I thoroughly enjoyed this one She couldn't understand why I was not reacting with horror etc . My PC lappy actually is on XP but it's only on when the kids are up , so it was nice to see that she knew I was on Windows 7 and it was running slooooooooooooooow.


Glad you are enjoying the Spotmatic Matt - not my cup of tea I'll admit

I've just had a wonderful scam phone call

A real beauty, which lasted for some time, whilst I had great difficulty in hiding my laughter

Apparently my computer is absolutely ridden with viruses and malware and that's why it has sloooooooowed right down .

The lovely little lady , who clearly is not a native born English speaker , was able to see that from her computer

I was of course using Windows 7

That is absolutely fantastic

I think Cyril / Cyrille is rather lovely and cheeky and keeps popping up to amuse us all.

He/she , of course gives Tony plenty of experience in photographing wild animals

Oh Gwyn - I'm so sorry

It really is loosing one of the family - that's what our dogs actually are .

Good for you Cyril - he's nothing else to do so he might as well keep cleaning the window

Sorry - photography

Missed a lovely shot coming home from College last night -had just turned into a road , going past the park and I could see a youngish chubby fox coming out of the park through a gate - glorious - street light full on him beautiful shot could have been got.

Yes camera was beside me BUT there were 3 cars behind me and there was no chance of it

grrrrh

great pics - would that I could get shots like these .

I love the quiet humour in the last one

I've voted for the 9th /10th as if I'm going to Dublin it will be on the 17th and I'll have to be in London by the 16th.

I've bought quite a few things as well - and always paid by Bank Transfer so I have been able to tell the vendor that their bank has accepted the money - and this gives them a warning to look for the money being credited . So far I've had no problem and hopefully the vendors have been satisfied as well.

I've withdrawn from a sale as I felt that [ having had advice from another member ] that the price was a little higher than it should be .

I've passed on 2 items as well - one was as a gift [ and I was told when that one arrived and was thanked for it ] and the other went at a reasonable price to someone and that buyer [ no names no pack drill ] was very happy .

My reaction is that I will happily buy from a member with a reasonable post count , and I see posts from them . I would be slightly wary of buying from someone who appears only to sell something and then vanishes until they want to make another sale.
