    @Iron Eye: sounds like you want persuading...
    well, I'm playing some tunes and the beer is free.
    ..actually, the beer's not free, but that's still half-good.
    ...and it ain't gonna rain (latest info as of this post)

    I am a winner. It looks like you had a great time but I'm glad I never came, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford the deposit on the house I'm moving into :-D

    in future, try

    - slower shutter speed

    - panning with the rider

    - bit of flash (maybe -1 or less EC) just to sharpen him out of the blur caused by the panning and slow shutter speed

    - get on yer knees or yer belly and point upwards

    iron eye: i think you should start that website esp seeing as you spend all your time, it seems, by the computer instead of getting your arse outta the house to have some fun..is this what you've become? critiquing photos on forums? fuck you should get out more... like friday???

    nah it's not blaggable... you cant even get a bike on a virgin train without a reservation, for which you need a ticket.

    besides, i had a really good time this weekend :-)

    and anyway i like moaning :-)

    To be fair the last Virgin trains Brum to MCR voyage turned into a real farce...firstly they wouldnt let us on without a pass, then we had the wrong pass and couldn't get on. Then we somehow got trapped in the bike compartment and had to push our bikes through the seating area to get out and nearly didn't get off before the train doors closed. The night train from the city centre to whereverwestayed was another saga in itself, as we were sandwiched - with our bikes - between 200 hundred semi-conscious and close to puking rat-arsed Liverpudlians and had to literally fight our way of the train. Not to mention that MoD actually managed to miss this train to begin with and somehow turned up 5 mins down the line. Trains and bikes just don't mix too well in this country.
