Not photographic. I have been suffering a nasty viral infection for three months and don't have the energy to go photo-ing. I have consoled myself with this ebay purchase of a Waterford 1980's cocktail glass.
maybe not what the doctor ordered but keeps me sane.

Well, only just got it yesterday so not tried it yet with a film.. The seals around the film door look fine, and the mirror dampers have been replaced quite recently. Seems to work perfectly so far.
I still have my silver MX that I bought in 1980 and used it only a few weeks ago. Still going strong. I had the seals and dampers replaced on that about 10 years ago. by my reckoning it should be good for another 20 years !!!

My favourite was the Nonnes Preest tale. There is a line in there which could be used as a response to a long winded forum post..." Ye seye right sooth, this Monk he clappeth lowde"

Show me a language that isn't an amalgam of different languages!
English originally started at the end of the Roman occupation, but the language was not primarily based on a Celtic language, but on Anglo-Saxon, a Germanic language. Over the centuries it has changed drastically.
When I was at school we were taught Chaucer who wrote his famous Canterbury Tales in the 14th century in what is known as "middle English". Only about 50% is recognisable to an English reader today. This would have been a controversial decision at the time when the language of the court and upper classes was French. Indeed it has been suggested that had he written the Tales in French then that would have become the common language of the land.
