According to Facebook, Villa Park will be swamped by MILLIONS of Albion fans. The limit on tickets will be as nothing since the Blue & White Striped Army will emerge, like rats from every available drainpipe. At all ends of the ground. Smaller supporters will sit on Poyet's shoulder squawking...

Ewwwwwwwwwwww! Even more ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I have indeed got a Nikon (D2XS) as it happens) and my favourite lens (does everything and has turned in great results) is my Nikon 17-55 f2.8. I've also got a Nikon 24-80 3.5, Sigma 20mm,Sigma14mm,Nikon 300mm (too slow!) and a Sigma 55-150 f2.8 (which isn't as good as it ought to be) and, er...

Not being a Canon snapper, I can't offer a comment based on direct experience but what I would say is that neither of these lenses are very fast. Thus you may well have just the same issues with low light. Made worse, of course, when zooming at the infinity end of the scale! So I'd go for one...

PS. The "invisible" stadium from above.

Both me and camera plan to be at Villa so get in touch if necessary.

Just in case everyone isn't heartily sick of snow pics, I took this little study today and rather like it:

I shall start the day by driving Lord B to the station (as I did throughout the Big Snow last week) or, if the trains are totally f***ed, right to his work. After a walk with the dog I shall come home and continue making a tatter coat.

Perhaps they knocked £50 for nuisance value?

Snowing like ever so out here in BN8 But has Southwick been saved or submerged?

Some fine snaps here. I'm waiting for some proper snow out here in BN8. Only there's only so many pictures of snowy nowhere that people would want to bother seeing! Like none.

How fortunate that most managers are probably skiving too!

If you read it properly, you'll see that while Snopes says "true", they go on to explain that the scam itself was sorted out back in 2005. Since then, all reports are just tiresome repetitions of a situation that no longer exists!

It's an ancient scam that has been a hoax for some while. Very regrettably the warning is still being circulated - and by organisations who really ought to check their facts first: Belize phone scam hoax http://www.snopes.com/fraud/telephone/pds.asp

I've absolutely no idea, Gareth! But I do know that, when Matt asked (for the purposes of publication only), I supplied a very high resolution version of a certain picture which contains a Mr Mendoza and a Mr Ward. Amongst others.

I am planning to give Robertsbridge a fiery send-off tonight. But it's more of a diabolical inferno than a BBQ. Although come to think of it, is there a difference?

If page 192 delivers what I think it might, any REMF players wanting a print for signing at the Pool Night should get in touch!

It's positively ECUADORIAL in BN8 right now.

Ahhhh. Izal. We have a roll of the stuff in our downstairs lavvy. Purely to add a touch of retro style and strictly not for bottoms. Or for Lord B to take anywhere near Withdean in order to demonstrate the rightness of what he (and Hiney) said.
