    How many blondes does it take to make chocolate chip cookies? Five. One to mix the dough, four to peel the Smarties.

  4. I often complain about closed captions, and they have screwed up again, partly because of the English language. I just watched the end of the Essendon - Gold Coast Suns match, in which my son's team, Essendon, won their first match of the season at home, by 3 poiints. In the afermatch interview, every time they used the word "how", the captions showed the name "Howe". If my son had any hair, he has shaved his head for years, he would have none left now. They were 28 points up at one stage, but the lead swapped 4 times in the last 10 minutes. That's an exciting game, not like this 1-0 bullshit after 100 minutes.

  24. In a post near the beginning of this thread I mentioned that I became interested in photography when a workmate of my father gave me a 35mm camera. Neoca 35mm - my first camera I later purchased a twin lens reflex camera which took a 2+1//4" film negative. I never got into film processing, taking my negatives and transparency films to a chemist or camera shop for processing. Twin lens reflex Then I went digital so I could do post processing on the computer. I bought a Panasonic Lumix FZ20 camera which had a 12x zoom lens, great for airport photos. Unfortunately I lost it at an Avalon Air Show. It was a particularly hot day, and at the end of the show I was heading to the exit, suffering from a bit of heat exhaustion. A staff person on a golf buggy offered me a lift to the first aid room. I placed all my goods, chair, esky, camera, etc. on the back seat. When we got to the first aid room the camera was missing. I was pretty devistated. I assumed it had fallen off when we bumped over a gutter. My wife found a secondhand Lumix FZ40 which had a 24x zoom lens in the Trading Post for much less than I paid for the FZ20. It had belonged to the late father of the advertiser. That is the camera I use today in addition to my phone cameras. Lumix FZ40 I have an old iPhone 6 whichhas been decommossioned as a phone, it has no sim card. However it takes good photos, is small and light and fits in a tee shirt pocket, and is very easy to transfer images to the computer. My actual phone, a Samsung Galaxy, takes probably slightly better photos than the iPhone, but is large, heavy, like a brick to carry, and is a nightmare to transfer photos.
