Anyone else on the front page of today's newspaper?

[Ming the Merciless]

Who is the idiot who stood in the way when the newspaper photographer was taking the photo?

I worked on board the Waverley for a few summers when I was a student. And in all the time I was there, it didn't have any collisions.

Unlike the wee paddle boats at the seaside, you can't "spin" it by turning the paddles in opposite directions - they are on a fixed axle. This means it has great acceleration, and can stop on a sixpence. But manoeuvrability at low speed is pretty much non existent...

It was more sunny than the newspaper photo shows. I reckon that being the "Scotsman" they photo-shopped clouds into it to deter an influx of tourists.
This is the photo I was taking at the time, showing more sunny skies, and as people have said, is actually a better photo than the newspaper version (maybe because this one doesn't have some nobber standing in the way!):

It was just as sunny in Mallaig.

Now I'll have to check the West Highland Free Press or whatever to see if I'm on the front page.

Fame part 2. Now I've really hit the dizzy heights, I'm in today's Telegraph!
I only know because my brother buys the Torygraph, and sister in law sent me this...

See all I originally wanted was a photo of the person taking a photo of you taking a photo of the weverley.

Now I'm gonna need a photo of the scotsman photographer taking a photo of the telegraph photographer taking a photo of you taking a photo of the waverley!

Or maybe a photo of the telegraph photographer taking a photo of the scotsman photographer taking a photo of you taking a photo of the waverley!

Yeah right ...

I recently had my creaking lino kitchen floor replaced. Bloke took up the old rubbish, half expecting underlay & wood. But straight onto the concrete.....with 2004 pages from the Daily Fail stuck on it.

The Waverley is haunting me now! Saw it again today, in Rothesay, while on my "3 ferries" ride (will write up later on "my ride today" thread).
