Subject: Admission of mobile phone use and encouraging others to use the blasted things


I am so sorry, but you are not only banned but also dead.


As ever,

I love a good gadget, and seeing as I lost my camera bank stick adaptor that does look nifty, how much was the spider thing? I would think it would come in handy for lots of angling situations actually!

Its very good and versatile could be a bank stick attachment hold a camera or phone or you could use it to throttle an otter!
 
was this not sold on a recent show of the apprentice?

13th Century, eh...

Still a little modern for strict Tweed-Cane-'n'-Woad Pre-Conquest Traditionalists like myself, but We might let you off - this time.

Ya don't need an old camera Clive....just one with a big enough lens to take real photos. Which you can't do with a phone. Don't be conned by the pixel count into thinking you can....they are cr*p :D

Cheers, Dave.
 
Are lenses a bit too modern? I might go straight for a sketch artist!
