The "Anything Goes" thread

I guess he'll use the better materials the second time around.

He can't afford it at the moment. And he won't let me help him. :-( Sometimes he's as stubborn as his mother.;-)

That was lucky in that the expensive kit survived!

It really was! He bought it last year.

Last summer, my son built a hut for his telescope. Unfortunately, he used cheap material. This is what the last two days' storms did to it:

The roof is lying on the hut's left side.

I took this picture from his room's window and tried to sharpen it with Snapseed. Sorry if it's still a little out of focus!
His telescope "survived" the bad weather without greater harm.

He'll be able to repair that without much trouble.
His scope looks impressive. Does he use it for astrophotography?

Yes, that's why he bought it. But he didn't have too many occasions until now.

Every other year, the BBC hosts Comic Relief events to raise funds for good causes both overseas and in the UK. Impressive amounts of monies are pledged etc.

This year, over £75m has been pledged.

The digital world has revolutionized astrophotography. Long ago I attempted it with film, with mixed results. I was an impatient young man too so that didn't help.

I hope your son posts some of his work in the future.

Gone fishing. I recognise this song but don't know the singers? I'm sure one of you guys will tell me. Sure do sound familiar.

This makes me cross. Why destroy a thing of beauty just for the cash from the scrap.

What! That's very bad. The scrap thieves who plunder memorials, statues etc are contemptible.

Most likely a lot more than cross. We tend to understate emotions etc.!

These scum make my blood boil. I'd take action........ ***#**!!!¡¡+===#***¿..........,

I guess if we expressed our feelings in a hot blooded way, the posts would be deleted and we would gain lots of points, infractions etc.

Well, those poor people rely on their bridges to get to work, fields etc... Wouldn't you be cross if you had to wade across the river every time you wanted to go shopping? Statues are for people to admire and enjoy. They aren't there for thieves to make money with. These things are built using our money so technically they are stealing from us.

Of course Hayless.I am sorry to have made light of your feelings.It was late and I was a bit punch drunk I guess.

A criminal act no doubt. I would not have any qualms about reporting such acts if I witnessed.Scumbags have no sense of the common good and are a menace.
