Another pointless thread

True, but beware of the snap-crackle-pop if you have it in a mug with a gold rim.

Good point! I keep forgetting about Health and Safety

Better to detach any children that have hold of the
handle as well

Watch out - Christmas is coming. The glossy mags seem to be full of ads for fancy watches in the weeks running up to Christmas. I noticed that one weekend newspaper had a 28 page supplement all about the world's most exclusive watches. I only gave it a quick skim, but couldn't see anything under one thousand pounds, and one model was priced at £157,590.oo
Who buys these multi-thousand quid wrist ornaments and why? Nobody I know would be impressed if they saw an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon Chronograph on my wrist - they would think it a cheap Oriental import, and probably could not spell the full name anyway.

Martin

Last time I spoke to him was spring this year at WGW

Late time I saw him was at beamish in January this year

He parked his caravan next to mine at Robin Hoods bay this weekend. Strange how you meet up again, not seen him for ages.

He was dressing up again as a steampunk at Whitby. Looks very healthy. Said he might pop onto the forum again.

Dave

That's good to hear Dave, I should be surprised we didn't bump into each other on Saturday, but there were that many tourists...

its on its way

Fer the luv of


Will you please stop tormenting us ?

OK - I'll bite

What's on its way ?

Here it comes! ............. Bah!.......... Gone Again!

I'm back .

Yes I took the wrong lens. The one I took will be sold shortly, though not on here - I wouldn't do that to a fellow forum member.

Dog is poorly. We picked him up yesterday from the kennels as he was unwell. Poor thing, looks miserable.

So some poor sap could end up with a duff lens? Coming up to Christmas too

No it isn't really duff. It is a 17-70 and an early one with low light focussing problems. I have lived with it for years, and accepted it as is, since it is basically a great lens, but the time has come for it to move on, along with a few other lenses. I don't want to take lots of lenses when I travel, and I think the 18-135 (or possibly the new 16-85) wouls suit me better nowadays. I am not going to sell photos, and most shots when travelling are just holiday snaps so the 18-135 is good enough.

Now back to pointlessness, before I get thrown out.

It's in Hong Kong today so it should arrive next week.

Just hooked in and what the...

...a little shocked at the new layout.

I'll get used to it I suppose, and I did tell the tech guys to go for it!

Beerday eve so it's a Ricard to start the evening....
