@IndianaTux @FozzTexx Gosh. When I were a lad we’d just rummage through the big box of scrap bits for that kind of thing.
@FozzTexx Cool. Hope it holds together. My similar botch is still going strong.
@FozzTexx (Last time I *just* managed to countersink the hole on inside & got enough thread to poke through… Doesn’t look doable w/ those.)
@FozzTexx It is really sodding annoying when that happens. Designed for thin sheet metal?

@24hoursBristol Ta. I managed to work around it by disabling Javascript-looks like the page won’t accept entries for very first timeslot.
@JohnLRiceJLR @hawklord2112 Yup. Second one in a fortnight. Both about the same age. I’m generally careful with them, too.
@24hoursBristol Hi! I can’t upload image—site says my hour slot (00:00 - 01:00) is invalid. Sent question about that but not heard back?
chudders Should you sell your DSLR and get a fuji/ mirrorless camera? Nice summary from @dougchinnery dougchinnery.com/2014/08/should…
@scorpion1966 Grrr.
@scorpion1966 Bah. Second time I’ve been up the thing and the view both times was ten feet of rock and some greyness.
@scorpion1966 I was up there the day after. Apparently a slightly wetter, mistier experience, but still very glad I did it ;)
That was a long long weekend. Back to work properly today. (Worth it. First time I’ve climbed Snowdon, though I got the train back down!)

@Lillput I’m glad we walked up Snowdon *before* the pub, let’s put it like that. Also glad I wussed out and got the train down.
Morning all. I and my hangover and my blisters are in Snowdonia.
@Leglesszebra @corylus @JannerTM @getrunningapp Hurrah!
@chubbybannister You’d have to post-process. RAW is everything the sensor sees, so camera settings like B&W only affect JPEG in camera.
This is the view from the top of Snowdon. Other views may be available in better weather. instagram.com/p/sH_PA6pC1s/
Lovely day for it. instagram.com/p/sH-6dqJC1H/
@guriben Congratulations. At least you lived through the night.
@johnfbraun Yup. Traditional accompaniment to fish & chips, especially in northern England, and apparently Wales…
@chubbybannister Don’t know much about Elements. Were you shooting raw? Normally with raw choosing B&W on camera only affects the preview.
@mnowster You will not be disappointed. #whereisjessicahyde
@MsMottram But yes, it is something of a shibboleth.
@MsMottram “Sorry. I’m a southerner *shrug*” seemed to be accepted well enough here in Wales…
@mnowster So bloody good. Neil Maskell especially fine.
@OpinionatedGeek You have my sympathy. I don’t travel well, either. #airports

@libbymiller So I’ve heard. From what I’ve seen that appears to be a Wheatley hallmark…
@libbymiller Still not seen that yet. I’m not much of a film watcher, really.
@libbymiller Oh! Had to look up who he was. Was recently remembering how good Kill List was, after Neil Maskell’s performance in Utopia.
Jesus. Just woken up by what sounds like @NPAS_Filton hovering over my bedroom. Headache.
@chubbybannister I’d’ve said so, yes.

@Mouse_House It’s one of the sites at Bangor Uni. Not sure what it actually means.

@chubbybannister I am, but I’ve been too busy to plan a shot. Got the midnight to 1am time slot.
Damn it. Seems like half the time I try to go to the Galley, they’re closed.
Thanks, folks. Pronunciation sorted.
@bexxi Ta!
@guriben Ah! I’m using Bangor Uni as a cheaparse hotel while I’m in the area, and I’ll be on the Ffriddoedd site, apparently…
@guriben Ta.
“Ffriddoedd”. I’m guessing something like “Frithith”, Welsh people?
@MResponsively I’ll answer that question, but you have to sign up to my newsletter first.
@xabl It’s going to be fun when the self-driving cars start doing that…
@StiffPigeon Well, indeed. It’s hard enough to walk up bloody Snowdon without swimming the Atlantic first…
No, Google Maps, if I am asking for a route from Bangor to Snowdon, it is not that likely that I meant to start in Bangor, Maine.
