Lots of Dutch films, though not a very up-to-date list:

Turkse Fruit is the one you are thinking of Dr O.
Plenty of good Dutch films and lots of truly terrible ones too. They just never make it out of Holland I think.
I hardly ever watch films so can't make any recomendations though Tirza, based on a book by Arnon Grunberg, is being submitted for an Oscar I believe.

I love goat meat. Hard to get here, except at the Moroccan shops though.

Stephen - there are lots of free calibration charts available, but they are not always easy to use, and depend to a good degree on how good your printer is.

Depends on the goats cheese. On La Palma they make hard goats cheese which is delicious. They have a hard goats cheese in our local supermarket too, but it isn't as good.
We brought cheese back from La Palma and having enjoyed some whilst watching the telly made the mistake of leaving it on the coffee table. The dogs snaffled it in a second. Normally they don't touch food left out, but that cheese was just too much for them. Maybe it made Timber feel homesick - he is a La Palma goatherders dog .
HG - there are some excellent English goats cheeses - Woolsery is one, but there are lots of others.

Once these arrive they will be used solely in the K-x - I'll need them once I go to shooting in RAW.
I only use 4Gb cards and shoot RAW - I have one 8 Gb card which I bought in the US but it is really my last resort card. I just don't like having so many photos on one card. 4Gb gives me plenty for RAW.Once these arrive they will be used solely in the K-x - I'll need them once I go to shooting in RAW.
But then I only have 3 4Gb cards and the 8Gb card. Normally enough for all but the longest holiday. If they get full I just re-use them having made sure they are backed up twice before re-formatting.
Not that any of them are getting any use right now.

I can't help feeling an ND filter or two would be cheaper than two CPLs!
But if anyone would care to try it I'll be happy to see the results.
