OK... it is 11pm here now... and tomorrow I am getting up at 5 for university at 9... Leaving the house at 7, train at 7:35, arrival in Sheffield at 8:10... and yes, there are later trains, 2 "cattle carriers" as I call them operated by Northern in which I nearly choke and then a Cross Country train at 7:54 which is my backup, after that all trains arrive after 9am....

Good night all! Have fun and take care!

Good night Detlev.

Oh, it is easy. You just have to remember the Cardinal Rule:

Computers run on captive smoke. If you do anything to let the smoke out, the computer dies.

errr what Roger?

Because they eventually form to your body, much like a pair of shoes. That never happens with dress pants, since they are made to retain their original shape, and that's why they do not feel as comfortable, to me at least. Ultimately, it's your preference, and I believe you are entitled to whichever preference you have. But you should at least give something a try if you have never done so, or if you have not in a long time. You might find that you like something better than what you currently enjoy!

As a start for you to be more relaxed, all you need to do is be willing to change from your everyday routine, even if it's just once in a while. Set out to try and do something new and different, and find out if it works for you or not. But at least you will have tried.

Aww man, now how am I supposed to kill you in CS when I picture this in my head?

Sheen will be out to help you

Really? All mayra does is manual focus the sigmalux on my 7D. She likes the control manual gives her.

See Steven, your gf is constantly using your stormtrooper that you bought and built for yourself. You should have gone for the 70-200 instead.

OMG Omar, you are in the lead by a bunch now! Steven still in third at least, lol.

Yeah watch my prediction

Gah! Hope he gets a lot of use out of it :{)#
Aren't you glad you spent all that money on hardware instead of a decent broadband connection?

To be honest, I would get a decent connection... I actually applied for a decent connection... it was supposed to be 1 mbps which is enough for me to surf download upload photos, I would have upgrade it to 2mbps to play games with these nerds. problem is my 1MBPS connection only does about 0.05 to 0.2mbps download and about 5-15kbps upload..and ping times of anywhere between 500ms-1400ms hahaha

the problem is The providers themselves have problems... I am not even sure if I get the $180 plans if I could get faster connections as well hehehe

so yes I am glad I invested on a good computer than spend all that money on a "Fast Plan" with no real benefits of fast internet

vipergts831 wrote in post #12116263
Ouch!

hahahaha I am not hurt, coz I am trying to get a fast connection

hahaha ohh... let's see what Nick does on weekends hahaha lately though I am only here on saturdays too..sundays I am out as well since I am not working sundays for at least 1month

so Nick might have a chance on this one

yeah yo !! hehe

you should, if you have that much disposable income, I can't see why not

as for me..that's never gonna happen anytime soon... maybe when I feel like I could already buy a BMW M5 and maintain it, I will then start think about Leica but for now...naahhh hehe perfectly fine with my fullframe, at least i've got fullframe..unlike Martin

Hello Detlev

Hmm what if i get a Leica today by going into Adorama!!!

I'd rather make a full sized pie Maybe I should make a couple just to keep me entertained until the sap starts running again.

Its a bit hard to eat a "family size" pie whole with one hand, the mince spills out and burns your hand!

not that i have tried it or anything...

Heh! The whole thing about wearing ties got a chuckle out of me. The thought that first went through my head was "I've never had to wear a suit and tie!"

Well, then my memory cleared -- to way back, for several years starting in the late '70s and going to about 1985, I actually had to wear a suit and tie! I was in a position of responsibility somewhere where it was part of the "working uniform"!

My how the memory fades! By the late '80s I started at a corporation where "casual" was the dress code, moved onto another corporation and worked there for 15 years where not even the managers over the whole 2000-person workforce were "required" to "dress up"...

I don't think I've worn anything but jeans for the past 20 years, except for the sweats I wear at home (or summer/beach wear).
