It is no choice unless there is a third option after the original two...of a) Dark or b) Milk...take your pick.
My choice would be c) None of the above. :D But on the other hand, I shouldn't knock it, till I've tried it. :D
I do like bacon ...back bacon as Canadians call it...or Canadian bacon as the much of the rest of the world calls it. I do like milk chocolate.....but bacon and chocolate together ? I dunno. Those tastes seem too disparate for me
Sad to say my palate isn't very adventuresome, and I know...I don't know what I'm missing. :D
My idea of eating on the wild side, would be to have my burger adorned with cheddar cheese, a slice of tomato, a nice pickle (dill), maybe a mushroom or two. :D
Tonight for supper, we're having home made burgers. We do have some Neilson's Milk Chocolate at home....maybe a schmear or two of chocolate between the pickle and cheddar cheese wouldn't hurt. :confused:

Rupert is always with us.
The amount of flagon wine dispenced in a bottle is too common...:fedup:
Flagons and casks are harder to find now.
But.....
Where I live the wines are the best....just ask us...:lol::lol:

Mornin' all. Beautiful and productive day yesterday. Got some drywall patching done around the house, detailed my very dirty Forester, got the gazebo stood up and the outdoor table (wood oiled) set up.
Have a good day all....zzzzzzzz

Thanks for the review, I'll give them a try after a pacemaker checkup.
I made banana nut muffins today with 99% of the ingredients purchased at Aldi.
Dinner tonight was a SPLT, (leftover) salmon patty, lettuce, and tomato sandwich with only the tomato coming from a different source, local.
Dessert was a muffin topped with peanut butter 'smores ice cream from you know where.

I typically try for UK auctions that end during normal day-time working hours (9am to 5:30pm), as there are fewer people around to bid on them, and there's a better chance of getting them at or close to the starting price. I either bid manually in the last 10 - 15 seconds, or else I use AuctionStealer to place proxy bids.
On this GX10, there was just one other bidder and they obviously didn't want to pay more than the starting price (or didn't react quickly enough when my bid went in at 10 seconds to the auction end :p).
A few of my best-value Soviet lens finds were snagged this same way :D
Ha ha :lol: I'm not quite as active as you, but I might still get through a couple of hundred in a busy day. Maybe twice that with moving subjects. So... at worst, this GX10 has only had a few days of my typical use in its life :D
Thank you :D Well, the reason I bought it is so that I have a backup for if and when my first GX10 dies. I like the camera so much that I would hate to lose it, and getting it repaired just wouldn't be economically viable. So, this is kind of an insurance policy. It'll most likely sit on a shelf for now until it's needed (terrible, I know). EDIT: It might occasionally get pressed into service alongside GX10 #1 but with a different lens fitted :p NEWS FLASH: Luck is on my side this week, it seems... hot on the heels of this GX10, I found an SBG-D1V battery grip for sale in Germany, and bought it just a few moments ago. The Pentax K10D battery grip doesn't fit the GX10 without significant modification, as the body mouldings are slightly different, and no third party grips were ever available for the GX10. The SBG-D1V has become a rare thing, and something I've been looking for these last few months. The example I've bought was listed as "like new", and the photos seem to support that :)

@Parallax;
Have you tried a swipe keyboard?
I love 'em, super fast and accurate.
On another note...
Had a great meal.
Spinach topped with chopped tomatoes and avocado with fresh mozzarella chunks, covered with bits of chicken roasted with curry powder, all topped with a roast sesame seed dressing.
Yum!

*Some* people were getting dangerously close to having a discussion about a topic that might could almost be kinda considered photography-related. Figured I better see if I could redirect things again. :p
And that heap of meats on the grill sure does look tasty!
