Goodbye MPG!
lol. True statement. Although, at 13 mpg city with the stockers on there, it can't get TOO much worse, lol. I'm expecting 10-11 city. Roughly 16 mpg highway. I don't drive too much so gas isn't that big of a deal. I fill up less than twice per month, takes about 23 gallons to fill most of the time. The wife drives an '05 Toyota Corolla S (~34 mpg), so that helps!
That looks a lot like KFC's logo and packaging....
Is this Ken's place anywhere near London and is it something I should bother trying when I go there in a few months?

Erm sadly not, they're all in and around the Portsmouth and Southsea area, no-where near London, sorry.
It's certainly far cheaper (and nicer) than actual KFC...

Lange WC 160's and some new boards....
Nice setup. I'm a Head skier myself, but always liked the Lange boots. Do you compete?

I bought it primarly as a portrait lens. I was using my 50, which effectively is more like 75mm, but it never performed like a true 75mm. Meaning you get the basic magnification without all the other goodies of a true prime. That said, the 90mm was smooth. I found it to be quite fast with the focus. Now, as a macro lens it'll be used in MF mode. The barrel zoom is about 2 inches, which is a lot for a barrel to move in and out on a macro lens. Probably less so on the Nikon 105mm for twice the price.
I have to admit, this is a good lens. When buying it I told the retailer that I was not interested in flooding my bag with cheap lenses any longer. While I started with some true gems in the film age, as I moved to digital it became price over anything. This is just wrong and I know better. The guy told me that if money were no object (meaning I said I was prepared to pay 2x for the Nikon 105mm) then he would still get the Tamron. I found that interesting because he only knows me for someone to come in, spit out exactly what I want, lay down the cash and walk out. I don't doddle.
As a prime it is great. It served me well the next day doing headshots. I found the bokeh to be nice and smooth, it handled a low-contrast cloudy day very well. I can't complain. I've tried a couple of test macros out but nothing significant.
My only complaint, if it even is one, is that it does focus slightly slower. It is so insignificant though that I can't really tell. If it were searching for a long time (like a 100mm prime I have from vivitar [another diamond in the rough]) then yeah, I'd be pissed.

Why haven't you posted a picture of your new 50D
What did you have before you bought the 50D and how are you liking the upgrade? I have a 450D which I am really enjoying using at the moment but would not rule out swapping it out for a 40D or a 50D in the not too distant future.

Mmm.
I have to say I'm a bit confused. If I was served something like that at a fast food restaurant I'd probably be saying, "That's it?" What's so great about a slab of fried pork on a bun? I usually expect more!

Hate to break it to you, it's chicken... It's also very greasy, but Chick-fila or how ever it is... Is not that bad.
