The shamful Credit Services

2009-04-14T16:47:00.002Z

About a week ago I received a letter from a Wescot Credit Services explaining that there was a electricity bill of 3000 quid not paid for and that by looking at the credit check database they found that it's listed as one of the address I was living. True I did rent a room at the address listed, I phoned and explain that I was living there for specified period of time and paid a rent all inclusive. That bill had nothing to do with.

But today I received another letter saying that I needed to pay the amount. I phoned their servic and found that incredebly now I had an account at British Gas for that address and owned the money. They nicely ask if I gonna pay, I obviously say certainly not. They were obviously not collaborating and I got pretty annoyed so they hang up. I phoned again this afternoon after calming down and ask for when this bill was. The unpaid bill is for a period that is more than 1 year after I left the property.

I said that, but know they ask me to prove that inform British Gas that i wsa leaving the property, otherwise I would be liable !!!! they were keeping repeating the same thing. I just justified for having closed an account that I never had, and that I should have closed before it went into the unpaid period !!!!

F****g S******S !!

Just parasite jumping on the first fellow, and you have to prove that you are more than innoncent !!!

Film is back

2009-03-31T07:17:00.000Z

The last 5 pictures have all been taken on a used Nikon F100, lens 50 mm f/1.4 and Film Sensia 100 or 400 133/36.

Film is getting back to the front it seems so I gave it a try. Not expensive 200 quid for the second best 35mm SLR and 2 to 5 quid per film.

The only problem in the uk is that there is no real cheap and quality option for a process and scan, specially for slid film that need to be process as E6, thanks to the economics of price discrimination even if the scanning of a slide is easier than a print film it will cost you more ...

Anyway for a try I send 2 rolls I did for St Patrick's Day in Dublin to peak-imaging. The slide looks great on a light box but the print were a bit disapointing ...

So I bought a scanner Plustek and scan them myself, once it's scan you have the equivalent of a digital picture except that the raw - the film - containes much more information than the one from a digital camera.

As shooting with film has more constraints it's also focus you more on the fundamental, why are you taken that picture, what's interesting... you have to make an effort to visualize, no immediate snapshot gratification. As such it is a complementary exercise to the digital.

One thing that would make the downturn worse - beside subsidies of to car industry -, trade barriers. And here we go :

With the global economy facing its worst recession in decades, protectionism is a growing risk.

PS: it seems that the credit crisis, would be over the worse.no it's time for the "real" economy to adjust.
