Flamingo Land

If you follow my Twitter feed (which you probably don't) you'll know that I went to Flamingo Land today with my family as it's my brother's birthday tomorrow. Naturally, I used this opportunity to do some true, hard-hitting reporting.

The new ride - Mumbo Jumbo - is actually pretty good. Supposedly, it's some sort of world record-breaking roller coaster - entirely due to one bit, which I can best describe as a "S-shaped" drop. We ended up queuing for about an hour and a half, and the ride itself lasts no more than about a  minute. Whether I'd want to queue that long again I don't know, but it was still a great time.

Copmanthorpe Carnival '09

Every year my village hosts a carnival for the city - and this seems to be a pretty big thing. Though I find it hard to believe, people really do come from all over York for this thing.

This year we had bands such as Elliot Minor, Club Smith and The Sneakypeeks. The music... well it's not to my tastes, but everyone seems to have a pretty good time. I actually went along this year, to document the event on behalf of the internet.

New York Photos

As promised, here are a small selection of photos from my recent trip to New York. There were far too many to upload them all (I tried to upload them to my Flickr, only to be told I'd gone over my monthly limit - by 300MB!) so I tried to choose a decent mix.

All were taken with a Fujifilm F200 EXR and were taken by a truly useless photographer. Seriously, you should see the number of blurry shots I have. I guess I good camera can't make up for my lack of ability.
