I used the Tesco one before and the quality was shit.I found a snappy snaps near the office and have gone there. Looks decent! Cheers.

Tesco used to be horrendous (they bumped up the contrast and saturation so much on a photo of me that I looked Hispanic), but a few years ago Max Speilman took over the photo section in Tesco and it improved no end.

Asda use all Fuji gear and I've never had a problem with the quality. 

Boots is not so good. Everything comes out with a bit of an orangey yellow tint, like they've tried to make things look warmer. It just makes people look jaundiced.

Has anyone had to put an adult member of their family into specialised care?

I look after my brother but the situation with him is at a point where he needs extensive/specialised care that I cannot provide. I've tried but I just can't do it anymore. Does anyone have experience with this or know a direction to take?

Thank-you for reading/any help.

Are there any good websites which detail Blu Ray special editions? There are a few blu rays I want to pick up but want to get the best possible version based on the extras and it’s virtually impossible to work it out from the usual places

Can anyone point me in the direction of either an easy to digest Adobe Premiere CC text guide or a YouTube series that'll get me going on the software? I'm the designated editor for a university project and the skills I gained 15 years ago in Final Cut Pro are a) wildly out of date, b) lost in the haze that was my 20s and c) FCP is obviously completely different software.

Check out the creative cow series on YouTube or the Lynda series online for the basics. If there's anything specific you're having issues with or want to know, just give me a shout.

Blu-ray.com do extensive reviews and the forums are very helpful for any enquires. Failing that dvdbeaver.com compares as many editions as possible in their reviews.

Ok, so we're going to a wedding in Santorini(Greece) at the end of May. Trouble is, I have no idea what wold be suitable to wear.

Only weddings I have ever been to were in this country, so I always just wore a nice suit. But can't see the weather over there being suitable(no pun intended) to wear a full suit. The Mrs and kids are sorted, as they are bridesmaids so they have dresses sorted. 

I was thinking about a smart shirt, but would it look too casual to just wear chino shorts with it? It's my brother in law's wedding, and with him being a footballer most of the guests will have plenty of money and look the part so I'm panicking that I'll stand out like the peasant I am...

Has a dress code been put on the invite? If not ask the groom what the groomsman are wearing to get a barometer of what is expected. A smart short sleeve shirt with smart shorts or cotton trousers should be fine. Whatever you do, don't wear a polyester suit. Your gooch will be wetter than an otters pocket.

Apologies in advance for the tedious question, but can anyone recommend a set of earphones (not headphones) that are comfortable and very good at containing sound? Quality of sound's not massively important, but as I'll often be using them in a library I'm keen that they don't disturb the (occasional) silence around me. Cheers.
