Easily done! I’m constantly thinking I’ve found an answer to a question about the GX9, reading for a while, and then realising it’s about the G9, and it’s not relevant to my body. It’s a shame it’s not been updated yet, I really love this little camera and think that with a few updates, it could rival the Fuji x100 series in many ways.

I’ll actively avoid it and take other routes. When I did removals in London, we’d go out of our way to avoid similar roads, they’re always extra hassle. It makes loads of sense to prioritise pedestrians

So what would you guess this coming winter might be like? Is there enough information this early in the year to compare with years past, or will predictions become more accurate later into autumn?

I have a couple of fantastic older manual Nikon lenses that I use with my LUMIX GX9, and I love that combo. I have a simple cheap adapter, and the shots I get with the 300mm ai-s are stunning, I love that combo. As it’s a crop sensor, my lovely 1.2 50mm becomes more of a portrait/tele lens, but if that bothers you then a speed booster like the Metabones isn’t silly money, and gets you back down towards the original focal length.

I’m really hoping that there’s a GX9ii in the pipeline as I love mine but would appreciate a couple of upgrades, like phase detect etc. However, I think that the GX9 is still a very, very hard camera to beat for street and travel, and the range of lenses available for M4/3 makes it very versatile.

My thoughts exactly

A mate’s bands used to be called Brownstar

Beyond me, it’s a great app

Lots of parking too

Glad to have helped! I’ve been consistently amazed by this app, it’s really hard to catch it out. I tried really hard walking around an old stately home belonging to an Edwardian plant-hunter, tried it on all kinds of obscure plants and trees from Asia, the Americas and all over. I can’t remember it truly failing. I think it’s backed by a quite lively community of plant nerds - if something really is unusual, the community looks at the photos, and tries to solve it, and then that in turn teaches the app. It’s a great system.

So, I’m a filthy cheat and used PlantNet. It suggests, with a fairly high degree of certainty, that this is Arabian Starflower, which is a cool name.

Having driven modern Unimogs, I can say with certain that you can absolutely design a vehicle to carry heavy loads, go almost anywhere, be a truly multi-roll vehicle, and have virtually no blind spot. Has virtually no bonnet though, and no chrome wheels, so won’t compensate for having a tiny dick in the same way as a giant pickup though

Exactly this, it was a weight of my shoulders!

If I lived in a city, I’d love one of those! I live right out in the sticks, and it’s worrying enough meeting a big vehicle down the lanes on a bike, so being wider and lower is terrifying. I had a go on a recumbent bike a while ago, and would have bought it if it weren’t for the feeling of permanently being about to be squashed by a kid in a tractor. An electric-assisted recumbent trike that looks like a spaceship, and has room for some shopping would be mint anywhere else though!

As opposed to the conservatives, who just connive and scam and destroy public services. Labour have been in power for a couple of months, and have twelve years of the worst government imaginable to try to correct. The utter incompetence, corruption and mismanagement of the conservatives have left them with a multi-billion deficit to try to correct, I’d be shocked if they got everything right in trying to steer that sinking ship

I’m surprised and saddened for it to have taken so long for someone (in this case, me) to have mentioned Astronaut Dolphin Detective from Mr Pickles.

My god. That… that’s enough reality tv, thank you

Again with this skewed presentation of facts. The tories have spent 12 years absolutely fucking our economy into a cocked hat, and then there are shocked headlines that labour haven’t fixed it in a month or two. To be honest, reporting anything that sky has to say as unbiased is a joke

You’ve enunciated that really well. I’ve never really tried put that into words, it’s just something that I’m surprised that more people don’t see. It drives me nuts that everything has to be given the same credence no matter how obvious the disparity of moral weight

What a video, phenomenal. It’s a great song, and so good to see the Ten Foot Wizard tee shirt. Golden Fool off the single is a monstrous song too, they’re just getting better and better
