Scrap books and photo albums; pictures on cork boards and fanciful photo frames, these have been the way the majority of us have chosen to present our photographs to the world over the years. Times however, as good old Bobby Dylan told us, they are a changing.

I\'ve been on walking holidays that last weeks and I\'ve walked up and down some impressive hills and mountains in the years I\'ve been doing it. I also try to take part in a few orienteering events each year as well, it\'s a lot more interesting than running on...

Body modification and enhancement is a feature of many cultures and gives a sense of identity as well as helping a person conform with what is regarded as beautiful within that culture. Some enhancement can seem shocking, such as lip plates and facial tattoos, but is this really any more shocking than collagen lip injections, a hair transplant or breast augmentation?

Hi-Fi reviews used to be full of systems that resembled city sky scrapers. Separates systems would require a whole wall of a bedroom to accommodate an amplifier, twin deck cassette, tuner and of course a record player.
