could you possibly rephrase that? i dont really remember chicken but i only went to bondi beach for a couple of hours and we only went past the other one on a bus tour.
 
Added what TG's speed typing left out.;)
 
What did I say? :confused:

There was a fried chicken shop there called Ben's Chicken, was not part of a chain. Famous all over Sidney! Any drunk that exits the Bondi hotel would find his way there at night. Owner had a secret recipe for the fried chicken, lovely. Wife used to work there, and brought home many a chicken meal for hungry me! :D
 
i don't remember a chicken shop, but i'm not really that observant, plus it was too cold to go to bondi to swim because it was winter, plus i was focused on those sng's
 
Haha the SNG in the second and third photo...surely they realise there's a huge tree in front of them... :-rofl2
 
Cheating slightly as this one is here in the UK, but I was on holiday :D It also merges nicely 2 of my hobbies - visiting preserved railways and satellites tv

I spotted this tiddly dish next to a caravan at the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway

ha ha ha!!! I bet when a train goes by they lose their signal though!!! :-rofl2

'tis a Porty kit-type dish by the way... :D
 
Fortunately the trains run on that middle line - the near line is just used for stabling stock.

Id imagine the caravan belongs to one of the volunteers on the railway as its on the edge of a grubby area and had the coal stacks nearby, so wouldnt be used much when the trains are actually running. :D
 
Meanwhile, whilst wandering around the yard at Haworth on the nearby Keighley & Worth Valley Railway this old Amstrad dish complete with blue cap lnb caught my eye.

Here's a few pics from dishes i spotted in Geneva last week during Xmas

Spot the particularities of each dish ;)
 
Great way to decorate your dish over the festive period.
 
Just Back last week from Majorca, (Portals Nous) Weather Fab by the way. Anyway here is a local Photo.

Unfortunately I wasn't quick enough to take a picture in the taxi, but i thought i'd mention it anyway.

I was just in a taxi from LAX to Marina Del Rey (L.A.) and about 5 minutes from the airport I saw the biggest array of dishes I've ever seen. Countless number of huge dishes, including BT and directtv branded ones. But the one that caught my eye, was a massive curved rectangular dish, that clearly had 20/30 or so LNBs on it.:-worship

I had a google and it seems to be the directtv uplink site: http://www.tallguide.com/uplink.html
You can see the big dish that caught my eye in the photo.
 
Heres some pics take around northern Crete over the last couple of weeks. The town ones are taken around the pleasant quiet village of Georgiopolis

The first one in this section was bolted to the top of a shower block at the village football ground (no grass - a dirt surface)
