I'd suggest that life is too short to try and get the £8 back.

It said 'possibly Ok', and 'no returns' in the listing, and you bought anyway.

I suppose the starting price of £7.99 suggests something of a chancer, but even so.

I know we're not supposed to contaminate classified threads, but someone should definitely snap this up. I've had one of these for over 20 years - I paid £50 for it new originally (they're more than double that now), and it's been absolutely fantastic. I never use anything else on my tripod, and I sometimes use it on a monopod too.

Did anyone walk out? Or ask him why no images?

Actually, that was a new one on me - nice one

Don't get me on to the "what do you call a man with a..." series...

Ok, here's another one...

What do you call a Skoda with a Canon owner in it, going over the edge of a cliff?

A skip!

And what do you call a Reliant Robin with a football in it...

... a whistle!

Oldies but goodies...

Almost there now, mate...

- we know your userid
- we know that you just love filming and photography

More malt required then, clearly...

The eternal 'G' is superfluous, of course... and I do think you need an extra 'c' there, George.

I don't usually go in for willy-waving operating system threads, but this is just crazy talk.

'Everything', as in what, exactly?

There's one specific combination of Win7 x64, Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 3.5 compiled for x86 that causes pain and suffering, but that aside, I've found Win7 better than XP in every respect, having known and loved XP for many years.

Win7 is so much better than XP in so many respects, that any consistently bad experience has to be a long way off the beaten track.

Care to elaborate?

PS, As well as my main Quad 6600 box, I'm using Win7 at the other end of the spectrum on a very old AMD Athlon XP 2800+ system, just to put things in perspective. Even on that, it's much better than XP.
