I think the polarising filter for my camera is £25 maybe more but 3 of them could club in. I would rather have one gift from all of them.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-40404575344923602482014-11-13T14:05:24.551+00:002014-11-13T14:05:24.551+00:00Do remind me of your little list when I win the Lo...Do remind me of your little list when I win the Lottery.

And at MY age!) and so never wear specs out of doors, when it's contacts for me. When at home as I'm alone I need to wear glasses to watch TV, but reading (and computer) is fine without anything at all - though, now you come to mention it, I do have a magnifying glass for reading fine details on maps so that would do should I need it - but I don't, yet.

I pretend to myself that they make my eye sight worse it I wear them all the time. what about a magnifying glass? I would love one of those ones that goes around your neck for when I am making beaded jewellery for myself.

Not quite an easy a read as I recall it being.<br /><br />I used to work as accountant for a management magazine just off Baker Street at the end of 1991 - for a mere two months before it went bankrupt. Your photos of the underground station tapped at a few memories.<br /><br />I agree with Dave above that Basil Rathbone was the best Holmes (along with Nigel Bruce, the best Dr Watson), even though Rathbone got to loathe being typecast in that particular role. Maybe it's a generational thing but I think the films still stand up well all these years later. I always smile when Holmes seems to say at some point in every single film - "Come on, Watson. We haven't a moment to lose!"Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-90033295143043008502014-11-12T11:58:05.474+00:002014-11-12T11:58:05.474+00:00Hi Tom, there were lots of people lining up to hav...Hi Tom, there were lots of people lining up to have their pictures taken with all different hats and the police man. They took forever, digital is a blessing and a curse. At least with film you didnt want to waste it. Now they take hundreds of pictures but still compose them like they can only take one picture. I am more a click the button and rush to the next thing.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-41388474745283465222014-11-12T10:51:31.294+00:002014-11-12T10:51:31.294+00:00I love all this nonsense, and I'm still lookin...I love all this nonsense, and I'm still looking for Basil's hat!Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-76223946172310958622014-11-12T10:04:02.140+00:002014-11-12T10:04:02.140+00:00Hey Dave, there is nothing better on a dank dark r...Hey Dave, there is nothing better on a dank dark raining saturday afternoon than watching a Sherlock film. oh and now I want hot chocolateSolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5275239266133000382.post-28511870501542566582014-11-12T08:55:10.587+00:002014-11-12T08:55:10.587+00:00Hi Sol.
