The Oyster Card (and, I think a rail travel card) will get you discounts to the attractions you mentioned - or some at least.

Well, John - it's been decided (sort of)... As extreme sports we've got extreme ironing, wingsuit flying, and the like... The Pentax Users site are proud to announce Extreme Photography!!

Andrew - Honeywell Avionics has a place around the corner from our office, with an autoclave!!

John - next time, ask the wee Birds Eye polar bear to take a photo inside your freezer using flash, to see if there is a lighting variance at such cold temperatures!!

Horrids have sold Pentax for ages - I think they are a Pro Centre too!

I remember when I was looking to buy the Kr Horrids were selling the camera body + 18-55 lens at £550, whilst Argos were selling the same equipment at £380. Guess who I made my donation to??

Yes - I am SCOTTISH!!

Gamka - us poor folks are using a non water-resistant K-r!!

I'm trying to save up the cash for at least a K30, but the missus keeps donating money to a charity called Harrods!!

How so, Gamka?.. There may be folks still shooting with film, so it kind of blows it outta the water as far as posting in the digital photography forum.

Anybody interested in somewhere to go in London other than the usual "tourist-traps" this weekend might want to head along to St Martin's Courtyard in Covent Garden on Saturday. There's usually lots of colourfully-dressed people to photograph, as well as sampling the Thai food, and the Chang (Elephant, in Thai) Beer.

A word of warning though - Songkran is a water festival, so make sure your valuable DSLR's are waterproofed against the elements!!

For those of you that have never heard of this festival, here's a link to what it's all about!

For those attending - ENJOY!!

And just to enlighten you all in how to wish a Thai a Happy New Year in their own language, you say:

Suksan Wan Pii Mai Krab (sook-san waan pie my crab) if you are male; or
Suksan Wan Pii Mai Ka (as in the little Ford car of the same name) if you are female.

Gamka - are you sure this story wasn't intended for the Simon Bates Show??.

Methinks you are a sly old fox, and there's more to this than you're letting on!!

Anyway, joking aside, It'd be great to see some of these photos of the lovely "D", both then and now.

Browsing through the 'net this morning, I stumbled upon this story (link).

Sounds like a good advert for the manufacturer of the memory card!!
