    Conflab?

    At the risk of being accused of pedantry, I suspect this forum should be called Canon Confab (short for confabulation). A lot of people talk about "conflabs" and I put them right whenever I can. Needless to say, they're all very grateful and thank me for taking the trouble to help them. At least that's my recollection. Anyhow, back to the Pentax/Samsung section.

    Regards

    Hi Al. We're all eternally grateful to you for pointing that out to us but I should inform you that "conflab" is actually a combination of the words "conman" and "flab" in that it is a descriptive term for the guy who moderates the forum! Similarily with the Nikon "Chat" forum, the word "Chat" is a combination of the words "Chav" and "Fat" as this is a descriptive term for anyone who actually posts in there!

    Hope this has cleared matters up for you.

    He has already crashed the 'Scrabble' on Facebook, I reckon he has Pre-Lunar Tension; a couple of virgins and some Evening Primrose he will be fine

    Well the Evening Primrose we can manage...............as for the other.............well I'm afraid the best we can offer him there is getting him to roll over and we can scratch his tummy.......................he likes that does old Fen!

    Thanks for the clarification, chaps. I think you've come up with the perfect nickname for a friend of mine who's a rather portly used-car dealer. I'll try it out when I see him. I'm sure he'll appreciate the wit.
