Rather than have a thread for horse racing, one for boxing, another for darts, with more for mud wrestling and tiddlywinks - is it worth having a 'general' sports thread, for the sports which aren't as popular and possibly don't need their own?

If some of the lesser used threads could be merged with this one, it may help tidy up the section too.

Anyway, is anyone off to Plate Weekend?
Hopefully the weather will stay dry this weekend coming - for a change.
The Hoppings and The Plate usually bring rain!

I know this off topic thread is a bit messy, with all sorts of threads, duplicate threads and threads that have one post in and nowt else - but....

Does anyone read or buy Viz?
Haven't bought it for a long while, but follow them on fb.

If you haven't read Viz or come across it before - here are a few photos and excerpts from the comic.

I know many photographers love to get the sun at the right angle.

Of course we can second guess at where it's going to be and there are some angles where you're not shooting directly into the sun so it doesn't work out too bad, but I thought I'd post a link to a website I've just found...

I'm not overly obsessed with the whole idea of photographing at the right angle, but I'm going to try it out on sunny days in the near future.

Noticed a very brown Merc tonight.
Never seen or noticed it before - may be new, it may have been in the fleet a while.
SF06 ODX.

Guten Tag,

I've created this thread to discuss the problems that come with the Pronto X21 between Bishop and Newcastle. Obviously with the amount of branded vehicles that are VOR - the service is in need of new vehicles, which may come this year as people are predicting.

To start, what would be the most suitable vehicle type to replace the Presidents? Obviously, as most of us know with the TTX, a few vehicles are just unable to cope with going up and down the motorway.

Also, I would just like to point out, a lot of the VOR vehicles end up on Scholars at my school as a result of being on maintenance so much at Chester. It's typically at least once a day, in the morning and/or afternoon.

All changes for Stagecoach from VOSA go here or any upcoming changes!

All changes for Arriva from VOSA go here or any upcoming changes!

Steam locomotives are using the Esk Valley Line between Whitby and Battersby in a few weeks, in an extension of the Pickering to Whitby runs.
