It's Ok, Blythman, your secret is safe with me.
This disgraceful and disrespectful thread is entirely your responsibility and you as an apparently intelligent member should be ashamed.
I have read the so called back slapping thread and it's nothing more than old friends meeting at a bar somewhere after having a shared bad experience.

What is this, Lord Of The Flies?
This forum has recently lost a number of good and active members. As far as I can work out, seven or eight for good and a further half dozen who will be winding doen their activity here. Three PPG centurions gone. I don't see this as a reason to celebrate. A propos.

The only thing I really could not face eating would be the Oursin - don`t ask why but when we were in Nice I just thought - uuuurgh !Which goes against everything I have ever taught my students - don`t say you don`t like something if you`ve never tried it !!

However I am not totally convinced that IR has been beneficial. In the high Himalayas the air is very clear, and pictures I took there with my trusty Super A (I think I did use a skylight filter) showed similar clarity on colour print film and slides.
At Limuru, near Nairobi, at dawn, it is sometimes possible to see Kilimanjaro to the South East, and Mount Kenya to the North East. The former is around 200 miles away, and the latter over 100. This is possible because the mountains are so much higher than the surrounding land. It's like seeing Manchester from London. Though rather more impressive!

Of course the Chinese eggs should only be eaten if they are fresh I was led to believe Balut was an egg containg a chick which had "fermented" in the shell, no mention of boiling, was always promised one by the filipino crew members but it never materialised.

And guess what?
The thread has been closed!
One does rather feel for the defectives, sorry, I mean defectors. They fled to escape persecution and the trampling of their human rights here, and already their new-found home has shut them up.
It's a wicked world.

The first two lenses will be easy to sell, and the third will go if you don't ask too much for it.

I'm sorry that my childish sense of humour has risked re-igniting the embers of this conflagration, but it WAS deeply ironic.
As for Blythman's secret, I couldn't possibly comment.
