    Coming back to UKAPS...

    Hi all, Many of you have noticed my absence over the last 12 months or so. For personal reasons I'd rather not go into too much details but I'm really happy to say that soon I will be contributing a lot more. I have two tanks to re-scape soon and I will create journals. I miss my journals! So...

    New full-time career in aquatics

    Dear all, It's with a great sense of excitement that I announce a change in full-time career from the Armed Forces to the aquatic industry. From 1 April 2014 I will be the AquaGro Brand Manager for Tropical Marine Centre (TMC). The role is very diverse and there are some extremely exciting...

    Any runners out there?

    Hi all, Apart from aquascaping and photography I've recently (last 12 months) really go into running. I'm now the captain of my local team and we won the road race league this season! :D I've got my first half-marathon (13 miles) next Sunday - The Great Eastern Run, which I'm hoping to run...

    Activity

    Hi all Just to let you all know I'm 4 weeks into a 6 month operational tour in Afghanistan, so won't be so active on the forum. However, I still hold the position as UKAPS PR and will do my best to carry out this duty. If anyone has any issues they feel need sorting out on the forum, but...

    Help buying laptop

    Hi all, A bit of an odd request.... A friend of a friend is after a new laptop but is quite specific about the specs for whatever reason. Here's the spec list, literally copied and pasted from their email. Operating system needs to be Windows XP Professional or Windows 7 Professional 32 bit...

    iMac running very slow (intermittent)

    Hi all, Can anyone recommend some remedial action for speeding up my iMac, please? Now and again it will go real slow, with the spinning disc icon appearing for up to 30 secs at a time before executing each command, whether it's a new web page or opening an application. It's running OS X...

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

    Amusing video - Rules for forums

    Thankfully UKAPS doesn't suffer from the majority of these, but it is very funny, and partly relevant. And no, we don't have any fanboys... http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-beh ... k.facebook

    iPhone 4 questions

    Hi all Just treated myself to a new iPhone 4 to replace my Samsung Blade. I know the iPhone 5 is out soon but the deal was amazing. The only other Apple kit I own is an iMac. Will they 'recognise' each other and sync so I can transfer all my iTunes etc. from my iMac on to the iPhone. Any...

    Inactivity

    I'm sure you've seen the news about Libya. For those that don't know I'm in the RAF and my role is very closely related to events out there. For this reason I won't be active on UKAPS for a couple of week or so. Take care, George

    Chat?

    Anyone fancy a chat? I'm about to go on the Chat Room.

    Saying goodbye!

    No, I'm not leaving UKAPS.. ('Shame', some of you are probably thinking!) It was my last day in my current job today. I've been there for almost 4 years and have got to know the guys I work with really well. When I said my goodbyes today I could hardly keep it together! Emotional times...

    The Inbetweeners

    10pm, E4 tonight. Crude humour at its best. Not one for our younger membership though, I'm afraid.

    Walk across USA

    One of the best things I've seen on You Tube in ages - and how it was done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp8t27oT_ww&NR=1

    "Weird" avatars?

    I've noticed a few UKAPS members with "weird" avatars. What's the story, please? I'm curious!

    George away

    Hi all, I'm on a much deserved holiday for a week or so. Of course, any major issues can be dealt with the by mod team in the first instance, or admin/founders failing that. I'll hopefully have some nice landscape shots to share upon my return...

    Public announcement!

    The two opti-white nano tanks in my latest PFK article (July issue) belong to Dan Crawford. Same with the angelfish. I realise some readers would assume they're mine, but alas, all credit to The Crawford! Thanks to Dan for letting me photograph them!

    Duty calls

    I won't be active for a short while, as I'm off to Afghanistan again very soon. I won't be away for long - just a week or so. Take care and be good! :D

    Anyone for ping pong?

    A couple of shots of me, taken over the last couple of days during an RAF table tennis tournament. I'm ranked 16th in the RAF. The top 10 are like the guys you see on TV. Awesome to watch. I'd like to play more but there only so many hours in the day... The second shot is a forehand...

    Peace @ UKAPS, please

    Hi everyone I'll be open and honest with you all, as you are our dearly beloved UKAPS membership. I realise I may come across as unapproachable and distant at times but that's just my nature. I hope this post may help to break down some barriers there, anyway... The aim of this thread is to...

    Write for PFK

    Local transport in Kandahar

    I had to share these. The locals customise all their vehicles in a similar fashion. This is one of the more elaborate.

    George away for 4 months

    I've been given notice that I'm off to the Middle East anytime from Nov '08 to Mar '09 for 4 months. I'm quite lucky in that the location isn't a 'hot spot' and has excellent facilities, such as an American supermarket, fast food outlets (not that I'll be eating much of that), excellent gym...

    George away

    I'm away for a few days, playing in a table tennis tournament. I won't have any Internet. And I bet you thought I was only interested in planted tanks!

    Our new family member

    My eldest daughter, Emily and Dilly, a New Forest pony. Emily is 11, Dilly is 7. We've had Dilly for about 3 months now. My youngest daughter and wife ride her too. I'm too big though. And I thought hi-tech planted tanks were expensive... :shock:
