+The Longdogs Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I occasionally stock my cache with prints of my landscape photos from time to time. They have to rolled in cardboard tubes to protect them. The tubes are too long to fit the cache box and have to be trimmed with a tenon saw. Doing just that this morning, my wife remarked that there was something in the tube as I reached the halfway point. There was. Her medical degree certificate and the certificate marking her admission to the Royal College of Physicians! She's not in the least bit bothered, but I had to sit down on the kitchen floor until everything stopped spinning and I could breath again. Replacement MRCP certificate is around £90. I'm still waiting to hear from Dundee University, but I imagine a price about the same. Needless to say I gave up on the maintenance visit, but the next finder to pull a print from the cache should be aware that the tube protecting it cost me nearly two hundred quid!

+Seganku Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Those are some nice pics Deego Edited March 1, 2006 by Seganku Quote Link to comment
+The Longdogs Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 LOL! Nice pics Deego. I normally put my stuff on a website (see sig) but thought it would be a different (and until now) cheap swap that was a bit out of the ordinary. I'll probably drop one in tomorrow, look for the maintenance log if you are interested. Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Thanks for the comments on the photos (and Seganku) I have seen your site before, nice to see somebody else with loads of pictures of their dog glad I am not the only one. Jake has so many I had to do him his own page. I like the idea of putting prints in caches , might have to do some thinking on that. Maybe a slide show DVD Quote Link to comment

+Eco-sheep Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Replacement MRCP certificate is around £90. Blimey , I wonder if they could justify that price if it weren't for the certificate's exclusivity? Take care, Steve. Edited March 1, 2006 by Eco-sheep Quote Link to comment

+kbootb Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I just put my photos on a web site its cheaper Yup a web site is a lot cheaper Excellent photos. Now I remember why I used to have an SLR. Ditched it a few years ago for the convenience of a digital that I could stick in my pocket. Takes good snaps but no control over shutter speed, depth of focus etc. Quote Link to comment
+Kitty Hawk Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 These days my wife is quite calm when I damage things of hers. She didn't used to be, but now she knows I replace 'new for old'. (usually before she finds out!) Quote Link to comment
