    What about......................

    ...........a "Photographers Ailments" forum on here for all our medical queries! I never cease to be amazed at the variety of medical conditions we all seem to suffer from on here ranging from mange (Fen) to madness (that's me btw). I reckon we should have our resident GP fangs as moderator ably assisted by his nurse colleague Peter to dispense the advice/prescriptions and Myk could sign the formal admission papers for those beyond help!

    Ya know I'm only joking and it's a crazy idea.....................but the more I think about it, it even seems to have a teensey weensey grain of possibility to it!

    I'll have you know that the mange cleared up when I was still a pup, never had any repeat.

    My addictions to beer, leg, pizza and barmaids though seems to grown more as I get older!

    1. Nikon shoulder (try carrying one of those heavy brutes around all day and you'll get it! )

    2. Leica envy (serious mental condition involving the gleaning of all information relating to Leicas but never being able to afford one!)

    3. Tripod syndrome (considering surgical intervention to have a third leg grafted onto your body so you can hold the camera steadier in strong winds!)

    We could have a psycho section, too. Lots of obsessive/compulsive disorders (hey ho, bought another camera, where can I buy the cheapest whatits), depression (why are my pictures c@rp) and the personality disorder ones (should I buy Nikon or Canon or FujiSigmaNoltas.

    Yes, and then we could get a psychologist of forty years standing to run the psycho section...............................no, wait a minute..........................maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea after all!

    Viagra?

    If there were to be a forum section for Viagra, I expect many would find it hard to post there as others may then see them as a softie.
