What's so special about a pair of 1953 underpants that someone
would pay £54 for them link

Were these behind/cause of the early 1950's baby boom!!
What on earth were you looking for when you came across this link

Perhaps parts for a wolesley motor car :

I was just thinking that if there's a water shortage and the government don't want us to drink beer and winewhat are we to drink?

Whisky?

Gin?

Or just tea?
Isn't there a song giving instructions of what to do in such cases, went along the lines of:

In days of old
When men were bold
... etc etc etc

Nobody's mention alcohol lately...

...BEER!!!

That's better.
Because for some people one is too many and three is not enough do you think the supermarkets etc will be forced to hide it from view like cigarettes.

[quote:3496ace15f="tyronet2000"]I hope it brings a lot of warm air into Holland, Friday till Monday. After that it can go back to normal.

Visiting the bulb fields? Or Floriade? Or both?
Anyway the forecast is for a bit warmer (12-13C) and high chance (70-80%) of showers, so pack something waterproof!
Thanks for the wx forecast, I'm sure they'll be sun showers
Arrive Friday then on to Keukenhof then to Valkenburg to the hotel. Saturday wander around Valkenburg. Sunday Floriade. Monday Amsterdam and ferry home in the evening. By the look of the forecast think camera will be K7 and 18 - 135mm. WR Mrs Snap can carry the umbrella

So the Welsh weren't even included, the bus driver wasn't Ann Robinson by any chance

I'll be flying back into the UK late this afternoon.

Dublin has been fun - though I' not seen much of anything beyond th bit round the Hotel and Church where I have been for the last week
Next time you are there try one of the tour buses. If you get the "right" driver the commentary alone is worth the fare. Typical remark about a statue "he was a very moral man although it was said you couldn't throw a stone anywhere in Ireland without hitting one of his children"

Personally I couldn't care less whether they stock Pentax or not, I know who does.
Nor do I now, as I've bought the last camera (barring accidents) I'll ever need. As regards accessories a lens is a lens etc., and it's all down to price, but it was nice to be able to try a camera for size, (in Curry's - PC World), in my case first choice was a Kr which felt lost in my hands and therefore would have been a mistake to buy, unseen, mail order.
