Sweat, I just found out Viko, who have their main processing center right next door, not only have a walk in print service, but also carry the photographers mail, and a couple of them are fishpond customers. :cool:

Now I have no excuse for not getting more prints done, assuming of course the ones I ordered today are of a high standard.



So long and thanks for all the flash

I looked at them but A4 was there max size. There is also a place further down the road that has a big epson but he was unreliable

Really?

I will check tomorrow, but they seemed to have quite a large print as a sample, A3 at least.

Of course for really high quality stuff we should be using Doug or PCL.

Uuurgh, my head hurts. :( Bob's done nothing but laugh at me like a fool! :lol:

Dave - self inflicted my dear. Absolutely no sympathy deserved, hehehe.
(thanks ever so much for the texty, too. It was just so... awwww :D )

I'm in Teh Ghetto (after flitting about the far north all day). Back in Auckland tomorrow, just in time for another company dinner. I've been told, that under no uncertain terms, am I allowed to think it's ok to get back to Auckland at 7pm. 5pm should be the norm :p. :lol: At this rate, I'll never have to pay for a night on the town ever again, hehe

Hope y'all are well :D

Hows Tim? hopefully in similar shape? Tell him im sending that disk in the courier today.

Haha, that was an entertaining series of posts, thanks Panasonic!

Hehe, don't feel sorry! Was a great night out, if someone else is paying for the booze and you don't wake up with a head like State Highway 1 then there's something wrong! Few paracetamols and some coffee and all was well!

The Tim that Mevunky refers to is a colleague who also went. He got loose too, very quickly an easily as the back of the folk's car realised this morning! Haven't stopped giggling all day!
