Today I fired up my Windows 10 machine to be greeted with "PC APP STORE". Looks like some kind of virus/malware and it's doing my head in. It takes over the screen, if you try to open any other app, it opens behind it, so I can't get access to task manager to turn it off then search for the...

If you can find a 33mm f1.4 you will prefer it, it's a much better lens. It's permenantly fixed to my T5, unless I'm shooting wildlife and need the 50-140 or 100-400.

I was in Castle Cameras today (Salisbury), they have a used X-T2 priced up at £800 !!!! No wonder it hasn't sold....

Mine is fine. The only issue I have with my 50-140 is that if I want to atatch my close focus ring, it's a bit of a tight fit. It's a cracking lens...

Went in to Castle Cameras (Salisbury) today and nearly bought the 150-600. Lucky, they didn't have it in stock..... But I am looking to pick up a new mini scope from them on Tuesday - maybe the big zoom will be back by then, who knows....

WCMUT? (Well yesterday actually). I am stage 5 chronic kidney disease, due to go onto dialysis soon, but have beenn held off the transplant list due to potential complications with my liver. I also suffer heamatomachrosis, where my blood develops too much iron, and they thought that i...

I've just finished rewatching all 7 series of "The Mentalist". I loved them all, it's funny, but as the cast seemed quite solid, I haven't seen them in anything else. I'm sure Simon Baker must have done other stuff. I saw the guy who plays Rigsby in something else, I think it was before his...

I may treat myself to a small piece from the deli counter - I can't drink either, so I will have it to celebrate Arsenal's league championship. 2 birds, one stone :ROFLMAO:

The worst thing about kidney disease is that you're not allowed hard cheese - so no tangy cheddar :( :( :( Hard cheese turns very acidic in the body and makes the kidneys worse.....

As a Gooner, that would just about make a perfect season, although we'd miss the 6 points every year :ROFLMAO:

I have a Swarovski ATX 85mm spotting scope. It's brilliant at what it does, but it's large & heavy, and I struggle to carry it around due to my health issues. I've decided that I need a smaller lighter scope, with less magnification, that I can easily carry either a back pack or over my...

All I will say is that I'm an Arsenal fan, and have been quite cheery for a couple of days :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Oh, and well done Villa - 3 English teams in all 3 European finals.

Agreedon the last one. Because of the health issues I have and suffer with a back complaint, I had to get something bigger (taller) than my old Clubman. That's why I settled on a Q2, it's just an A3 with a bit more height. They don't offer it as a 2l 4WD in the UK anymore, for that you have...

The amount of time I've done that. I ended up buying a lightweight set of waterproofs and kept them under the rear seat on my 'Blade.

Road tax was always seen as a way of ensuring you had both an MOT and nsurance, you can't tax a car without it. However, now that it has all been computerised, I don't see the need. Originally "Road Tax" was put to one side for looking after the roads, but now it just goes into the coffers...
