Kings Speech looks really good - let me know what it's like if you see it. I'm off to see 127 hours next week. caught 127hours last week. Enjoyed the last 10mins of it.

I use a 3 year old £100 battered Panasonic Lumix :( Not really into photography but enjoy taking snaps of the hills and landscapes. Was looking at a Panasonic TZ10 - at £200 its cheap and cheerful.

Guess you'll be sitting by the fire...with a bud, or 12 :s...

Happy New Year Happyhiker. Stuc a Chroin was uber challenging :shock: How was your time abroad? Budvar dark is the bizzzzz :D :D :D :D It looks like an uber challenge - adding to the necessity of a beer :lol: I enjoyed a wee beer or two on holiday too!! Holiday was fab, thanks. It was hot, blue ski...
