*puts hand up* I'm female and been in the hobby since I was 11, but I'm an outdoorsy nerd. When I lived in America, I noticed quite a few more women in the hobby, but not so much in the UK. I don't think the techy/science side of the hobby necessarily scares off the ladies, but more men seem to...

Nice pic! London meets the tropics :P I saw a couple of parrots on Eel Pie Island the other day.

Richmond never crossed my mind, surprisingly. When I was out doing some photography there, I did notice a few signs about not collecting things, going in certain areas, etc. I was there once admiring the mosses/other plants near one of the ponds (didn't plan on taking it), but I guess I was...

I've been doing a bit of reading on this. I saw someone selling collected wood on ebay; not exclusively for aquarium use. Is it legal to collect wood? From what I've read, the general idea is that the wood belongs to someone. The person who owns the tree or the land it's on, for example. So...

I was wondering if the Aquatic Design Centre in London is open on Dec. 28th. Anyone know? I'll shoot them an email in any case, but thought they might not reply soon enough. Wasn't sure if they close on Bank Holidays :?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you! :D

Nice one :thumbup: :clap:

Congrats :) Hope you, wife, and TJ are doing well!

Congrats, Sam! She's lovely :D

Iliveinazoo, you're quite right. I think this mentality stretches farther than the borders of the USA. I only mentioned America because it's where the FrogBox-O-Death is from. I wasn't bashing Americans, just pointing out a fact about mentality towards these products :) I'm an American, for the...

Not all of them (us?), unfortunately. This sort of thing is readily bought for and by beginners and novices. A lot of aquarists start out that way, with a goldfish in a bowl or a betta, etc. I'm guilty of having a betta in small quarters back in the day. The sad thing is that it can start out...

Hmm, I know everyone is paranoid about this. But I just remembered that a couple of months ago I started getting spam everyday on my email associated with PFK. I don't know if my info is on that list (can't get link to work). Luckily I don't have any important information associated with that...

I got about a paragraph into that and started looking for a compass... But I'll reread to educate myself :lol:

Hey Garuf, did you mean Ian Stock? Found him by chance. I thought this was particularly good.

If you think those are charming, have a look at these... http://www.mokei.de/t-gauge/beispiel2.jpg Smallest model rail Have a look at the video on there.

I can't find info on him :P I'll keep looking though...

http://www.miniatur-wunderland.com/exhibit/video/4-minutes-wunderland/ Thought this was interesting. The attention to detail is crazy :)

Thanks :)

I finally watched this on iplayer today. I thought some of the music and sound effects were unnecessary, but still quality content, as usual. I loved the gobies that climbed the waterfall. Anyone know their name? *sigh* Made me miss my skipper, too :(

And here I thought by moving to the UK I got away from natural disasters... Interesting pics. I don't think I'd mind being in a mini tornado :P

Set your background wallpaper to 'Flypaper'. Never had this happen to me, but good info for the future 8)

Sure, if anyone wants them. All but my very secret ones :D

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.... I found out that white cake boxes are pretty darn good for taking photos too :D

:lol: I didn't even notice that! Now if I could just do that in a fish tank. Cake party? Eh, sure...not a chance :D If I ever go to one of these meetings, I'll have to bring a cake.

I knew someone who was just like that. Pasties are on my list of things to do. I'd imagine they're not hard to do, are they? lmao...Sorry, you're 4 months late :D

:shock: Some of the silliest people are on this forum, I swear...I mean that in the nicest possible way, btw :P Here are a few of my recent things... Vanilla Chocolate Torte Banoffee Pie Chocolate Hazelnut Cake Gluten free Choc Hazelnut Cake And finally whipped dark chocolate...

I was just wondering if anyone here likes to do fancy cooking/baking :D I personally love making cakes, desserts, and homemade bread. Anyone else share this hobby? I'll post pics of some of my forays in to the sweeter side of baking, if anyone is interested. No bread pics though :roll:

I tried a fishwiki, of sorts. Didn't go that well, but I'd imagine it would be quite useful on a bigger, popular site like ukaps.
