WOW!
This seems to be becoming another beer thread:D :lol: But really this a good forum with wonderful members and that can not be said enough times. Although we did had some problems with some members a half year ago or so, now that they are gone the peace seems to be back :)

True Stefan. That's why I came back. I hope it stays that way too.

Royal Fail
On 16th January I ordered a battery from SRS with free postage and they paid for First Class Recorded Signed For. It was probably sent the same day, but it did not arrive until the Tuesday which is certainly not a Royal Mail First Class service. SRS may have delayed sending until the Monday but ...

First Class isn't guaranteed unfortunately, but when a Special delivery item fails to arrive then the sender can claim back the fee. Like many things, Royal Mail can deliver bang on time but when it goes wrong it seems to go very wrong.

What I find is that my local posties are great, but that the big office up the line is a mess ). Couldn't agree more. Our post(woman) is outstandingly sensible and considerate but when the red van comes round...look out! It's a micro second on the doorbell before dashing off a card and back to the s...

Hi robbie_d - I too only watched a short clip - I wanted all my friends here to appreciate the photograph of a great sportsman capturing his decline and reflecting the problems he has faced - I had the priviledge of watching him in an exhibition match back in the 70s at my dad`s snooker club - he wa...

A short guide to ebay euphemisms.
1. Not tested.- Means probably doesn't work. 2. 'I do not have a battery to test it'.- Means, it definately doesn't work, but I want an excuse for not saying so. 3. 'I am selling for a friend'. - Means, if this turns out to be a load of crap, I don't want any comebacks. 4. 'I don't know anything ...

A short guide to ebay euphemisms.
Quite apt indeed, I had a recent experience with No.5 on your list. It was an LX in "full working condition" "Sold as is" only to discover the shutter curtain was trashed, and I mean hanging out of the camera. I emailed the seller with a Pic and they said it was fine when they posted it, an obvi...

A short guide to ebay euphemisms.
I have generally been very lucky apart from once when I bought a 'mint' Spotmatic that turned out to have 'University of Lancaster' engraved on the body and the lens. Mostly, though, things have turned out to be much better than described. There was someone who joined here a while back to sell hi...

A short guide to ebay euphemisms.
Ditto. One has to take it on a case-by-case basis. The microscope adapter he sold me was perfect. I think mowog was just having a bit of fun. You can see why hefty's sales get top dollar: lots of clear photographs, clear descriptions, obviously knowledgeable seller and so on. When I get a des...

Inspiring
Go on give us a hint please. What's it all about? We want to be inspired too :D. In a nutshell... Guy who was a keen photographer started to lose his sight, and as a result became very depressed as couldn;t use his (film) camera as he couldn't see the controls, etc. His friend introduced him t...

funny sign
Going back a long time in Ipswich late 1960`s. There was a lettering error on a catholic church sign depicting times of services etc. The L was missing from PUBLIC SERVICES. Cedric

Question re: VAT on personal imports
Thanks Pete, I suspected that would be the case. Had been looking at a couple of lenses costing in the £200-£400 region. I think by the time VAT and Duty is added back I wouldn't be far off the new price over here.

They're taking over the world, you know!
As hefty says this is probably a fad (probably one he started:D) and things will return to normal (when he has nothing left):wink: My cunning plan has been unveiled! :lol: I can't bring myself to part with my Flek, I love it to pieces, but I have two Sonar 135 F3.5s so one of them may well be goi...

They're taking over the world, you know!
I see I am going to have to get one of those Sonnars to try out one day. I remembered this morning that I have a Takumar preset 135mm lens in chrome and black and with a 46mm front filter. It is in almost perfect cosmetic condition and the glass is clear, just very stiff to focus. I ought to sort...

Favourite albums of all time
Geez these get harder and harder :) I don't know if I can come up with an all time list, it changes quite often! It would probably feature something by The Doors, Pink Floyd, and U2. However times change :D and my favorites 5 of the last few years would probably be something like this St E...

Favourite albums of all time
Thinking about it. ANY Tull album should be in that list. In fact. Might have to put mine back in the car. Mrs Ted won't let me listen to them when she's around.:roll:
