OK so for sometime now my geek of a brother has been getting hot under the collar for the new Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Not that it takes much to see why because, as well as being a general upgrade to their top range digital SLR stills camera the 5D Mark II is Canon’s first digital SLR camera that records HD video. That’s already too many initials for one paragraph so to be clear… we’re talking about the sort…

Just heard this on the radio as part of a discussion of women in the Royal Air Force… “…well I’m sorry to be so ordinary but I joined as a result of a bet with my Dad…” What world does she live in? I don’t know anyone who joined the armed forces due to a bet with their parents. That’s not normal behaviour is it?
