OK, OK, OK ... I have a confession to make.

I have succumbed again ... this was at the Nantes swap meet and the sirens got me.

I offered 10€, and the seller countered with 12€ ... so I succumbed and said "d'accord" ... then he threw the case in for free. Drats.

The meter is dead as I expected, but the 55/1.4 Tomioka otuA nonekiR is fine ... just suuuuuuuuper sloooooooow blades. But fine for a DSLR ...

I had a hociR 005RX long ago. The meter failed. Turned out, when I got it serviced, that it was a wire fallen off and resoldering it was the solution.

The news from Paris is very sad. We need wisdom in all parts of response to it.

Like the Fox said, words are not easy right now . . . .

Prayers for those who have been affected.

As for those whose hearts are filled with hate, may their souls be eternally tortured.

That's your personal opinion, it's political and as such inappropriate on this thread. If you do not apologise immediately we shall have to get out the Surströmming to punish you.

Let's be careful and not tread into discussion about prohibited topics.

Sound advice.
A few posts have been deleted. We will NOT discuss the politics or religion involved.
Just to clarify; please note that I said "will not" and not "should not".

We don't have to make political or religions comments and ruin this thread......we all know what each of us is thinking. Those that think otherwise wouldn't be here.

Very important distinction, folks.

I'm thinking tonight would be a good night to down my sorrows in imitation Cheddar cheese & <$2 Shiraz.

Paris is not the only tragedy on my mind tonight. Today marks one year since my husband died.

Anniversaries are hard and grief plots its own course. I join you to my prayers tonight.
