Ring Outdoor Cam Plus review

2 weeks ago | digitalcameraworld.com | Ariane Sherine

This is a good quality camera for the Ring system that is relatively easy to install because it is powered by a rechargeable battery. I like the Ring system, but I pay the subscription – without it this camera would be a bit pricey, and to be honest 2K is good but not stunning visual quality. Why you can trust Digital Camera World Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out how we test.
Ring Outdoor Cam Plus review

2 weeks ago | inkl.com | Ariane Sherine

Ring Outdoor Camera Plus on house. Bish bash bosh! My boyfriend put this cam up with just four screws, though he did need to trim my bush in order for us to get the best view of the garden. After that, setting up the Ring Outdoor Cam Plus was as easy as Donald Trump finds IQ tests (or so he'd have us believe). It'll be even easier for you if, like me, you're already fully initiated into the Ring ecosystem.
The day I robbed a bank, aged 17

2 weeks ago | arianesherine.substack.com | Ariane Sherine

Last year, I told The Sun how I made £525 by switching bank accounts three times. But thirty years ago, the bribes on offer from banks were far more modest. My first bank account was with NatWest. They only offered me £30 to open it, in 1996. The branch was in Bridge Street, one of the shopping streets in Pinner, Middlesex, and I lived more than half a mile away - which, for a lazy teenager, was an epic trek.
Calling the devil at Radio 4

You probably already know this, and are now bellowing, ‘Stop telling us things we already know, Sherine!’ - but in 2008, in a Guardian column, I created the Atheist Bus Campaign. This was an atheist advertising campaign running on British public transport with the slogan, 'There's probably no God.
So long, and thanks for all the fish

My Californian dad had a real love-hate relationship with America. He didn't want to live there and left aged 29, but wanted to retain citizenship; he never took me over there, but arranged for me to have citizenship too; he was estranged from his abusive father, but had stayed in touch with pretty much everyone else he knew in America, such as the rest of his relatives and his school and college friends.
A Sunday Times travel trip, and a shocking revelation

1 month ago | arianesherine.substack.com | Ariane Sherine

One sunny day in June 2010, I was on my way to Geneva, on my third travel trip for the Sunday Times. It was a walking holiday in the French Alps, and I wasn’t much of a walker. I was also having a full-scale nervous breakdown, permanently trembling and worrying about being killed, thanks to running the Atheist Bus Campaign and receiving an Inbox full of hate mail.
Want to look younger in photos? There's one thing to do…

1 month ago | digitalcameraworld.com | Ariane Sherine

Approaching my 45th birthday and feeling prematurely middle-aged, I decided to check that I didn't actually look 45. For me, this didn't involve pointing a video camera in the faces of baffled passersby and demanding that they put a number to my wrinkliness, as producers do in certain reality TV shows.

We need to talk about escalators

1 month ago | arianesherine.substack.com | Ariane Sherine

I was at the top of an escalator last year when I was thrown forward. Someone pressed the ‘emergency stop’ button and the machinery stopped very suddenly, jolting me. Thankfully, I was going up the escalator - but had I been going down, I could have tumbled head first 20 metres. Now, I’m the first to admit I’m a scaredy-cat. I have two anxiety disorders, including generalised anxiety disorder, which means I am scared of everything.
