Yesterday the EU Council of Agriculture Ministers rejected Poland’s attempt to delay the Europe-wide ban on barren battery cages. As a result, the ban is still due to come into force as planned in 2012.

I have discovered a location near High Wycombe where they feed the local Red Kites.  Having driven thorugh many time I always wondered why there were so many Kites around, well now I know.

I am fed up with my bank.  I have a savings account with a major high street bank in the UK, they have never paid much money but at least I knew it was there.  Finally I have found an account that will pay more interest so I want to transfer the money out, easy you would think.  You would be wrong!

I do not use this bank much but have been a customer since before I went to college, a long time ago, grabbed my passport so I could prove who I was and set off to get my money transferred.

First branch I went to closed, doh it is a Saturday.  Then I make my way into High Wycombe, pay to park and try and find their other branch, finally I find it.

I use my passport as ID, but because it has expired they will not accept it.  I am still me, I have not expired so now I have to get them to check who I am.  How long do you think that will take?  Until the end of the week.

It has taken most of the winter, feeding the birds on my balcony, watching then for days on end, but finally, I have got the shot I was after.

The lighting was correct

The birds co-operated

And this is the result.

This new on-line RPG is massively, frustratingly addictive.  I joined up when the beta period finished, and have to say I am impressed.  The closest to this this try of game I have ever played is Second Life, which has far more player to player interaction, all that being said it is great fun.

I never really played games while growing up so I am finding the aswd movement controls a little frustrating, especially in the big fleet actions.  One little bug bare that I have is that you did not get a choice in your initial ship, I know they have to be small low powered things and I have ended up with a sweet little Miranda class (USS Reliant in Wrath of Khan) ship that can take a pounding and come up all phasers blazing.

The interface is a little clunky and I hate getting logged out half way through , then having to queue to get back in just to find I have to start all over again, also the fact that completed missions are not always saved, but I guess it is still new.

More + Screen shots coming soon!
