    Hi Goughy and welcome to the AP Forums.

    Hi i recently bought my first DSLR at the age of 17
    As it is the custom for newbies to buy a round in The Lounge, and as you're under-age, slip the cash to me or Graeme (AGW) and we'll take care of it for you.

    PS - How far is your house from Manchester? There's a few chaps up here needing accommodation around 14-May-08.

    Welcome, don't listen to anyone. (Send ME the money - I only ask for half price)

    17? Keep at it, I was your age when I started and I still haven't a clue.
    The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

    I try to stay away from this kind of thing. They give away free samples until your hooked, then start charging you. It's the same thing with this thing called "Music"

    There will be a place where you can buy this "Art" I am going to let you in on this, I will call it radio. Just so I am first, I will call it Radio 1, 2, 3 and 4 (switched on me!)

    Why does electricity hurt?

    Now according to you.. you live in Swansea and I'm not keen on the Welsh at the moment as my poor car got broken into in Morriston on Tuesday.

    So if you live in Swansea but went to the Beer Festival and I live in Reading but work in Wales all week...

    Want to meet in an M4 service station for a cheeky pint?

    No?

    Fair enough.. I'll get my coat

    Hello Goughy.

    Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to seeing your pictures, but don't let the old fxrts bully you.





    Not that there are any old fxrts here, of course!
