Re: UKHA meet pics...

We went last night just for a change.

SWMBO said she wish we had stayed at home, why do we always get to sit in
front of someone with dog breath and a cough?
Even though its a modern multiscreen cinema the sound was not as impressive
as at home, also at these places the screen always looks just out of focus,
maybe weve just been spoilt or my senses are going with old age.

Marks comment about the fan noise from LCDs is valid that's why I am
looking
to relocate the projector under the bed then use two mirrors to project the
image in the room below.
