C G & a H N Y to U all,

Looking forward to seeing all the efforts of all the newcomers(including me of course)and all the experienced photographers, so that we mere mortals, may aspire to even greater heights in our photography.

Regards,

Roscoe

One doesn't swallow bugs in the UK,we leave that to the celebs, in I'm a Celeb Get Me Out Of Here!

Turkey, Pork, Beef, Ham,and Christmas Pudding, with Custard, and Mince Pies, are consumed at the festive period,but never bugs.

Which Canadian bugs are you refering to?

Really Nathan,
It's not the Da Vinci, or the Armani Code, and you don't even need an Enigma machine.

C=Christmas
G=Greetings
H=Happy
N=New
Y=Year.
There you are dear boy not that hard is it?

English is not my first language (I was born a French guy, sorry if it hurts some), so it makes it harder to figure things like that. I guess I'm not the only one who did some head scratching.

Your one up on me then Pentaxian, as English is my only language, hoping to get to see the Rockies in the future, what's Banf like as all tours seem to include it?

My compliment of the season to you and your family,

I feel deeply offended by the "dear boy" appellative...

Yet, my discomfort was created not by the acronym, but rather by the following sentence, which, IMO, is incredibly 'out of the blue'.

And yes, like Pentaxian I am also not english, and the five languages that I speak often confuse my understanding...

And to leave you with an interesting (and easy-to-understand) query, how about this.

"There is a lamp inside a photography darkroom. When the darkroom door is closed, it is impossible to tell from outside the room whether or not the lamp is on. There are two switches outside the door of the darkroom. One or both of the switches may control the lamp. It also could be that neither of the switches control the lamp. All you know is that the light bulb is currently off and that the lamp and bulb are in working condition. The darkroom door is closed and once you open the door you cannot touch either of the switches. If you can only open the dark-room door one time, how can you tell which switches, if any, control the lamp?"


Regards,
Nathan

First of all Nathan, it was never my intention to offend anyone!
If you are offended, then I'm truly sorry.

As to the darkroom question I'm afraid that I've no experience of dark rooms and I never use film cameras, any more since my MZ7 packed up.
