, I can see that.  I'm just being a Mango about it.

Wasted one yet again.  It shouldn't let you reuse a letter it has already told you isn't in the answer.  (I.e. it's the software's fault, not mine!)

Looks like a great camera. Used to have an Olympus with 10X optical zoom.

Thanks.  It gets pretty good reviews and the price is reasonable considering that many reviews I've read compare it favorably to a camera that costs almost twice as much.  I also had a Panasonic Lumix previously (a long time ago), so I'm confident this camera will perform well.

If you ever should drop it in a dusty or sandy environment, do not turn it off until you have a chance to thoroughly clean the exterior of the telephoto lens mechanism.

Good advice, taken on board!  Thanks.

Wasted one again (i.e. forgot a letter had been used).

I'm awaiting delivery of a camera I bought last night, promised for Saturday, so my contributions here will soon increase, and I'll be TR-ready when we go to LOS in August!

Nothing too fancy, but pretty good reviews, and ~half the price of the Sony competitor all the reviews seem to compare it to.

^ That got me curious, so I looked it up.  Thai is a Category IV language.

Have three music venues in Reading, a 20 minute train journey that costs £5 return.

Whole night cost about £30.

Nice one mate.  We'll have to join you for an evening out some time.

They were brilliant , superb musicians, and the singer is fit as f**k.

Looks like a great evening of music.  I'm jealous,  live music scene here is absolute shite.

About 22C at the moment,  weather forecast is for storms later.

Having watched TV in both places,  I can vouch for this!  Absolutely stunning bodies in some of those Mex TV chicks.

I guess that taking the husband's surname is ingrained in Thai culture. Got to admit that I kind of like it.

My Italian surname seems a bit ungainly when worn by a Thai chick though!

Congrats on your marriage.  Sorry to hear about the issue with the cousin.

My missus also took my family name when we got hitched, which I found rather surprising.  We got married in the US though, so there's no real reason for her to do the official name change stuff in Thailand unless she wants to.  That won't be until we move there though.
