Sid, I was thinking about the conversion thing because a lot of peope have invested in a lot of extra lenses. Can they be used on digi cameras made by the same company? I know there are companies now making cameras that didn't before digi. David

Sid, I can't figure out why some of the major camera makers haven't come up with a way uf converting film SLR cameras into digital. There is plenty of room inside taken up by the film compartment. My old Olympus OM 1 is a nice, small camera which is now on a shelf not being used. David

Bubsy, So, shooting pictures instead of people now? Our Olympus mini digital is so old I can't remember when we bought it and my even older Olympus OM 1 is sitting on a shelf with the battery removed. David

Sweet, I'll give it a look later. We have been to Mont St Michel and are in that area often when on holiday. Maybe you visited when the tide was coming in. We watch the Tour de France on Fr 2 when we are in France. David

Sweet, So let's see, is this cheating? David   http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.france2.fr/emissions/le-village-prefere-des-francais/&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dle%2Bvillage%2Bpr%25C3%25A9f%25C3%25A9r%25C3%25A9%2Bdes%2Bfran%25C3%25A7ais%26hl%3Den%26biw%3D1016%26bih%3D488

Paul, Was Brown followed by Blair? David

Russet, I've been in GB for so many years that I only have one friend in the US, and he now lives near Cincinnati, which is at the opposite end of Ohio from Cleveland where we both came from. David

Russet, Careful, there might be more Americans here than you know about. including me. Pont Aven is nice.

Russet, Sadly, it was the taxpayers who paid Beown then. Now it is idiots from corporations. David 

Paul, I could listen to Farage giving a speech (a short one), but can you imagine somebody paying Gordon Brown thousands of pounds to talk. Or going to listen to him. Dasvid

Rabbie, Now that'a conundrum. Or is it a carborundum... David

I open all the jam, etc, jars because my wife can't, both here and in France. I gave up on celophane/plastic packages years ago and cut them open with scissors. Can't even bite them open. David 

wb, Being an MEP, I wonder how much time Nigel Farage spends in Brussels and Strasbourg. (Yes, I know, google, google.) Does he eat horsemeat or drink Belgian beer? 

Nick, I'm not deluded. My dad is really dead. David

Paul, How do we behave otherwise? David   'Now now children start behaving otherwise'

rabbie, O-hi-o. David

rabbie, Short attention span. David

nectarine, Yes, we Americans eat nutria all the time. Very nutritious... David

Nick, I go for quality over quantity on this forum. My dad's dead, has been since 1981. David 'And my dads bigger than your Dad.'

Q, If you mean me, yes, that is what I meant. David 'I think he means your browser putting all the html in your quotes.'    

Hoddy, We did the canoe/Dordogne thing seveal years ago. Don't remember if it was muddy. (Wifey says it was clear, but not very deep.) David

wb, Round at the ends and high in the middle? David 'I have friends in high places!!'

wb, Parts of the Loire are mostly dried up when we are in that area. Get pouring! David

wb, We will be in the Dordogne in June-July. I'll check out the river there for pollution and report back later.  David
