Not in this heat!!

 

[colacubes]

[Onket]

I had to throw away a mouldy one the other day. Should have stuck it on ebay.

[Frumious B.]

Argos has two of these in stock. £18.74. Is that cheap?

 

[Frumious B.]

Too late, they've both gone!

There are no set rules but, by law, people can take pictures of anything and anyone they like if it's in a public space. You don't need to ask permission although you may fall foul of the law if your actions end up causing an obstruction, harassing someone, creating a breach of the peace etc etc.

A large chunk of the greatest street photos ever taken have been taken by 'stealth' (or without the express permission of the subject) and the results have been enjoyed by millions.

I took the comment by ash as to refer to not an overall street shot but a specific "portrait" style shot of one woman standing at a bus stop and there are some more complicated ethical and empathetic reasons for asking permission in that particular case, even after the fact of taking the photo. Perhaps that was my misunderstanding of the photographic situation detailed.

Exactly the camera was a foot or two from her face.

Chuka gets a lot of coverage in the FT magazine today. The main portrait photo could have been of a romantic Hugh Grant style actor. I may let you have comments when I've read the (6 page) article. Seems to be setting him up as the next Labour Party leader but one, though judging by the competition they cite it should be a shoe-in!

Chuka Umuna is another Champagne socialist and will get found out by the masses like the rest. There is already enough material to pull him apart (Wikipedia editing, posting about how trashy London is, villa in Ibiza) and people havent started digging yet!

Alan Johnson was the best chance the Labour party had of winning the next election.

Villa in Ibiza?

 

[Onket]

I don't think people really have much time for the Labour Party, let alone this clown.

 

[ajdown]

Villa in Ibiza?

Although according to http://www.standard.co.uk/lifestyle/esmagazine/chuka-umunnas-my-london-8001545.html he "has family that lives on the island".

I got a puncture on the way to the country show yesterday and took my bike to Sam the Wheels, the guy who has a blackboard out in Railton Rd. He changed my inner tube in about 10 mins and charged me a tenner. Result.

 

[pissflaps]

right , i'm gonna say it. Does he sell hooky bikes?

 

[editor]

 

[pissflaps]

is that a yes?

 

[gabi]

No he doesn't

 

[editor]

Why are you acting like such a prick and trying to publicly undermine a local small business that you clearly know nothing about? Grow up, ffs.

 

[pissflaps]

oh get fucked you overly melodramatic bore.

it wasn't an accusation it was a question.

 

[shifting gears]

Why did you ask the question, then?

Because it seemed a very leading question to me, which makes editor pretty much bang on in calling you a prick.
