I bought what is really a toy camera to mess with, despite the marketing claims it seems to be based on a low end 2.1 MP CMOS and the zoom is neither optical or 16 x. Fun toy though, it's specs match my 1st digital camera in the early 2000s.

Back in the land of my birth some people are celebrating Australia Day and others commemorating Invasion Day.

Local MP just turned up.
Told her that to improve Labour they need to get rid of the transphobes, get rid of Blue Labour, get rid of Labour together and vote Green.
She went away.
