A few hours ago my eldest daughter made me a grandfather for the second time.....a boy.....Thomas. Today is my wife's birthday as well!! :D Last night I was talking to Jessica and she told me the baby was going to be late (according to her midwife). I told her that I dreamt a couple of days...

Looks like British Penguins to me...... Although I didn't taste one yet.......the wife just brought them home from Costco! (and I'm supposed to be on a diet......12 Kgs in 8 weeks....yeah baby!!)

Paul Newman was one of those that I have known, loved, and let define much of my world....or was that fantasy..... Amazing actor. Amazing American. I'll miss you. R.I.P.

Ok...I've searched but cannot find. Is there code to embed video from other places except You-Tube? For instance - this is the embed code from a small video that I would have liked to directly place in a thread...... but I can't find a way to do it:

.....from a boat??? Exclusive: No ice at the North Pole - Climate Change, Environment - The Independent Might be possible soon enough. :11:

Just installed this and can't set the skin to "Scubaboard Blue" - it won't shift out of the red "Scubaboard Default". Any ideas? Funny thing is.....in my main "Edit Options" screen it says I'm set to "Scubaboard Blue" in the "Skins" box - but not in the "Quick Style Chooser".

I received the following email this morning.

OK.... I don't hunt when I'm diving, but I know many do and have nothing against it. I certainly eat most everything that comes out of the sea! :D Could someone who knows about this stuff have a look at the video posted in this thread...

First the poor people of Burma (sorry...I can't say Myanmar)........ ...and now more thousands here: China Earthquake Buries 900 Students, State Media Reports - The Huffington Post

Last year I was contacted by a young Australian lady who teaches English close to where I live. She had just learned to dive in Okinawa and was looking for someone to dive with. We tried a couple of times to arrange something last year, but each time something went wrong and we couldn't dive...

I don't know if anyone is up for it but I'm coming to Phuket on Thursday this week - 20th March. I'm doing 6 days on the Colona 6 via Jamie at Sunrise, with a friend. When it's over I'm staying an extra couple of days....soooooo.....if anyone is up for a meal and a couple of beers on the 28th...

Seeing as I'm leaving for a couple of weeks on Thursday I thought I might as well start the poll so I can vote myself before I leave.:D If you don't like the choices I added to it I'm sorry - polls only take 12 options max so I couldn't fit them all in. Mr K can always change stuff it it...

....that you didn't get certified at a younger age? It's already becoming clear that many of us didn't get certified until quite late. I was 47 myself, although I SHOULD have certified 10 years before that - had a plan to do it in Curacao - but broke my arm two days before we left! :shakehead...

As we get older there are some things that just don't work quite the same as they did. (and I'm NOT just talking about things that be fixed by viagra!!! :eyebrow:) Things slowly change, and can affect our lives - including diving. I propose a new private forum for people over the age of 50...

Intersessional Meetings They are just violent pirates/terrorists who the IWC would like stopped.

So....just over a year ago we switched mobile phone providers from NTT DoCoMo to KDDI's "au". It was my wifes' idea because Japanese companies tend to forget about faithful customers in their desire to woo new ones! We sent out a wake up call.....DoCoMo wasn't impressed. Well the new KKDI...

Horrific......:11:

I came across this free online course today. This isn't specifically for underwater photography, but an awful lot of it applies all the same. I just read through the first lesson and enjoyed it immensely! ;) Jodie Coston's Free Online Photography Course.

Normally I just roast our Christmas turkey and stuff it with a traditional sage & onion stuffing, or make a chestnut based stuffing myself. As we only had a small oven until now the biggest turkey I've cooked here was probably around 4Kgs (9lbs). However, today I'm going to Costco to buy our...

In March I'm going on a liveaboard trip with someone who has recently certified and doesn't yet have her own gear. To buy gear in Japan it's normally better to order online from Leisure Pro or ScubaToys - but then shipping costs become quite a factor. I know that there is one quite large dive...
