    Bloody Sunday.

    Re: Bloody Sunday. See your Irish by the grace of God? Not one of the many Irish Americans who funded the PIRA by any chance? The fight against terrorism was a joke to many Americans, until 9/11, then they got religion over it... Mick's or Mullah's, a terrorist is a terrorist and thank god...

    Reasonable Tri pod.

    Re: Reasonable Tri pod. CK_32, If cost is an issue, buy a secondhand tripod from a car-boot sale or similar. Tripods are usually 10 a penny in such places and if you know what your looking for, its possible to get a decent quality one for next to nothing. Regards, Peter
