Bought a bit of kit ex-dem from local dealer recently. Been giving them business for a few years now. Agreed a price including trade in before I demoed it. After demoing at home for a few days I confirmed that price and agreed purchase. Went into...

I was in a bike shop buying some bits for about £30 and the owner/saleman was never off his mobile phone! He talked all the way through accepting my real money and was still talking to a third caller as another customer approached him interested...

i have the chance to buy a number of leica R series lenses ranging from 19 mm wide angle to 100mm macro all in good nick ( eight lenses in all) does any one still use these ? what are they worth?

Excuses first. I'm not a fan of TV talent contests. Reality TV shows an absolute no-no. However last year I got completely into the X Factor and it already looks like this series is going to be worth watching. Undoubtedly we, the British, are a weird...

Hi folks.A couple of years ago I came close to buying a reproduction Eames Recliner with stool. I ended up going for a Peel recliner, which I really like.However, now we've finished our 'living room' (as opposed to the 'good room', in which the Peel...

Hi teamWhere's the best place to get Apple RAM? My Powerbook neeeeeeds more than the 512mb. Apple store quotes me 360 quid for a gig! I don't think so.CheersJay

this?A friend of mine who I've not spoken to for some time rang me out of the blue this afternoon and said I really should go to a presentation with her about it. It would cost £10 to attend and she would have to book a ticket for me in advance....

ShootingSo, what do you make of this?

That certain individuals should wish to flaunt themselves for the chance of big money is understandable.That millions want to watch these idiots sitting around, talking bollocks, is the bit I don't get.And............... what really annoys me, is that...

being as I have to do a presentation on confidence to a group of people on sat next how do I get enough confidence to do it?

Hi all,Rather than sending some stuff to Naim for a service I was thinking of bringing it there myself and see the Naim HQ at the same time. So, I'm looking for some information and advice on how to get from London to Salisbury and back. I'm not keen...

As a regular visitor at 'the pub' over the last 16 years I (and many others) have complained regularly at the increases in beer prices and well remember backing CAMRAs campaigns such as the one against the £2 pint several years back.However...

Dear Friends,Can they be done in the new dispensation, or that luxury now lost? How often one wants to follow up an issue, or apologies or whatever...I am particularly useless, so any explanation, literally, needs to be fool-proof!Thanks in adavance...

I'm using Photoshop 7.0 on the images from my EOS 20D. I'm not too clued up with editing, so would like some simple advice: In what order do you edit an image, assuming it needs it?Thanks,Tony

I didn't know, until I watched the BBC2 programme last night, that Teddy lived in Salisbury. Does anyone know (Heath being very much into music) if he bought equipment from a local manufacturer? He rather struck me as an archetypal Quad man.For those...

The True Truths 3 thread is a wonderful read for its information, commentary, sheer lucidity (for one not reputed to be so lucid) and well-timed humour.A thread fronted by someone other than himself really should encourage greater participation from...
