Brown one Bishop reminds me of Cruella Deville. But more twisted.

Ha Ha- timing!

I don't care whether they're right wing or extreme right wing, snouts in the trough have to go

I don't care if they're left, right, or wingless.

You're saying you only care about snouts in the trough if they're right of centre?

To be fair I think we should cut Ley some slack she was born in Nigeria and she did assure us she hadn't sent any emails Wink Razz

Socialism 'on the march' to blame for Sussan Ley standing down over expenses controversy: Bronwyn Bishop

Actually I quite like socialists, WPT. I was once a committed socialist, and I still hold some possibly socialist views myself. For instance, I support public ownership of natural monopoly infrastructure, and were I to become PM I would put in place a national superannuation management scheme with vanilla offerings and very, very low fees to put the piranhas out of business. I would probably do the same with a state utility bank. There is a role for the state where there is a clear market failure.

Socialism, when extended very widely as a principle, causes economies to become poorer over time and enlarges the bloated monopoly state and its hangers-on at the expense of competitiveness and liberty. So it is problematic - but it's the postmodern libertarian Gramsci-left (and to some extent the libertarian Right) that I have come to consider a machine of ignorance, infantilism, loutishness, falling wages and cultural dementia.

If you think I'd approve of the spectacularly unpleasant Bronwyn Bishop, a doyenne of the libertarian Right, I'm obviously not communicating well. Wink She would not know a Burkean Conservative if she ran over one in her state-sponsored sikorski.

Camera shopping is giving me many WTF moments..

Anyone a camera expert? Photography fan?

Was going to get a very good compact camera but am now leaning towards an SLR instead. Just not sure if I will: A - master the manual operation that's confusing the F out of me at the moment (I've never used google so much.. wth is ISO??); B- be bothered carrying it around often enough or C - make the trips to the beach etc that I'm intending to. Intention & reality for me are often many miles apart.

I'm almost at the point of forgetting about a new camera altogether. Sad

i have a Panasonic DMC-ZS10 compact, which also has some manual settings, id highly recommend it to anybody, the quality of the photos is fantastic. i used it for our 2 trips last year, and i have some brilliant photos from it.

we recently bought an EOS Rebel T5i 700D with a lens pack. ive taken some great shots at the race track, a friend showed me how to make the fence disappear, so you only see the cars behind it. but its hard work! takes up a lot of space, and the cost of it worries me, cos im clumsy! its on my list of things to do before work gets too bust again, to take it out and spend a whole day practicing with it. and taking lots of notes! i also got a cheap online course thing on groupon, on how to use it. we have had an SLR in the past, and i took some amazing macro shots with it, then life got busy! going to make damn sure i semi master it before i take off for Alaska!

so depends what your expectations are - you can buy a ferrari but if you cant drive it, you may as well have a ford!! right now my panasonic is my go to - i stuffed up my daughters graduation shot, and thats a once only chance so that was disappointing. i should have driven the ford!

Yeah, pretty much taken compact out of the equation. Since I learned about sensor size & zoom capabilities, I'd rather have a bigger sensor (that compacts don't seem to have). Actually once the importance of the sensor was explained, I decided I wanted both - the biggest sensor & the biggest zoom, but then you're talking mega bucks. Do want to take pictures of the moon so zoom is important. Going to be SLR or nothing I think.

People.

I should be well beyond being able be surprised but the capacity for mature, educated, Adult professionals to behave like petulant children never ceases to amaze me.
