Yes folks it’s that time of the year when all the blogs that know (fuck all) post guesses about the new Canon cameras. So without breaking from this bi-annual event thought I’d post my own made up specs.

Right, with the EF1200 being a right expensive cunt Canon are about to release the stunning new EF1200 f/1 IS DO Teasmaid. Sourced from the finest bullshit, it is a lens that makes tea. But not very good tea (just like any other teasmaid then). Made up picture…..

Although it is a 1200mm the Superb DO optics (sourced from the rarest of Smirnoff Black Label Vokda bottles) mean the lens is a compact model. So small infact Canon couldn’t be arsed with knocking out a new body. They had a surplus of 300mm f/4 shells which has come in handy. Currently the retail price is not known, but after a couple of bottles of Grolsch it seems to be around the £800 mark.

Hot on the heals of this bullshit comes the stunning Canon EOS 2D. 28megapixel CCD sensor. Still no in Camera IS just to keep the Sony/Pentax/Olympus fanboys happy. The camera boasts an impresive 30fps and comes with a tethered Cray mainframe to help speed up the data transfer.

Originally designed by Tibetan monks the 2D is a camera to set the standard for the next 6 weeks. Which should coincide with the speculation about the next Canon 1.5D or even the .89D which will piss over every thing.

The gullible should look at the photographic representation of the 2d below.

Yes, pork baguette and gravy. Obviously diet coke cos I’m fat.

Found a nice Deli on opposite the currently being demolished HP Sauce factory in Birmingham. Great food at a veritable bargain price of £3.75. Oh, I’d avoid the pub next door. It’s a bit of a vile pub.

A month or so back my brother asked if I’d like to go to Duxford for the Airshow. The answer was immediate, yes (as I like aircraft). So imagine my disappointment when after getting the ticket I found out it was ‘Flying Legends’ ie old stuff.

Now I like shiny new jet planes, so faced with a day of old planes I thought I might get bored.

An early start was required, though I thought 06:30 was too early. In the end it proved to be the best time to go. Roads were fairly quiet so we got there about 08:30. The thing to remember about an airshow is to get the right pitch. We found a gap and quickly got the chairs.

There is a fair amount to do at Duxford. The US aircraft display hall, Land battle Hall, Static Aircraft and Something called ‘Air Space’. Though the latter was closed. Pity as they have a Concorde in there.

Also prior to the show you can get closer to the display aircraft for an additional £4 (Which is a fair amount). So to kill an hour or so, I went and took a few shots Airside.

Lunch/Hunger conveniently arrived then. Continue reading “IWM Duxford”

The internet is big, very big. In fact so big It’s quite easy to get lost. Well when I say lost I really mean ‘some twat will piss away large sums of money on a supposed bargain when in fact they are being shafted’.

There are many scams about. We all know the main ones phishing emails and dodgy deals on auction sites. Lately the scammers have tried a new tactic.

The new scams are websites selling current luxury electronic goods at what seems to almost half price. Many people are used to the Hong Kong sellers with ex Vat and Duty prices, but these new breed are a piss take. Take this…..
