Nargh - that's one of the freebies from HK with the deal. Just looked and Mrs CJ has nicked them and I see while I've been away the camera has gone too. I can't believe she's actually going to hide it and give it me back in 2 weeks :thumbsdown:

She's def getting 10 litres of Costco 0w-40 oil for Christmas.

Santa - don't you just hate him! :thumbsup:

if you try colour filters its amazing how they can enhance pics such as sunsets etc.they can be also used for all sorts of cool effects 8)this was taken with my mobile phone using a very pale blue filter(i was messing around to see what the result would be :lol: ) Image

I like that for a mobile phone picture

I can see this soon becomes a passion - the last thing I need on top of all the others I have

I could argue that I've already done that :)
I've almost reached the point that I don't actually have time to do any real work with so much going on.

Hmm - you as well? I have found that I see the office less and less during the day. The gym is taking 1.5 hours per day as well now :D

Yep - I have that one too. 4 times per week to run a few miles and pick up some weights, for which they charge me £50 per month for the dubious pleasure of it.

Get a woodburner.

By the time I've spent most of the day chopping and stacking wood I'm too shagged out to even sit in front of the damn thing! :o

I've been using a D90 since it came out and love it. I had a D40 and though it was a great value for the money, I found I wanted a little more out of the camera.

LOL! Tried that but needed a 10-tonner as I cut some quite large ash trees from my land....trouble is because I'm so tight its a manual with two large levers to operate the huydraulics, its just like a skiing machine, but good exercise! LOL

What is it with us and these arborial toys? A few months ago I purchased a 13hp chipper and am slowly turning my tree lined garden to mulch. Trouble is it's a tiring beast to work :(

Close - it's the salesman. He would not negotiate a proper discount or demo it, so I tested him in it.
