bored of that
Although I don't have a new question.

Something about the best/worse time you did something that was supposed to be good/bad but was actually good/bad.

I'm having my laser eye surgery tomorrow. And I now have to go to Hammersmith. Tell em your tales of travelling. Or don't

This is Noel's fault

And surely it's not entirely Noel's fault that you cannot spell 'me'? That seems a little mean.

You could probably get a Canon 1000D for that if you don't mind investing in the lenses
Or a second-hand Leica D-Lux 4, which is a spectacularly good camera. If you want something capable but user-friendly, get the Canon PowerShot SX210 IS, which is phenomenally good for a compact. It'll leave you about a ton change, but bear in mind you'll need a bit spare for a decent memory card.

Depending on how long you're going to be away from a computer for, you could well need an 8GB card. You have to consider the resolution of the pictures, the quality of the camera, and how keen a photographer the user is

my ex had his eyes done there
it is hard to find even before the surgery!

but 6 years later his eyes are still perfect. make sure you have someone to go with you though, you are a bit woozy afterwards, and if you have LASEK they can be a bit painful for a few hours.

don't do what my friend's bf did, and get so drunk you forget you had the surgery, and try to take contacts out of YOUR NEWLY LASERED EYES, thereby fucking your vision for life!

it's absolutely painless. have something in your pocket that you can squeeze if you get a bit tense.

it's actually 12 years since i had it, and my eyes are now -1, but they were -5 before, and they were perfect for the first 7 years, until i started the late nights and tiny scripts of a lawyer. if i had a different job involving less computers and leases, i am sure they would still be 20/20. as it is, i never use my glasses if i go out at night or on the beach etc.
