My father lent me his Program A which drained the batteries in 12 shots (2 days)... no idea what the problem is though...

Laziness has stopped me, but I'll get to it.
After I do don't complain...

Ah... some common sense. Thank you.

Since Pentax cameras are produced outside the UK, all pentax cameras are imports. UK stock means imports from "accredited" importer, as opposed to imports from other country's imported Pentax cameras.

BTW, these local warranties are a bad idea in my view. Wherever the warranty is the same length, same warranty for all...

Now you tell me mikew...

Surprise surprise, laws to protect from terrorism used to curtail freedom... Were have I not seen this before...

I've bought this. I'm sure its not as good as the as the orginal, but has lots of functionalities still.
I'll check it out and tell you guys how it behaves.

Although my english is not that good, I do find english slang and english sayings very pleasant sounding and amusing, so keep it up.
It also makes a web forum feel more genuine and real. A more conversational tone is not bad.

Typos... I've made lots, but don't regret them all. I see no reason for certain words to start in capital letters and some other words should sometimes appear in capital letters as a glance at thoramay's post illustrates.
One issue with my speech that I cannot detect, but I'm sure exists is the mixed use of american and english words or sayings. Watching many american movies and TV sitcoms mixed with lessons in british english, has lead to this. Living in Scotland has not helped either, not that the Scottish talk "funny" (which they do, very amusing), but I relate mostly with international students and end up with a nice english soup.

Lots of things don't sell. This is microscopic compared to ebay.

Ebay's policy is bull****. If people don't like paying too much for P&P... DON'T BUY IT. I don'r see what the issue is.
This is only to get more money for ebay, that is it.
I've seen items of similar weight via same mail being quoted at prices that vary by a factor of 2 or 3. So someone is ripping us off on postage, thats fine as far as the total price is ok, I'll buy.

If you're looking at the canaries, have a look at Madeira as well, its close, so weather should be the same, and it is also not too expensive.
In Canarias you'll have better beaches I think, Madeira is greener and colourful.

You can also put a bit of self interest in it. Go to a stunning place you'd like to photograph. Of course you're not taking the gear now, but in a few years you have the best excuse to suggest going there again, very romantic of you...
Kidding.
