What breed of dog is this little fella:

Right?

Recommend them please.

And it feels good

Just roughed this up to give you the general idea.

Of course it wouldn't look half as shit as this when finished, but is it even legible at all, and is it worth starting on properly?

My girlfriend wants to take up photography and is looking at buying a digital SLR camera.

What's a good first SLR camera that costs around $400-500?

She was considering this one. Is it a good choice and/or could she get something just as good/better for less money?

Cheers.

I've received about 10 sets recently and don't know who any are from. Own up and there might be a nice return of favour in it for you.

I received a letter at my old address from UPS saying to call a number as I had a parcel delivered for collection.

The letter is dated 16th November and I was to call within 10 days or the parcel would be returned to sender. It has been, but the only sender details are the shipping company used by the sender, so I have no idea what the parcel is.

Caretek DBA Timberline is their name, and a Google search doesn't help much.

As far as I know I'm not waiting on any deliveries from the USA that would require such formal shipping, but I'd like to know what it was and receive the damn thing.

Any advice?

My girlfriend is amazing. Today she brought me this amazing advent calendar she'd made. Each of those dangling ribbons is numbered and has a gift tied to the end! Those black things are socks - it wouldn't be Christmas without socks right? But... there's another present inside each sock!

There's no ribbon for the 25th - on this day I get to unwrap a BIG present she also brought. So I don't have to wait until Christmas for present opening fun - I get one to open every day until then!

So far:

1 = A red wooden cylindrical block, about 2" in height and 3/4" in diameter. I'm told its mystery will be revealed as I open more presents.

2 = Cadbury's Dairy Milk. My favourite chocolate, brought over from her recent trip to London.

Weird stuff

I love food. I wish I'd been a chef. I consider myself relatively open-minded when it comes to food - I'll try most things and it is my ambition to taste every kind of meat - even the forbidden meat.

I don't like eating meat that still has eyes, and I won't eat shrimps and prawns that are still whole - partly because they look like insects (I'd never eat insects), and partly because I hate food that is a chore to prepare - all that deshelling, and head-ripping - that's the chef's job! I don't even like eating meat off the bone purely because I'd rather just shovel the stuff into my mouth rather than have the extra effort of separating meat from bone.

Most of the stuff on that page I'd eat. Live shrimp - not in a million years. Live anything for that matter.
