I only did this to see if I could. no disrespect at all.
Photo matching is hard for me. I find it very hard to match Jpeg texture so I've been looking into how this can be done. Also I find it hard to match overall colour and tone. exposer matching is harder still - the eye brighter than the lights, shadows need to be the same. So I had a go. I'll take it down if you ask. constructive criticism welcome.
do you have any tips for this? I wasn't having much luck in getting it to match.

I'd say he needs sharper edges, a bit more contrast and maybe some of the ol' dodge/burn tool
also try adding some grainy noise

There is a lot going on there - I can't cut up all the layers.
He is more blurred than the background. Can't add detail to him. So I'd blur the background more. I'd match his tone to the background too.
The background also has no definitive light direction. So foreground images wouldn't be matched by adding more contrast. Dodge and burn are out.
Blur the 3 guys; but just a bit. the highlights can be taken down a tiny bit. The cape is fucked at the back. download a curtain image and fake it back on. sharpen his legs up a tiny bit and add a bit more contrast.
as for the jpeg matching problems on him. I make lots of layers of noise, despeckle and facet and blend them as best I can. Not got that down yet.
ah yeah, don;'t bother trying to fix it, was just looking for advice :D
I probably over blurred him, would start from scratch if I had to redo it. The cape was a shoddy 'fix' for it going out of frame, didn't spend enough time on that. thanks for the help!

I completely agree with this. When they go on and on about how much bacteria there is on a "clean" chopping board. I'd like them to point out one example where only washing something in normal soapy water has made someone ill...
Also - if something is advertised as killing 99% of all known germs,
doesn't that leave the immune 1% able to reproduce more easily without any competition, thereby making surfaces more likely to cause illness?

As long as the water is hot, you're OK.
When you're washing up, your detergent (liquid) cleans the dirt off, the heat of the water kills the bacteria.

technically speaking all you need is a mixture of water, vinegar, baking soda and lemon juice to clean your entire house.

There's one that says there's more harmful bacteria on your toilet seat than on your chopping board.
If it worries you the simple solution is just chop your food on your toilet seat. It has the added advantage for easy waste disposal. Maybe that's the real reason for the toilet lid.

I think you got the subject line back to front !
The thing about all those bacteria on your chopping board (or bog seat)is that they sit there quite happily not killing you, so why not leave them there.
They also never bother to mention there are a Fucking Billion times more bacteria living in your gut than live on your bog seat - and if they weren't there, then you definitely would die !
Personally I want to come back as the 1% of germs that Domestos doesn't kill, and live on Holly Willoughby's bog seat.

To be fair
Gavin and Stacey is only marginally more slightly less unfunny than Two Pints.
The tarts in Two Pints were dirtier and more do-able though.

it's actually a good idea, at least if it's combined with the Big Issue sellers, sponsored all weather jackets and the like. (Phone up the Big Issue RG, we'll go halves on the profits) The seller could choose what adverts they approve of from a daily selection of things that slip in to a panels on the jacket of varying size.
