(£4.99 Meal Deal from Kens)

Shared with the girlfriend, in my flatmates room, as he's been banned (by written contract) from buying any fast food until 2009, as he spends way too much money on the stuff...

Goodbye MPG! :eek:

lol. True statement. Although, at 13 mpg city with the stockers on there, it can't get TOO much worse, lol. I'm expecting 10-11 city. Roughly 16 mpg highway. I don't drive too much so gas isn't that big of a deal. I fill up less than twice per month, takes about 23 gallons to fill most of the time. The wife drives an '05 Toyota Corolla S (~34 mpg), so that helps! :D

That looks a lot like KFC's logo and packaging....

Is this Ken's place anywhere near London and is it something I should bother trying when I go there in a few months?

Erm sadly not, they're all in and around the Portsmouth and Southsea area, no-where near London, sorry.

It's certainly far cheaper (and nicer) than actual KFC...

Congrats Wes, you won't be disappointed, well maybe by the 1080i deinterlacing on the player, but that's about it. :p

Nice! How do you like it?

My last purchase was a Canon EOS 50D.

I bought it primarly as a portrait lens. I was using my 50, which effectively is more like 75mm, but it never performed like a true 75mm. Meaning you get the basic magnification without all the other goodies of a true prime. That said, the 90mm was smooth. I found it to be quite fast with the focus. Now, as a macro lens it'll be used in MF mode. The barrel zoom is about 2 inches, which is a lot for a barrel to move in and out on a macro lens. Probably less so on the Nikon 105mm for twice the price.

I have to admit, this is a good lens. When buying it I told the retailer that I was not interested in flooding my bag with cheap lenses any longer. While I started with some true gems in the film age, as I moved to digital it became price over anything. This is just wrong and I know better. The guy told me that if money were no object (meaning I said I was prepared to pay 2x for the Nikon 105mm) then he would still get the Tamron. I found that interesting because he only knows me for someone to come in, spit out exactly what I want, lay down the cash and walk out. I don't doddle.

As a prime it is great. It served me well the next day doing headshots. I found the bokeh to be nice and smooth, it handled a low-contrast cloudy day very well. I can't complain. I've tried a couple of test macros out but nothing significant.

My only complaint, if it even is one, is that it does focus slightly slower. It is so insignificant though that I can't really tell. If it were searching for a long time (like a 100mm prime I have from vivitar [another diamond in the rough]) then yeah, I'd be pissed.

Why haven't you posted a picture of your new 50D :p

What did you have before you bought the 50D and how are you liking the upgrade? I have a 450D which I am really enjoying using at the moment but would not rule out swapping it out for a 40D or a 50D in the not too distant future.
 
thats crazy. i can never find good deals on craigslist. best deal that i am considering right now is a g4 cube with 17" studio display for $200

I have to say I'm a bit confused. If I was served something like that at a fast food restaurant I'd probably be saying, "That's it?" What's so great about a slab of fried pork on a bun? I usually expect more! :eek:

Hate to break it to you, it's chicken... It's also very greasy, but Chick-fila or how ever it is... Is not that bad.

Just picked it up today and love it. I find it to be a lot better then the last MacBook all around. Just got to migrate my files over now.
