I never touch Heineken, nasty stuff. A shame they have taken over good local breweries and turned them into tat too.

Bud, Coors and Millers. yuk

However some of the best beers I've drunk have been American, from some of their great micro-breweries.

I also really liked the ales from Loch Fyne Brewery, a superb micro brewery at the head of Loch Fyne.

We used to enjoy Brakspears Ales, when they were brewed in Henley, but I don't think we've tried them since Wychwood took over.

Morland was another favourite which has gone, taken over by Greene King. When it brewed in Abingdon it was a local beer for us in Wantage.

We shall have to get over to the UK sometime to try out some of the your suggested beers

My first Pentax was bought on holiday in the US. The guy in the shop was very helpful and arranged with Pentax in Golden Co. for me to get an international warranty sent to a friends house where we would be ending our trip. It was waiting for me when we got there. I returned the US warranty papers to Golden as requested.
When I got back to the Netherlands I checked whether this warranty was accepted and they said there was no problem with an international warranty as it came from Pentax USA, and I bought in a Pentax approved shop.

The problem always is with grey imports, from companies like Pixmania.

Lenses always have an international warranty as I understand it.
However if you buy them whilst travelling you must declare them at customs and pay the duty or get clearance on them to prove they were legally imported. Sigma in particular are very strict on this.

Our €70 a year site used to host a website with a pretty active forum. We closed it down though eventually. We didn't want to lose the domain name, so decided to use it for our photos instead.

I have never had things deleted from Photobucket, and it really doesn't get that many viewings. I'm quite happy with it for posting photos on forums and the like. If I want to share more photos, with better quality I use our own website.

I agree about the bottom third. What is the bright red thing bottom left?
Otherwise very nice.

This one is also wide open, hand held and uncropped with K20D

I always resize my photos to 800 pixels to upload to Photobucket. They upload quicker that way, and are less likely to be "borrowed".

Our website, now used for our photos, only costs us about €70 a year, plus €8 for the domain name. Not much use to you in the UK but have a look around at what hosting sites are offering. Maybe someone in your club can do the homepage for you?
We use jalbum to make the photo albums then load them onto our site.
My husband made the home page himself.

Not much use to you in the UK I know, but have a look around at what hosting sites are offering. Maybe someone in your club can do the homepage for you? Or a friend of a friend? Every other person seems to have done web design nowadays .

If you want to see how good shake reduction is have a look at janneman's post on depressing review:

He did this test with his K10D too. Nothing like a ride on mower to give it a good try out.
