Inspired by Terrywoodenpic, I am not much a handyman; just have to make do with what I've got around the house. ;)

Any suggestions to improve this primitive technique of mine welcome!

:lol: :lol: Cheers Terry. Thanks for your approval. At least I can make people laugh!

Edit:
See! rpolitsr did. ;)

Just a word of warning people! DO NOT drinking alcohol in public or you will get arrest by the police. I won't be responsible foe that!

I would say this is no laughing matter


it could be developed very easily into an excellent self erecting shade.


very light
fit into any corner of a bag
could not damage a camera.
just needs a bit of elastic
very cheap to make.

Must look out for some suitable black foam to give it a go.
Not sure how to fit the elastic though.
I can't be doing with things that flop about.

I laughed because of Boutty’s humor while posting and because of the secondary effects (dealing with thirst) discovered by Terry, I’m not laughing of the invention itself ;) .

But I am twisted enough to see the genius behind it.

I am sure it could be made to work on any make twisted screen

Good fellows, laughing is good! I'll do anything to make people laugh.

Terry, I think your smileys didn't work because the script prompts for URL not the image location on your PC. I use the 'smiles' icons provided on the right hand side of the text editor.

Well, my primitive design satisfied my need to block the sun rays in my lab test, but need to be field test on a sunny day.:lol:
