Hi Mr Flay. This probably isn't the most appropriate thread to introduce myself in, so I'll keep it brief. miss-soap suggested I talk to you in response to this post, so I thought I'd pop over and say hello. Any advice or help (or even not-particularly-helpful related info) you could offer would be most gratefully received. Ta, J.
I have been rubbish at reciprocating to this; I scarcely pop up on LJ these days. However, I shall fix this now. Thankyou for letting me come along to your party, I hope you had obscene quantities of fun :)
Heh, that is okay - I am embarrassingly quick to respond to things and would much rather have the sort of interesting life where I am too busy to be on LJ so often.
I am so glad that you were at the party as it was lovely to meet you and you looked wonderful. :)
You don't know me, (which is silly for me to re-iterate as you most likely know this already, but it works as a paragraph opening), but if the Canon A1 is still available and I see you have a Paypal system set up, I'd like to purchase it and the two lenses from you. I live in the States at the moment, a Brit abroad, so I'd gladly cover the postage costs as well.
So that you don't ponder too long on who the heck I am and where I came from, I have augeas as a friend, who recently posted a youtube of your 'doings' in escapology with a link to your journal marked as 'Ed'.
the problem with the Canon A1 is that the little battery that drives its internals has died, and the last film I used in it developed blank (though that could be due to my own ineptitude rather than a fault with the camera). I have no idea where the damned battery fits into the camera, and apparently getting a camera technician to replace it and service the camera would cost £80 an hour. So if you're prepared to shell out for the carcass and shipping and take on the renovation yourself, I'd be happy to sell it to you, but I've already had one buyer back off after hearing the effort involved in it.
Just felt I should warn you - don't believe in Caveat Emptor!
Thanks for your honesty, very much appreciated. If I was back in Brighton, I'd jump on it because I have friends 'that do', however, whilst I'm here in sunny California, I know of no-one who would fix it for me on the strength of one of my 'slap-up feeds'. So, sadly, I'll have to abandon ship too. Though I hate to do so. dash it all, I only I were home again. Maybe, once I have returned, (some time soon preetyplease, oh mighty fridge godz), if it's still up for grabs I can look into it again. In the meanwhile, good luck with shedding the un-needed paraphernalia, especially forward spiders. >:)

I hope you don't mind but I have friended you so that I can invite you to the next one and all that malarkey, also because you are so nice. :)
