Just a bit gutted today about missing the A380 landing at Filton, only found out about half an hour after it landed. Last time the A380 was around a few of us from work found a hill with a good view, and I got some ok photos but this time it I’d no idea it was landing.

Learning something new everyday
New old market square

Not living in Nottingham I don’t get to the city centre that often anymore, I’m about 120 miles away, so its a bit of a trek. So when I do get into the centre something always seems to have changed. This time it was the new square, much changed since the last photo I took:
I only has a few minutes to grab some shots, so I didn’t get a really good look at the overall design, but I guess anything beats the old square ponds with single jets in the middle. No sign of any washing up liquid in the new fountains yet either.
Shame the weather was not better, on a sunny day, I think you could get some great photos.

From the Pyrenees to the Alps
I bookmarked this back in November, but after posting that photo of the Pyrenees yesterday, this seemed the perfect thing to post as a followup. Doubly so given it made metafilter.
Across the valley

Mostly just testing Flickr posting to the blog but its nice to remember being up in the Pyrenees, really high up looking down on Quilan, it was my first time in real mountains, so many beautiful views.
The Whole Virgin Vs. Sky Thing
Reading the on going handbag at dawn thing between Sky and Virgin ( I’ve only got freeview so its not a big deal for me). I can’t help thinking thepiratebay and mininova are going to see way more traffic from Virgin IP addresses (which from June is going to be even quicker). You have the illegal option getting easier and easier, with the legal way getting more and more of a pain.
