Re: OT: Bought my first guitar (Old dog, new tricks?)
Hi Darren I'm a bit behind with the list, but, just to let you know, I'm a guitar player too. I've been playing since I was 14 and have several acoustic guitars and an original '73 Tele Deluxe. I treated myself to a hand made guitar by Martin Cole for my 50th birthday. Martin calls it the Nimbus and basically it's a Martin Co J model shape with cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides and plays and sounds beautifully. Here's a link to Martin's Nimbus page. The guitar pictured isn't mine, but Martin has kindly included a sound clip of me playing my Nimbus with Fat Freddy's Cat. http://www.martincoleguitars.co.uk/nimbus.html There's a picture (Thanks to Chris Hevey) of me playing mine here: http://mitch.myzen.co.uk/PDML/IMG_4549.jpg Enjoy your guitar journey!

If I bought new, I was going to go with Cedar but I tripped across a **gorgeous** 20th Anniversary edition that is Spruce and Maple with a high gloss finish (semi-gloss being the usual finish on a Seagull S6).

It sounds like the quality of these lenses can vary greatly, but this appears to be a good 'un. Thanks again, Stan! That's rather good Darren.

Her father, a docker, came to visit and she innocently told him to take his elbows off the table as it was bad manners. He said something like I'm not having my daughter growing up with middle class airs and graces. He took the girl back home with him.

Re: PESOs: Church Clock
Thanks Paul. It was made in 1831. The date's on the quarter dial and it's contemporary with the rest of the clock. One day I'll go back and see if the rope can be moved out of the way to get a cleaner shot. It's a bell rope - the 8 bells are above the clock room and the ringers' room is below. The clock borrows three of the main bells to ring the hours and quarters. I'll have to ask nicely as it would be very bad karma to upset the bell ringers...

Spotmatic and MX literature FTAGH
Hi all I'm doing a bit of de-cluttering and found a load of my dad's stuff. His Spotmatics were stolen and he replaced them with a pair of MXs which I now have. There's the following: - Spotmatic F user manual - Spotmatic lenses and accessories brochure - MX brochure, large - MX brochure, small - K series lenses brochure circa 1981 - K series lenses and accessories brochure same date. There's a picture of an MX with a motor drive, bulk film holder and external powerpack. Most impressive. Picture here so you know exactly what's available: http://mitch.myzen.co.uk/PDML/_IGP5788.jpg Free to a good home. Contact me off list if you'd like any or all. I'm thinking I mail to you and you make a charity donation to Willen Hospice, which is close to our hearts. Something like that any way. Any takers?

Re: PESOs: Duxford Airshow
Thanks Bob, Yes it's a T9 trainer. A number of single seaters were converted during the 1940s as dual seat trainers to train Seafire pilots in carrier operations. There are only a couple left, both in the UK I think, although there is talk of a team starting manufacturing one from scratch. Up until about 5 years ago it was possible to go up as a passenger (at a very high price!), but it's no longer possible for safety / licencing reasons.

I'm not a big fan of IPA, but I do like the Meantime one. Part of their mission is to re-establish some of the historic London brews from days of yore, as well as to experiment with brews from other countries, so a number of things they do are indeed unique, and there may be something about their IPA that is unique (apart from the fact that I like it). Their beer is served in something like half of the Michelin-starred restaurants in Britain, I believe. That gives you some idea of how good it is.

I drive past this building on my way to work every day, but the way the signs were popping and the overcast light this morning combined to provide the motivation for me to pull over and get them recorded. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/7677143598/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/7677143294/in/photostream/ For those interested there is also a Flickr group dedicated to Ghost Signs, which has over 21,000 images: http://www.flickr.com/groups/10285999@N00/ Thanks for posting Darren. I've always been interested in these. Here's one in Galena, Illinois which seems to be multi-layered: http://www.mitch.myzen.co.uk/Galena/slides/_IGP2945.html And here's a fun one in Cockermouth in the English Lake District, not quite as faded, but disappearing fast. It should be listed by English Heritage to preserve it: http://www.mitch.myzen.co.uk/LakeDistrict2011_/slides/_IGP8938.html Chris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
