Hello all 
I very recently bought a new 500D and - in doing so - decided to sell a pristine EF 28-80mm f3.5 that I'd bought a few years ago for use with a 35mm EOS 1. Trouble is, as soon as my new camera arrived with the kit lens, I was asked to take some candid photos at a wedding in Majorca next month and just didn't feel that an 18-55mm was long enough.
So (to cut a long story short), I've just bought the USM version of the lens I sold (in what seems to be perfect nick) for an additional £15.
It'll do nicely for the wedding, what to do afterwards...
1) Keep both it and the 18-55 kit lens
2) Sell it and continue looking for a longer zoom to match the kit lens
3) Sell the kit lens and look for something to compliment the 28-80
Bloody hell. HELP ME SOMEBODY.
EDIT: In a moment of madness, I've just added a Tamron AF 55-200 F/4-5.6 LD Di II MACRO that I picked up pretty cheap on the Bay. So - keep the kit lens of the 28-80...
