In other news, I have started to play with my two new cameras today.

I can confirm Diana F+'s are made of old yoghurt pots, have no f/numbers and one shutter speed and bulb, yet are very ****ing cool. Can't wait to get the first film back!

I can also confirm loading film into the Blackbird Fly may well be the most complex feat of engineering since the Milau Bridge, and that it too, is made of old yoghurt pots. Very stoked about them both mind! :D 8)


Cheers, Dave.

Weird, any clues as to who the company is?

There's not that many wedding 'companies' who are nationwide like that...


A bunch of Canon bits and pieces.

Thats scary.

Isn't that the second light fitting you have had try and kill someone in the house?

Guess so - suspect it's just a duff bulb, although have temp removed said fitting intil I can do a decent insulation test on it.

I have just got a new pc running vista and can't get my printer to work that's connected to my XP pc. Plus the XP pc can't access the drives on the new machine, but the vista one can access the XP one. I have looked everywhere and tried all the advice, but sill no go. Does anyone have any ideas, or do I just wait for my win 7 upgrade?

I need help before all my hair is pulled out, not that there's much left now anyway.


Cheers Alex.....
