:shock:

Good god man! I know that BBC political correspondant John Sargent had a bit of a crush on the iron lady but she does nothing for me. :wink:
She doesn't even have the supposed "extended duration" effect. It's just sheer bloody terror.

Here's my official appeal for anyone in the Hills District or bogan areas of Sydney attending the meet. Wanna carpool? I'm in Kings Park (more bogan than Hills), and needing a ride. Will shout your petrol. :)

This drive looks awesome! I bought a similar ext drive from the US - minus the card reader and Firewire links, and it's been a fantastic piece of kit, daily backups are no longer a chore but enjoyable!

Highly recommended for anyone who has the need for an external hard drive and/or flash card reader!

Andoru, normal hours are 8am to 1pm, the 2am start is for Sigma enthusiasts

Sorry Glen I'm obviously missing something here.

"Sigma" I presume refers to something else beside the lens manufacturer right?

So...er...anything special happening at 2am Australian standard time?

PostPosted: Wed Jul 20, 2005 10:31 pm
by Glen
Andoru, standing joke that the normal hours are 8am - 1pm (with people dropping in any time between those hours), many started buying VR lenses so it was suggested an earlier start to view those, then others purchased sigma lenses so it was suggested even earlier start for those. Just get there between 8am - 1pm and you will be fine. You will meet nice people, see rare and exotic plus standard lenses, enjoy scintillating conversation, enjoy good food and generally have a pleasant time with regards to good company and all things photographic.

I'll see if I can convince my man to let me come again. Sean has another early home game, so he might just let me.

If so, I would love to have a play with some macro lenses. I am currently selling off some stuff from a "no longer participate in"hobby in the hopes that one day I will own a macro of my own........can anyone bring a lense or two I could play with?

Cheers
Deb

For not confusing and disappoint on the bargain at the mini meet for all the attendees

Pls. PM me all your items which you’re interested so I may secure stock for you.

I can’t release the bargain price atm, but will be at 8:00am on the day

- Transcend/ Astone CF card 1Gb/ 2Gb/ 4Gb (45x/ 80x)
- Rubbereyecup, genuine Nikon EN-EL3 battery, Lowepro products, Genuine Nikon remote for D70/50.
- Transcend 7in1 card reader

I guarantee you won’t be able to find this ridiculous pricing anywhere to match the “surprise” prices at this mini meet, and only for attendees of the day.

No obligation to buy if you find pricing are not the real bargain.

Please note: - Some items may not available at the mini meet and have to be back-ordered.
