Did anybody watch it tonight? it was on live here in Holland and it was really good. It was good to seem him come on stage, so fragile as he is now, and the reception that he received, the waves of love coming at him, you could feel it at home, it must have been great to be there.
I thought Paul Rogers was great with Queen - anyone know why John Deacon wasn't on bass btw?
And Amy Winehouse actually managed to stay upright and sing. What a relief!
If you didn't see it but get the chance do watch it. All the African musicians were wonderful as was Amaral from Spain.

Have a look at http://www.wildlifewatchingsupplies.co.uk/ - if you don't have a spare sleeve to use then this site must have something for you.

Now that there are more reviewers the reviews are less biased, and the new reviewers are prepared to use RAW which is more than "Uncle" Phil ever would. It's a pity there was no Nikon used in the comparison tests. I think that would have been interesting, especially for the DR tests.

Depressing review has a review of the K20D.

Yes I believe you do Mannesty - someone argued this in the UK and lost as I recall.
Of course in civilised countries they ave scraped the licence.

Here we get the Beeb (all 4 channels on digital cable), and the Dutch don't dub foreign programmes, they subtitle them, which makes things easy. It does result in Wimbledon on several channels at once, which is a total pain, especially when it is followed by football! (No I'm not a sport lover)

Not sure I could have done what Epithet did - every time I had the money saved up for a new camera something came along and needed it more, and I gave up the money for the greater good. Luckily I love my Ds.
Maybe it's a female thing, not spending the money on ourselves - the bill payer happily forked out a small fortune on guitar stuff in the US, whilst saying we should be cutting down on spending and saving again after such an extravagant holiday

Thanks. If I do head for Urk I shall probably combine it with visiting some old stamping grounds of mine around the area. We lived just outside Blokzijl for a while and it's always good to go back. Maybe give the Ist Ds a last outing in the Weerribben or something. But as I said I shall hang on a bit longer I think, see if the prices drop any, for longer than a weekend next time!

Congratulations Remco. Look forward to seeing some photos soon.

What did you think of the shop -I've never been there myself - are they helpful and knowledgeable?

I like the cows!
Did you clone out their ear tags or did they not have any? I see only one tag in the whole collection. Tags do tend to ruin cow photos

Good grief! I feel like I am not backing up anything like enough reading all this.
I back up my RAW photos onto Fujifilm CD-r for digital photos, and when I think of it back everything up onto an external HD.
I print a lot of photos too nowadays. I like being able to look at "hard copies" of them, and not everyone likes seeing photos on a computer.
When the house was broken into a few years ago (between dogs) they took the bill payers laptop but left the main computer. If they'd had more time or maybe more sense they would have taken his guitars - they are the most valuable things in the house! I really don't worry too much about fire or theft I'm afraid, certainly not to the extent of leaving a back-up at someone else's house, or at one of the on-line services..

How odd Gartmore. I get a nice selection of semi relevant ads, in Dutch what is more! Oh, just noticed that when I type a reply they are in English for some reason.
