A couple from the weekend.

Just watched the first episode... Very good. @Bluewolf, @Mel81x, @Viva la FCB - you have to watch it!

Also an odd little man..

Me too, heard the sunsets are great!

HE'S HERE! Welcome home Fyre!

I do like to get out and take pics.

The UK should apologise as well.

Fair enough mate. Keep on going! I want to go to Galápagos one day.

@Toinho @CaaC (John) @Harry @Devil-Dick Willie Doing a bit of reading on Aussie history and it is mental the stuff that isn't taught in schools. Absolutely flabergasted that Australia nearly blew up in civil/independance war post-WW1. The British Empire was pressuring Australia to payback loans that were used to purchase military equipment, and the Premier of NSW Jack Lang opposed that on grounds that slavery was banned in the Empire and that paying the loans would cripple Australia to the point of economic flatlining, ergo making the people essentially slaves to the loan repayments. He was backed by the courts but he was pressued by the governor of NSW to resign leading to the police under Lang and the (largely depleted) military under the NSW governor having a tense mexican stand-off. Lang backed down to avoid bloodshed but the responce was that 40% of Sydney's population (400,000 people) marched under protest of his forced resignation. Lang at the time was the post powerful politician in Australia being the NSW premier, the first to defy British demands, and the first (sorry Gough) to be *sacked* from his position. The man is considered to have had a personality cult, due to his immense popularity.

Sorry to hear @El Profesor

Very sorry to hear that. Everton spoke out after his grandfather died no? Every day Bolsonaro edges as the worst "leader" there is in this crisis.

I've used Stellarium for years and love it... Another app I would highly recommend is Photographer's Companion (I bought the Pro version to support the dev but the free version is also good enough), a great app which basically helps you with the adjustments and settings for a specific situation you want to capture, and has plenty of useful tools in it.

I use my Samsung mobile for all my photos and I have a few shots like these saved into my photo files.

Yep, both the movie and the new TV series are adaptations of the graphic novel!

0 cases in Andalucía yeserday! @carefreeluke Also sorry to hear of such terrible news @El Profesor . This is when the virus becomes real for people and isn't just something they follow on the news. I hope you find a way to get through such an awful time.

Sorry to hear about that.

sorry to hear that.

RIP

That’s very sad mate, RIP

Sorry to hear @El Profesor

If anyone was wondering, this is what happens when you engage with the right wing keyboard warriors on Twitter. First I replied to The Core's tweet, they blocked me when my reply got the most likes of any of their actual followers. Then a guy replied calling me a bot and blocked me before I had a chance to reply .

Sorry to hear that RIP.

Sorry to hear that mate...

Oh man, I am so sorry to hear that Thoughts with you and your family at this difficult time.

Have a good one @CaaC (John) Glad you got to see wee Kaiden. You idolise the boy so much even I think of him as wee Kaiden in my head

You must remember these days then @CaaC (John)… The lowest form of accommodation in Victorian England was a place where you could for the price of a penny, dangle over a piece of rope for the night... I bet there used to be many of your tavern going nights where you ended up in places like this rather than going home to the rolling pin isn't that right mate..

Hmmmm… Common sense you say, can't wait for that

Well, guys, I am 71 today and just had a wee visit from our daughter and wee Kaiden which was great but horrible really as they stood at the end of the stairs, no kisses or cuddles and wee Kaiden singing "Happy Birthday Granddad...", once again FUCK THIS VIRUS!! Got some nice prezzies too and the card the daughter made was from a photo of me and wee Kaiden when he was 3 years old or thereabouts, one of her favourites photos and it's from wee Kaiden showing me how to assemble a bloody lego man ... Now 6 years old A nice pillow for my big fat arse and some Star Trek socks

Civilization VI is now free on Epic Games.

The OC Never actually watched it in full as a kid so doing it now

Just ordered an ultra-wide angle lens, Tokina 12-24mm f/4 AT-X Pro DX II. Got it on a very good offer, and since I don't have an ultra-wide yet, this has come at just the right time...

You might want to check out 500px. It's basically the same photo sharing concept as Instagram, but solely for photographers (all levels, from the very beginners to pros with amazing portfolios), so you don't get stupid influencers, advertisers and whatnot. They also run numerous photography challenges and quests regularly. If you wish, you can also license your photos with them and sell them that way.

Chinese ambassador to Israel found dead at his residence

My uncle died this afternoon. It´s such a tricky disease, we thought he was cured and then he ended up returning to the hospital last week and died there.
