Abide with me' has a special connection for me, it was the favourite hymn of my nan who lived through so much. So just a bit disappointed, especially as, as someone said earlier in the thread that many people confused it with the national anthem. This wasn't irreverence, and ignorance isn't...
You can't whack Ethiopia, been there every January for many years, very safe aside from the pickpockets, loads to see and do, great weather and nice peeps.
They booed the national anthem and even abide with me FFS, absolutely disgusting, hope they're stuck there till late tomorrow afternoon
Come on Real Madrid.
As a photographer, this event is not to be missed, myself and Mrs Shingle are going up the night before and sleeping somewhere along the mall to bag our spot for parade
At the recent Southampton game I had to go to the loo 5 mins after the start of second half, I was down and up in 45 seconds and despite a violent shake I ran back to my seat with pi$$ all over my trousers past about 400 people on the North Stand concourse standing around in little groups...

Offered a free...
Can I also make a point about crediting or not crediting the photographer.
People shouldn't think, oh, I'll say that I'll credit the photographer if I'm found out. This might appeal to an amateur/hobbyist as they probably never see their work in print or online. Crediting me, as a pro, wouldn't...
I am sympathetic to the OP, as I deem it to be the fault of the web designer, but the general idea that you should pay more if you're caught out stealing photographers images I'm a hundred per cent in agreement with. And the sooner this message gets out to the general public the better.

Can I clear something up. 'Royalty free' doesn't mean that you can use an image without paying for it, It is in fact a license model that is becoming less popular. Some of my images are 'royalty free' on Alamy, it just means that the user can use the image without making specific conditions of...
