On top of London Eye?
I don't believe I was at the top, on my way down 'eye' think, Its one of many pictures I have taken from the 'I' this year... as thanks to tesco clubcard we have annual passes to the merlin entertainments group attractions :D

That's what 'eye' thought. :lol:

Your coat, sir.
You may wish to extend that to me... I'll do it myself, I'll get my coat.

A nice image of the Shuttle Atlantis making her final re-entry, as seen from the ISS. Because the Sun was behind the Earth, you can see a thousand-mile plasma trail going right accross the limb of the planet.

That sounds really quite impessive! Is there no way you could upload that please?

Welcome back by the way :)

Thanks, good to be back, I'm currently in Aberdeen and only just found out they don't mind you going onto forums using university connections. I'm afraid I can't upload the image because it's on my home computer and I'm using my Uni laptop, but it is on the NASA website. Only problem is, I can't find it.

New Wallpaper time (I put a marginal amount of effort into this one). The background picture was taken on June 2nd 2011 and is nicknamed "22" which will be clear to the bingo lovers out there :)
Click the thumbnail for full size pics.

Meanwhile on my phone is a slightly cropped version (took the sides out) of the statue of a musical legend outside the Dominion Theatre.

Mine is a shot I took of 3CIG 1498 at Brockenhurst in April 2010 just a few weeks before withdrawal waiting to leave with the 17.59 to Lymington Pier. Happy days. :)

A certain forum member may like my current background. It is part of a theme that changes every 3 mins - all birds of prey. ;)

What's wrong with people knowing your real name? I found it out simple enough (turned out I already knew it though...) :P

In case any reasonably thick potential employers that read this forum that I slagged off 2 or 3 years ago don't manage to make the link with my email address...

Also, I like anonymity, and you only know my other usernames, who's to say that bears any resemblance to my actual name?

Finally got the chance to add this (original image NASA, so probably Public Domain).

On my new netbook, mine would be Windows 7 Starter, but I've found the Oceanis hack to get rid of the stupid Microsoft Only wallpaper. ;)
