A humourous (yeah, that's how WE spell it !) message with an important meaning ..... from your friendly Brit !

And yeah, we too have certain sections of the population that can't, won't, adhere ......

Among my friends, we decided long ago that these should our second to last dying words to our loved ones. “Don’t sell my camera stuff for what I told you I paid for it!”

Good morning Craggy,

Absolutely perfect. I guess there really are photogs like myself who can very, very easily identify with your observation .

Stay safe / healthy and all the best to you and yours,

That's a funny line that applies to most hobbies. In my case, I think everything would go to Good Will and the Salvation Army. I have eighty ukuleles! : )

Guyserman Loc: Benton, AR

Ukulele GAS?

This is also true for boats.

Isn't this true for most hobby gear collections:
Skis, fishing rods, etc.?
(I really enjoy this forum for the many things I've learned, the gorgeous photos and the humor.)

WJB Loc: Salisbury, MD

Thanks, maybe I should organize my camera equipment during this "quiet" time, except my wife is home too.
Instead, I think I'll stick to going through all the books lying around.

Fun topic!

I have accumulated 500 different bottles of whisky over the years - mostly single malts - from about 20 different countries. Hmmm? I wonder what my wife or daughter will do with that. Sell it off at 2% of true value? Or throw a week long wake with all our friends & family (that’s what I’d do)!

brooklyn-camera I Loc: Brooklyn, NY

Told my wife to give them to my son who's into photography too. All my equipment costs $250-$300 each item, just ask the wife she'll let you know. LOL.....

lsaguy Loc: Udall, KS, USA

Wulffm, Not to wish you any bad luck, but can I sign up for your wake? I've been nursing a bottle of SM scotch for a few years now. A single shot on my birthday and New Years makes it go a long way.
Stay healthy and blue skies,

Rick

To all who've taken the trouble to "join in" many thanks from a somewhat different island off the European mainland where things are changing pretty rapidly - well, we DID leave the EU only 2 months ago !!

Enjoy the fun, hell participate more if you want !

To those who have responded "that can apply to many/all hobbies", or something similar ....... yep, and I "snaffled" it from the respondee to one of my "biker" friend's fb posts, and thought "that can apply to lots of UHH togs I read about" - so, hands up, I'm guilty !

Isaguy - just open the bottle and start enjoying - plenty more in reserves in "the Highlands".

jerryc41 - we're so used here to Salvation Army "brass bands" that it'd be real fun to see an eighty-piece ukelele band !

wulffm - you old soak, you - how many of those 500 bottles have ya' swigged? Maybe your ladies haven't "acquired the taste" - don't take the risk, old fella, enjoy it now !

You folks in the US have a far greater population than us. You'll see larger "bad news" figures than us - do as you're asked and we all hope those numbers, being relative, will soon follow those countries in a more advanced stage than us. It make take longer than we all hope/think - please make sure you're all still with us to come out the other end !

I see you're new - often it's difficult to know who (newcomers especially) are referring to in their comments. The solution? When you want to respond (say to me) just hit the "quote reply" box you'll see at the bottom of every post, write your response in the new box, hit send and by some technical magic we'll all be able to make out who you're addressing !
