To be fair, lager is available in schooner glasses outside the UK. It is the name given to a 425ml beer glass...

If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.
Apparently.

Still trying to talk myself out of spending £50 on an ME SE, or making a similar offer on a K 135mm f3.5. I don't need any more film bodies, even if they do have rather spiffy brown leather, and I have the M 135mm f3.5...
But it's so tempting!

Try this, go into a corner, hit head against wall and chant " I don't need them" repeatedly.Still trying to talk myself out of spending £50 on an ME SE, or making a similar offer on a K 135mm f3.5.

When you come around, after 30 minutes or so, you'll have forgotten about them.

Yes, but then I'll do my usual searches of "Pentax ME" and "Pentax 135mm" (looking for interesting lenses bundled with a cheap buy it now ME and a K 135mm f2.5 respectively) and the whole cycle will start again!

Hmm, you'll need a thicker wall then...
I like our wood burning stove, it has a hot plate for cooking on and has cut the gas bill down to £4.30.
All I need to do now is source a cheap wood supply, Work looks good for that.

Look at printing shops. They always have pallets to get rid of.
