Well I've not been in here for a few days due to the old overworked and underpaid scenario, I thought I would log on and cheer myself up and the first post that catches my eye is Clarkys .

All I can say is "ditto" to most of the previous replys then add my own two penneth and say I am really gutted for you.

I dont know what the judicial system is like down under but I sure hope its a lot better than ours, In the UK the scumbag would probably get a slap on the wrist and then given compensation cos' he cut himself on your broken glass.

I wonder where it went then???
It was to suggest the 15th (tonight) for a meet in Leeds. But no worries, something else has cropped up so I wouldn't have been able to make it anyway

Dave, Dan,

check your PMs

Well it looks like lucky me is going to get two December meets

One at the weekend with Dan (Tyr)
And one Midweek with Dave

Dan; what about the 15th?

Dave; pick a date, not 12th or 14th

maybe a couple of ales first would improve the shots

I'm free all weekend on the 8th/9th-15th/16th
plus maybe a few nights midweek, whats everyone else got free?

Well guys and gals it seems a November meet was never to be, so how is everyone fixed for the Xmas lights in Leeds (or any other jolly spot you an think of) perhaps even Bradford, especialy if they have the town hall lit up like last year. (I cant do the first weekend tho')

I ran windows ME fo many years and you may be surprised to hear I had less problems with it than any other windows OS and that includesc 95, 98, 98SE, XP home, XP Pro and finally Vista......which is coming off my laptop as soon as I find the time to transfer files and do a re-instal of XP.

My Vista runs the Pentax software without problem, it also runs the remote assistant, plus the codec that allows you to view PEF files in explorer is a real boon, Vista is a real charm to use, HOWEVER.....very little of my existing software including photoshop 7 will run on it, including my printer drivers and can I get my DVD writer to burn discs NO! because there is a problem with the drivers for that too, last night I tried to view a PDF file, after several vain attempts to open it the penny dropped "oh here we go again with compatability issues"

I'm amazed microsoft chose to call this version of windows VISTA, because its almost blind to everything

Does this mean Pentax is guilty of illegal import/exportation of wldlife?

Ian, If you think this guy was unjust in giving you a negative then you are within your rights to complain to ebay, however all that will accomplish is mutual withdrawal of feedback from both parties.

I have negative feedback myself which was a retaliation just like yours, TBH I didn't let it worry me, most people could probably suss out what had transpired anyway had they taken the time to read all the comments.

Thanks for the warning, though I would probablly have sussed out this seller as being a bit dodgy anyway.


EDIT........ non payment???? this guy has already sent the item, is he a bit thick I wonder.

"Yes M'lud.........as I strolled down the country lane on my usual beat I came upon a man who had parked his haycart right in the middle of the haywain, I proceeded to take out my notebook and pencil and record this dastardly deed as a means of visual evidence to the aformentioned misdemeanour"

Constable.



Nice pic
