My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100 | Hardly noticed anything up here in the north west. Typical of you pantywaisted southern jessies to get worked up about a little light breeze. I've seen more wind after I've eaten a can of baked beans...

But I have to say that today's wind was a little more than even you could generate on a curried baked beans and Guinness diet.

My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100 | I took this photo down at the sea front near New Brighton. Have to say I'm very pleased with it, mind you there are another 10 or so very mediocre ones to go with it. It really is a matter of luck. Sorry I didn't post it earlier but first of all I forgot to take my card reader in, then I forgot my USB memory stick and then I left my memory stick at work!

My System: Various digiboxes, broken Nokia 9800S, numerous analogue boxes. My lovely little lappy, HP Omnibook 6100 | The wind farm is off the coast of Crosby on the other side of the river, which is of course the River Mersey. You can also see the docks and old grain store there. The "old" Brighton was, and still is, on the south coast somewhere...

Do you mind if I have a little play with it to get rid of the shadow?
