I like the photo but it looks like the monument is leaning to the right to me.

I know what you mean about the borders, but it is because of the photo ratio not exactly matching the paper ratio. It is frustrating, and I haven't found the answer yet.

Does you HP take the special grey cartridge (100)do you know - you can check on the HP website if you aren't sure. If it does then try to get hold of one and try that. They are not cheap but give really good results. Not all HP printers will take them though.
I find B&W prints work best on matte paper, but others would probably disagree. Nearly all glossy ink jet paper is intended for colour printing and can give a colour cast to B&W prints. I have used HP Premuim plus paper with pretty good results though. But I do prefer matte paper.

Luckily we don't have the same weather here! Frustrating for all you bikers though.

Eldest son had a bike lesson this morning. He has to wait until the end of March to take part one of his test though, and hopefully part two just after. Of course his sailing season then starts so I'm not sure how much time he'll have to practice once he's passed.
A motorcycling son is every mother's nightmare. I thought he's got over it when he got a car and gave up his Kreidler brommer, but it seems it's in his blood. Luckily I don't have to lie awake waiting to hear his brommer turn in the street nowadays, his wife can worry about the bike!

Good shot. those boxes look very clean!

Glad I'm not there

Google=the new Microsoft as far as domination goes.

They have enough fingers in the pie without an e-bay type site as well. I really don't like Google that much - they are very secretive about what they do with your data, they are very Big Brother like. I don't need them knowing what I am buying or selling on line as well.

Do you not have a Craiglist type of site in the UK? We have Marktplaats, amongst others here in in NL, which works just fine, even though e-bay took it over. They knew better than to mess it up fortunately.

You could always try a generic one, such as the Seagull, if you can't get a genuine Pentax one.

Pentaxke, who occasionally posts here, has (had?)one, and is (was)very happy with it as far as I know. He is now more interested in his Fuji, and is contemplating buying an Olympus I believe so I'm not sure whether he will revisit here or not. You could try sending him a PM.

Sorry Tel, I haven't voted because either is good as far as I am concerned and I will do my best to get there which ever day is chosen, though at this stage I can't guarantee anything.

Off Topic again (sorry!)
Er Mike...Couldn't you read the signs? You sound like the Bill Payer - he seems incapable of reading signs whilst driving, expecting me to read the map, tell him what signs to look for AND tell him when we get to them, blaming me if he misses a turning even though I have said it is coming up, but not saying turn right here.
As for his navigational skills - they are non existent - he either falls asleep or forgets to tell me which road I should be looking for. I prefer to plot my own route and remember it rather than risk him getting us lost again. Luckily his car has built in SatNav so he can find his way around. He even has to ask how to get to somewhere on the other side of town that he has been to several times .

On topic again.
The Sherwood in question Tyr is Sherwood Forest.
