I've only bloody gone and won IOW Festival tickets for next weekend!

GET IN THERE! :D

anyone know anything about glasses?
I think I need new lenses
My prescription doesn't seem to be working that well anymore..
BUT
I want to keep my frames!
though I can't see how they'd get the lens out without melting - there's no hinge to get them in and out with, so unless they're just pushed in ones.. what do I do? :S

but yeah..
how much are standard lenses usually?
is there a refitting fee?
obviously I need an eye test too but that's easily done :)

thoughts?

I HAVE MY CAMERA!

AND IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHINY!


:D :D :D

please dont hate me guys..

I've just won ANOTHER Nikon D60!!

I'm shaking still!

I've just won a fucking 400 quid camera! :D

edit: it's the Nikon D60

how aces is that?! :D

I can't stop shaking...

now I wouldn't normally ask.. but it's Free!

That is all :)

Thursday 6th December
SUSU reception (ie the way in ;))
10-4

Craft Fair!
Come see me :)

Its payday
which means daft ideas run through Gemma's head..

she wants a D-SLR..

can anyone help her pick one?

* She likes Fuji but isnt fussed if she's gonna get better elsewhere (and from what Ive seen/heard Nikon and Canon seem to be leading that field)
* she doesnt want to spend TOO much, as theres still bills to be paid after all!
* she loves her Fuji F30 to bits so doesnt wanna replace him completely. He's a good little compact after all..

I like the look of the Canon EOS 350/400D and the Nikon D40/40X's look nice too, as does the Fuji S5 Pro.. hmmm

anyone want bestival tickets?

I appear to have just won 2... :D

Would anyone be interested in going to this on Saturday?

Can I tempt anyone to any of the following?

Anyone? :)

28th September!
Joiners!
Frank Turner!

Whos up for joining me? :)
I know its a fair time before the gig but I'll be going to the guildhall to get tickets asap :) anyone want me to grab them one if so?

No more Fopp :(

I am sad
I like Fopp

anyone out there fancy coming to see Elle Milano at the Joiners in July with me? I REALLY wanna go but dont wanna go to Joiners on my own (dont like that part of town ;))

I cant remember how many of you like Biffy Clyro so I'll just post it here instead of pestering people individually

its reporting on gigwise they're touring in November , with a date at the Guildhall (the 20th infact) if you kids are interested :)

if they get Frank Turner again, I'll definitely go this time :)

there, my good deed for the day is now done :)


edit: (making publicable)
also, the Klaxons are coming a few days later. Would anyone fancy seeing them? I had to sell my Portsmouth tickets for them a few months back but being the Guildhall would be cool to see.. any takers for that?
