I think it would be better with you and Ron, James.  lol

Are you a fan of the Carry On films?   Not my sense of humour at all!

Diana they were British Comedy Films from about 1958 to 1978.  With pretty much the same cast throughout.  I thought some of them were very funny way back then, don't know what I would think of them now!!

What sort of comedy programmes or films or comedien appeals most to your sense of humour?

James you burnt down an borrowed "tent" camping...LOL...must of been quite some marshmellow you were trying to melt for your smores!!!

Lily Tomlin when she was the telephone operator I thought was an cute comedy skit, she's like talking to city hall these days all the time any more...but Benny Hill use to make everyone laugh their heads off at times also. Most of today's comedy puts me off, as its accidents or making fun of others directly....not the situation.

We are still snow skiing around these parts..latest I can ever think of it..so "Christmas in July" is an real possibilty. So question...what would be an "wow!" factor of an Christmas gift this year. I can remember when my hubby was in the shopping store line waiting for his "Elmo" when they came out one year...for the grandkids...along with millions of other people.

Last of the Summer Wine is my favourite all time I think. Brilliantly written, excellent cast. Gentle comedy but very funny. I could spend my days like Compo and his mates.....

What was the first record you bought, single or LP

OMG! You are dating me...lol. I remember it very well. It was 1972 and I was 10 years old and I bought this 45 record with my baby sitting money. I stayed up all night with a girlfriend playing it over and over and over and over...until my mother came in and screamed at us to stop. lol. The song was:

Little Willie by a band called Sweet.

Don't remember that one, Diana. Was that an American band?

Do you ever frame any photos you've taken and display them in your home?

Occasionally, usually of the grandkids.

When you have your images on pc do you 'photoshop' them at all or use them as they are??

I like to crop my shots to 3:2 ratio.  It helps me to identify, and accentuate, the particular part of a scene that attracted me.  The dotted crop box helps me to ignore periphery detail before saving.  Actually, I find lots of good shots in the car's side mirror.  The view behind is virtually 'cropped' by the mirros's edge.  For storage on the laptop I like to keep colours at 300 pixels, and Grayscale at 200.

I generally use my photos SOOC (straight out of the camera) as I don't have any photoshop type programmes.  But I do have one which came with the computer where I can just adjust brightness/contrast/shadows and highlights and I sometimes use that to fix exposure problems!
