    Rover, I ordered mine from adorama.com but since I'm not a US resident, I don't have to pay their sales tax.

    Martin.
    I just visited the site you mentioned.

    When I do the arithmetic I would save almost £95.00 from this site over the cheepest I could get here in the UK:eek:

    What a bargain:D

    Maybe time for a new digi-cam

    Well, excercise is ok for me, I run with a friend, it gets too boring running alone.

    And by running you'll improve your fitness and stamina, so you'll have an easier time playing football, or any other sport.


    BTW, that was no typo ;)
    Running is great. I prefer to run on the machines though as you look kinda stupid running in public :D

    But I do run outdoors sometimes, but when I do i do it alone. I dont have friends that can keep up :D

    I think playing sports is no where near as effective. When I play sports I jsut slack off when im tired and really dont do an awful lot.

    Pendir (or however asked how much i drink).

    I drink atleast a few drinks every day (when im at university change that to also getting drunk on a tues and thursday). At the weekend i get drunk on friday night, i waste my saturday bumming around and then get completely and totally drunk on saturday night at a club. And by that i mean approx 10 or more vodka and coke, 3-4 shots and a few cocktails.

    I spend atleast 1/2 my money on alcohol. So yeah it sucks. :D

    When I was a student I didn't have two pennies to rub together, never mind have enough dosh to drink the full gantry from one end to the other (although I didn't drink till I was little older anyway).

    Just as well you do a lot of running to burn off all those calories

    Anyone got any interesting sporting memoribilia, such as a Del Piero signed shirt, a world series home run baseball, football kicked into the crowd at a Champions League match?

    For the Scottish Premier League? :p He's not the player he was even two years ago, not by a long way. Could still do a job though.

    Martin: criticise.

    Golf...what clubs you got...Calloway, Mizuno, John Letters, Dunlop,?...handicap?


    Football jerseys...how many you got?...any signed players tops?

    I have Ping Eye 2 irons, a Callaway War Bird Driver, Adams 7 wood and a Ping Pal 2 putter. My handicap is not very good at 18.2 :down:.

    As for football jerseys, I have 3 Juventus (Black from 01-02, home from 02-03, and home from 03-04), Bayern Munich 02-03 home, Valencia 02-03 away, Manchester United L/S Black 03-04, hmmm... oh yeah, Udinese 00-01, Spain 02, France 02 with Zidane, Italy home 00-01, Italy away 02.

    I'll take a picture of them and post them. Oh, and none of them are signed :( and I'm gonna see my first soccer game in person with European teams at SkyDome in Toronto on July 31st, when Celtic play Roma. Maybe I'll get a signature on my Italian jersey.

    Here is my (very) small gallery. Pictures were taken with a Practica on a black-and-white film. I developed them (cutting, exposing etc.) in a lab with my own hands. So the only digital process was the scanning. The negatives (e.g. windows) were also produced while working in the lab - no photoshop action.

    But it is very long-winded until you get the picture in your hand. So I really prefer digital cameras - though working in the darkroom gives an artistic touch. The specific is that you can ruin your pictures very easily in the lab. :D The Practica was a very modern camera (in the former GDR). It had an integrated gimmick which showed wether the picture will be exposed well or not - very cool at that time.

    Now cameras have installed image stabilizer. :reminiscing: :)

    EDIT: How expensive are cameras in Norway?? :eek: I wouldn't save any money by ordering at adorama.com (neither Canon Powershot nor Kodak DX6490)

    Zlatan, what's HIIT?

    HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training

    Basically, it's a way of running and/or training you could say. The basics is alternating between moderate and high intensity workout. if you're running, it means you run at a normal, moderate tempo for 5 minutes and then do an all out sprint for 1 minute, run again normally for 5 minutes, and again sprint for 1 or 1.5 minutes. Altho both sprinting and LD (long distance) running burn roughly the same amount of fat and calories while working out, sprinting is much harder on the body and it speeds up your metablosim, so you actually burn more energy even after your excercise is finished, contrary to LD. Sprinting builds muscle while LD running actually burns up muscle over time. So, HIIT is a technique that uses elements of both worlds. The goal while sprinting is to bring your heart to 90-95% of its max.

    He stinks.
    yup.

    And talking about football jerseys, i found a juventus jersey today hehe :D Signed aswell. I didnt know i had it. My mums friend gets me jerseys now and then, she works at old trafford and gives me the ones she gets that isnt MU. Good thing as id probably burn the MU ones :D. I must have been from ManUtd V Juventus 2 seasons ago. Yeah the one juve got stuffed. I dont know who signed it tho, ill take some photos and put them up and maybe you guys can identify the sigs.

    Apart from that i got a couple of chelsea jerseys, vialli, poyet, wise, a signed beckham england jersey 2000 or so, and a few others.

    I dont really collect them, just have them. Signed things dont mean alot to me to be honest :D

    On another note i also found an un-opened pay packet from my old job 2001.
    Im redecorating my room, ive thrown out about 4black binbags of stuff, and given 3 full of clothes to oxfam :D

    very very expensive, what is inexpensive in Norway? If I remember well I would say that alcohol is high priced, too!?
    Yeah, there's a substantial tax on alcohol. I suppose what is relatively cheap here is real estate. The prices are comparable or lower than elsewhere in the world, while everything else is rather expensive.

    Hey, I'm not endorsing your work-from-home program of manufacturing fake jerseys, scribbling something on them and selling them for profit to feed your alcohol habit, missy. :p
