You have to admit it though Tone, she is sexy.

Pfft. Looks flighty & tarty, not at all you.

Can I see a picture of old faithful, before she rusts away, please? Or have you cannibalised her for parts already?

Oh old faithful won't be rusting away any time soon. I've decided that she will only be going into semi-retirement. I'll take her out 3 or 4 times a year for light duties, i.e. mowing the verges down the lane and skimming the paddock.

You wait, come spring she will be kicking her heels up like a two year old.

If I have a picture of say, a person looking to the left, can I flip it so that they are looking to the right, e.g. make a mirror image?

If so, how?.

Last night at DTD, I sat next to Andrew "Woodsey" Woods.

Woodsey is so difficult to play against, he's totally fearless and as awkward as a bag of eels, but great fun for all that. He is also one of those increasingly rare people who take both their wins and losses with the same good grace.

Woodsey is an accomplished amateur photographer, and a seasoned traveller, and I mean proper traveling. (We're talking Michael Palin here, not Judith Chalmers).

I asked him to post some of the pics from his recent peregrinations, but alas, unlike me, he is severely afflicted by that curse of all really interesting people, the modesty gene. So, in an effort to drag his light briefly from beneath the bushel, I will, (With his permission) post some on his behalf.

Naturally, I don't know the stories behind the pictures, so I hope he will comment on some of them.


Try these for starters. (I think they were taken in Cambodia)

LOVING the pictures. We are so insular, but the real world is an astonishing place, such diversity.

Er..........needless to say we were drunk when we had these, all the staff in the bar were eating them. There are stalls on the side of the road everywhere selling them, they just fry them up to order. We also had satayed Cobra, which was very nice indeed, didn't stretch ourselves to dog on this trip, maybe next time.

Khmer Rouge Evidence.

Click to see full-size image.

You know when you hear things on the news and its goes over your head or don't think much of it? I think most of us on here will remember all the stories about the Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot a few years back. Its scary to think how recent the genoicide of about 2 million people was, and there was evidence of it everywhere. Also just about everyone you spoke to had lost a mother, father, brother or cousin to the brutal regime and in some areas entire families were wiped out and for no real reason other than madness. One of the things we didn't do was go to the killing fields, partly because we had seen and heard the stories everywhere else, but also because we met others that had been there and said you could still smell the rotting stench of flesh in the mass grave there. That gives you an idea of how recently all this happened and I think the Khmer Rouge were only finally wiped out about 10 years ago.
