Brand new ITV1 Saturday night show is looking for people to set up their friends, relatives or partners! Do you know somebody who has a hoard of embarrassing items or simply has an amusing collection that you just wouldn’t expect? Do they have a cupboard full of bizarre clothes, objects,...

I am looking to book up a London theatre break for one Saturday night in July. I was hoping some people might have some advice on good sites that organise it. Or should I do it separately and therefore does anyone know good hotels within close proximity to the theatre land! Do I risk not booking...

I'm going to be in Barcelona in August and I'm looking for recomendations on where to stay. Only going to be there from Saturday until Monday or possibly Tuesday. There are 6 of us going, so in order to keep costs down I'm considering hostels, or maybe an apartment. Hotels seem too expensive...

Happy Birthday Mike.

Hi all, On the front page we have a small box that is displaying some very light hearted/neat quotes.. does anyone have any we can add to this system? All we need is the quote and who it is from, and ideally their born/died years where available.. and then we can feed them into the system....

The lad in the red top is one of the lads in a group I tutored and mentored last year at school. :confused: Nigel.

Came across this tonight on the news and yet another blow against common sense and powers being abused, loved the bit about how the policeman said he has the authority to delete the pictures on the phone though. :mad:

Hi all, I see the Police are being made to look foolish again.. this time by one of their local community Police Officers... The story that makes me think that is here: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23776068-bbc-man-in-terror-quiz-for-photographing-st-pauls-sunset.do ...

***Happy Birthday Walter*** I hope you have a good day.

Happy New Year to all.

Thought some of you may be interested to listen to Brian May being interviewed on last Saturday's ( 26.12.09) Radio 4 programme 'Saturday Live'. Brian was discussing, among other things, his new book about the stereograph pictures of T.L. Williams. Listen to the link below: ...

as the title says, can I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the best for the festive season. I hope to meet up with everyone again some time soon, though the distances involved from another country :) can sometimes make social occasions more infrequent than we all would like!

Hi All, I'm back at uni at the moment studying my diploma and am after a bit of help! I've got a project which involves making a short film about a site in Bristol, which was an old gas works. In part of the video I was thinking about overlaying some old industrial / factory footage over the...

Hi everyone, After a long absence from these forums I have returned - only to wonder why I have been missing all the wonderful photographs, stimulating and intelligent comment and chat for so long. My absence can be attributed mainly to a UKx member (who shall remain nameless) who suggested...

I've just noticed that it's Penny's birthday today, so a very big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you and I hope you're having a great day.:D

On Friday October 2nd 2009 (next Friday as I write this), the whole of Spalding Grammar School will be doing a sponsored walk in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust. One of our lads is currently in remission from Leukaemia and was a patient in a ward paid for by this charity. Our goal is to raise...

Hi Guys I'm back after an extended absence, with a new toy. S

If you could choose one place in the world to visit, what would it be. I would like to see the northern lights in Norway.

Greetings to everyone. Some of you may remember me from almost three years ago. A lot of things have changed since I was last here. I have changed jobs and have moved from Texas to Tennessee. I have also made trips to Italy and France and have many pictures to share. I also upgrade my camera to the...
