Aaaaaaaaah! A very much better week at Oggy towers this week. Regular readers will remember in last week's episode I had had a lot of trouble with my electrons and I was pretty much frazzled. This week I have taken no nonsense off them and they have been much better behaved. All deadlines m...

Our snow continues, although main roads have now been cleared so you have pretty scenery, untreated back roads to play with, but you can reliably get to places should you need to! :lol: Having a difficult decision. See, my brother's bought me a Red Snapper tripod with the 3-way head (not had it y...

That`s almost funny Gwyn ! I remember some years ago at my wife`s hotel a couple struggled into reception about 10-45pm with a large cardboard box "containing a tv" and booked a room with the night porter. They said they were going back to the local Currys as the set was faulty and they had been...

Tony , That's similar to how Hospitals used to 'lose' TVs from wards regularly - a couple of Porters in brown warehouse coats would turn up on a ward with a trolley and a couple of TVs on it [ think back a few years - 20 ins TVs were HUGE then ] , tell the Ward staff that there was a problem wit...

Indeed and it is :D No idea what the temp is - don't care - I'm seriously p..... off with all this. Found 6 ins had been dumped overnight :( So as I'm expecting my new toy to arrive today [ note no hints about it :wink: ] decided to clear the front steps and put a note on the door for the pos...

3 Cheers for Parcel Force :D Despite the nasty white stuff - they made their way to my back door and delivered my new toy :D :D :D That's cheered me up even though I'm not moving out of here today.

Gimme a chance please - I'm just back in after another shovelling session and my arms are tired and my back is complaining . I'm longing to use it - and I'm happy I got it - but the 40mm Ltd has not yet reached it's new user and it should have been with him by 1pm

Prize for you HG :D and Colin :D You and Colin [ Weldingblues ] are the only ones who have spotted the change in my siggie :D No I hadn't announced it - it was almost a spur of the moment thing . I realised I was having problems with the teeny 40mm Ltd because of its physical size. As far a...

You'll love it, would be my verdict on the 35/2.4. Mine hasn't been off my camera since I unwrapped it on Friday, it's a worthy modern successor to the M 50mm lenses on film SLRs. What I can't really explain is why. I'm still learning to use it properly and so far I've only managed a handful of ...

Timber got a record short walk this morning. With a wind chill of -16 I'm afraid he only got to do the necessaries and then I was back to the car and home.:oops: He didn't object though. If it's warned up a bit this afternoon I'll make it up to him.

Just trade it for something with narrow wheels Barrie A 2CV should do it.:twisted: I would go back to my first car a Renault R8 with 135x15 Michelin X, hopeless in the wet, but great in the snow for some reason.

I nearly bought a Duke 860 Desmo way back in 1979(ish). When it was pulled from the show room for my test ride it refused to start. The cloud of blue smoke curling from under the tank gave the dodgy electrics away. I bought a T140V Boneville instead!

Apparently it was close to total brake failure :shock: downside is the man I spoke to thinks the slave cylinder is in the gearbox so it may be a engine drop, gearbox out, replace, put together and lift engine back into place :cry: Well if it is "in the gearbox" then it is the clutch slave cylinder -...

I don't think the press had anything to do with it. Really I don't. They didn't like the Dutch Belgian or Spanish Portuguese offerings either - and there was no scandal in their press, apart from the expense of it all and that FIFA insisted on special lanes on motorways, and tax free living for all ...

Ah yes pebble dashed legs!!:D I've had a duff day today, so far I've tried 3 times to develop various 35mm film strips, all to no avail. I seem to have got the timing thing wrong! The 120 film though was a success, so not a complete waste of time. Think I'll move back to digital, oh wait a min...

Back to ebay annoyances. Don't you just hate it when: You see something you'd really like (Pentax ME and 50mm f1.4 in this case) for a sane buy it now price but the seller's feedback rating is six, they only have one sale to their name, and their other items have nothing to do with photography (a...
