I have first dibs on his K7

Interesting that you like the K20 more, since I haven't liked mine since day 1.
Come on Pentax where's that new model???

So far we've avoided this topic, it has been a haven of non football.

England can still go through if they can get their act together and score some goals and win.
Italy won the world cup after two draws in the groups, so it can be done.

Personally I don't really care one way or the other, for England or Holland. It might even mean I get to watch what I want on TV instead of the football being compulsory if both are knocked out.

If one or other or both go through I can only hope the weather improves so I can sit in the garden with earplugs in to try and block the sound of vuvzelas all around.

Might run into problems with the Peoples Animal Welfare Society .

I use Vivera ink which is supposed to last for 108 years. I have no idea if it will, but so far no fading or other problems with my prints.
I'm sure other manufacturers offer inks with similar non fade properties.

I just checked. I wasn't in Dorset this week, and a think I'd have recalled sitting next to someone in a vest and jogging pants.

I don't think Doug's comment was aimed only at you Andrew, other comments were also a tad sneery.
As a fatty I could take offence, but I won't. I am used to such an attitude from others.
A little less comment regarding the subjects size and a little more on the photo as a whole might have been more tactful.

Hear hear

You rang?

If ducks are banned do I have to change my avatar?

Polarising filter and a rock pool on a still day.

Waterproof camera?


I like the effect though - like looking through that glass you get (or used to get) in some windows.

How does he define zoo? Wildlife park? Seaworld?

He obviously has a better class of zoo than I do - a beluga whale for heavens sake! Cleaner glass than my local zoo has too.

I'm off to the zoo tomorrow morning since I have a season ticket and nothing else planned.
Must get to Blijdorp sometime too.

Looks like a KLM ad Mike-P .
