I think I have been in the presence of Royalty

Postby Deano on Wed Nov 03, 2004 7:23 pm

I think I was just in the company of the world famous, internationaly renound Mr Poon.

I was doing some shopping for Birddog and went to Photo Scientific in Stanley Street Central, where I have previously spent lots of money. The gentleman there is always very nice and gives great customer service. I got his business card with the pricing details on and he wrote his name Poon on the front.

I'm all giddy with excitement. :oops:

Does that make me famous now too? 8)

Cheers

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

I'd say it would. Question I have is how come you missed the photo op moment. A pic of poon so to speak would have put you into star class.

Damn! I need a more portable camera - I didn't have the D70 with me.

If Birddog does the deal I'll get a pic of me and Mr Poon for the D70Users hall of infamy.

Get a camera-phone: it's the autograph of the 21 century. :D

I got an email back from Mr Poon regarding a purchase inquiry, he even addressed me by name! Should I print this out and frame it up? ;)

False alarm!!!

Postby Deano on Fri Nov 05, 2004 8:25 pm

False alarm folks. Put the corks back in the bottles.

Turns out this is is not The Mr Poon, just A Mr Poon. Haven't you heard, they come in sixpacks. (10 points for getting the reference)

Bugger!! :(
