  5. Mmmmmm - one of the few things i agree with aussies on - the Marmite vs Vegemite argument. Of course the main reason for either is to prevent against drop bear infestations. Never try to eat more than you can lift

  11. Go the Kryten if you want something in between - mine rocks. (and i'll give Miami a plug here too - he did a good job getting me mine!! ) Never try to eat more than you can lift
  12. What Laszlo said is exactly right, but the 5d, 1D etc have a disadvantage (depending on how you look at it of course) in that you HAVE to have good (generally heavy and expensive) glass. For Canon that can mean the L series and the top end sigma stuff, although there are noticeable exceptions to this. Lenses tend to be weaker around the edges, and with the full frame cameras you are using the edges of the lens whereas the same lens on the 1.6 will lose some of the vignetting, softening etc. The canons have very good low light noise as well, especially on the 5d. This is one region where the canons are far better than the nikons. In the right conditions, both primary manufacturers are awesome. on the margins canon tend to shade it. Like someone else said look at the pros - the vast majority of sports photographers use Canon, but if i had nikon glass i would stick with Nikon. anyway I'm not good enough for it to make a difference to me.

  14. Baseball comes pretty close. I have never been to another sport where people seem to spend their whole time calculating statistics. Loads of people seemed to take their own little books to keep score - there's a goddamn scoreboard!! But you are right. cricket is the worst, and i played it once or twice too. Worse luck!

  19. Laugh at him. Seriously, every time he starts being a di*k just laugh at him and carry on. The more you laugh the funnier it will become and the more pissed off he will get (which again, is funny) Never try to eat more than you can lift
