true - but don't tell the Council that or they'll want more money from me

OK - now let's get this back on the original scheme of things .

We have now agreed there's a lot of stuff out there - yes ?

I've pointed out that Nikon is putting stuff on the Apps store

I also know that other firms are looking at producing things .

Apps are starting / have started for the iPad

NOW - is Pentax doing anything ? It doesn't attend trade shows , Ads are few and far between ,and not the most eye catching.

Does it do any sponsorship ? I've not seen any .

I get the bus pass and free prescriptions [ though my bus pass can't be used in England - spit ]. Free swimming - reduced rather than free I think if you can find a pool you can get to Winter Fuel - oh yes , thankfully and the reduction in my Council tax now I'm on my own.

Have to admit - it's a very civilised way to pass time of an evening

There are times when I know I am - and I'll admit it .

mind you I'm enjoying a glass of red at the moment

That is really cute

I was never able to catch a pic of one - not even the one that sat in front of me on the road and dared me to drive on - dare not put the reins down - the pony would have just gone forward - she wasn't voice controlled .

OH boy - what a lot of decrepit oldies we are

Gareth - I've an App for that too - yup on my Touch I can run a speed test .

As for the other sort of pinging - nah my phone's not clever enough for that - I can send text messages [ and I do ] and phone folk [ and occasionally do ] It does have blue tooth but its not an expensive enough one to be paired to my Freelander so it can ring to it's heart's content when I'm driving - I'll not answer it

what's 'Ping '

Oh and I don't have an iPhone

Ken - it's one of the facts of life for those who preserve our countryside . I'm just glad you can do the job [ dealing with the greys ] quickly and efficiently .

Please keep it up - we can't allow our native species to be wiped out by these incomers
