What a difference a logo can make ... National Geographic $78 (I paid about £80 3 or 4 years ago - I know: mug!) http://shop.nationalgeographic.com/ngs/product/photography/photography-gear-and-bags/national-geographic-explorer-shoulder-gear-bags 7DayShop £22.49 (different colour, same bag) http://www.7dayshop.com/7dayshop-canvas-photo-messenger-shoulder-bag?backUrl=L3Bob3RvLXZpZGVvLXN1cHBsaWVzL2dhZGdldC1iYWdzLWNhbWVyYS1jYXNlcw== I watched the 7DayShop video demo; it is EXACTLY the same bag. Good bag, though.

Good bag, though. Thats a bargain, might invest. I was walking through Liverpool some time back and ventured into a Jessops where they were having a sale on Lowepro bags. I saw one I had been looking at online (listed at £120), but was on offer for £59.99, I began to look at it and the manager said to me 'it's the last one, if you want it I will go to £39.99' Well, a man can never have too many bag's' to paraphrase the wife

I hope you moved fast; they sold out on the first day.

I'm not overly surprised, they were a real bargain at that price.

The "new" Flickr has been around for a couple of days, what do people think?

I like it.

Although, TBH, I've never been a big fan of the way that Flickr "dumps" everything into the so-called Photostream, where it remains even after being sorted into a Set and/or Collection.

The new Flickr continues to do this and I would have liked the option to alter this default.

Missed out, but got a nice canvas rucksack which is ideal for carrying my camera without being as bulky as my Lowepro.

Went to watch my grandson play for Titans under 8's against East Hull last night and he asked me to take photos. When I got there and got my camera out I was approached by an irate woman who lambasted me for daring to take photos of my own grandson, I asked what the problem was and her reply was some excuse about perverts getting to see them.

It's becoming a sad world when important milestones such as a childs sports day or their first RL game are lost for posterity due to peoples perceived notion that everyone is a pervert as a starting point. At least my kids got photos of their sports days, when perverts didn't exist to upset everyone, current generations are not so lucky.

Shame really, he scored a cracking try right in front of us.
