I would not touch it with a barge pole. Even as a kid it grossed me out a little bit as, coming from a can, it reminded me of corned beef (yuk) and tongue (nooooooo!!!!!)

It's the general unhealthiness of school dinners I remember fondly, not Spam in particular, I must admit!

Ahh those halcyon pre-Jamie Oliver days... Spam fritter and chips, and a cream donut for afters. We didn't get fat because our mums and dads didn't drive us around everywhere

I really like them, but perhaps the approach is more suited to craggy weatherbeaten individuals than women like Gillian. I'm sure craggy and weatherbeaten isn't exactly the look she's aiming for

No, but I was awoken by the 'Dudley quake' of a few years back (thought a lorry was colliding with the flats downstairs, thought 'meh there's nothing I can do about it' and went back to sleep), and the one in North Wales when I was a kid (most exciting thing that happened that holiday!)

At least there's lots of white stuff to do test shots on, Jules.

It has to be the D-FA WR. It's WR. It's metal. It's compact. It's got rounded aperture blades. It's a thing of beauty. However the Tamron is cheaper and slightly sharper!

It still looks a bit ropey to me

Do you have a 'before' and 'after' shot? How did you clean it? Was the sensor exposed to dust and were the marks there from the outset?

I love how the fact you're wearing slippers gives the impression that's your regular 'around the house' gear... lol!

The only thing that appeals about the grip is the ability to use AA batteries. Although since I discovered non-OEM batteries are so cheap, I'm not so worried even about that...

Have they eloped?
