Off to Whitby today for lunch at the Magpie. (It must be done).

Only question now is "should I buy here a steam iron or a cheaper model and a water spray bottle".
Are there still queues to get into the Magpie at this time of year? (Missus and I usually go to Hadleys, on the corner over the bridge, when we are lucky enough to be in Whitby).

Why not buy her a subscription to a "do your ironing for you" service? There is a local one here that is called "Ironing bored".

Have a good Christmas!

You should ask Mike-P for advice on that. He bought his missus a new ironing board a couple of years back.

A friend has been having trouble getting blurred images and asked should he increase the ISO. I told him he would be better reducing the Alc % vol

All the shopping is finished, we don't have to venture out again

That's taking it to new heights. A flat floor was always good enough.
Too far from a shore.

I was opting for a new ironing board cover!

Saving the whole new ironing board for our silver anniversary!

We'll, if she has an I-phone, an I-pad, etc., I don't see what's so bad about an I-ron.........

Sorry, Mrs. K10d......

They have banned Christmas here in Doha this year. Seriously. No Christmas decorations or promotions allowed in the shops. They have not been able to stop the hotels doing turkey dinners (a couple of the hotels have rebelled and are still calling it Christmas dinner: otherwise its a festive dinner) So they have banned booze on Christmas day instead. We are having some friends round and have a huge turkey and are well stocked up with booze. Hopefully it is our last Christmas here......

Looks like someone in M & S is trying to kill the Christmas Spirit (pun intended) here. So no more pigskin wallets or pork scratching to be sold either

Hmm. Looks more like the (usually liberal and open minded) Telegraph has overblown this slightly!

Although the question has to be asked, if a member of this forum found a job in Jessops could they refuse to serve Canon on religious grounds?

I'm kicking myself - and very hard too

Sorry - this is not pointless and it's photography related.

Being cheesed off with the weather [ who isn't ? ] and decided to treat myself to a Christmas pressie of the 50-200 WR Lens . IT'S OUT OF STOCK and won't be in till second week of Jan - by which time SRS price will have reverted to normal

I wanted to take it to Dublin with me on Jan 4

As I said - kicking myself HARD - really can't afford the 50-300 and this was only possible 'cos of its price.

There is a used one on Amazon for the same price. Looks ok.

Or you could try www.cameracentreuk.com who have one at £150. You could call them?

Or, if you've been a good girl, you never know what Santa might bring....

BTW - be careful using them - they were a tad careless entering information [ Card expiry date - added an extra digit ! ] so transaction refused - transferred to my CC and went through with no problem. had to phone the bank and after a bit of digging they found the expiry date had 3 digits instead of 2 !!

That caused me a wee panic at this time of year I can tell you.
