Here's a picture of my new knob.

Edit*
Just realised the highly appropriate artist+song combo too

What camera and lens did you take that with mrk? Tried looking at your photography threads but there are a bajillion..

The EXIF Data says its his Canon 5D3 with 35mm lens.

Can confirm, depth of field at maximum (or is that minimum?

) therefore a proper mrk shot with proper mrk lens.

Is that like the Nylabone ones if so I would swap it for something more tooth friendly as they can detroy their teeth on those. Just have to type it in google to see the damage they do.

Oh really? We were specifically recommended this type. Will definitely check it out, thanks for the heads up.

Nope - it's taken at F2.8 on a F1.4 lens, so there could be more bokeh's

Do you even bokeh!

At 1.4 there would be more bokeh. I used 2.8 to widen the depth of field so all of my knob could be in focus since it's pretty large. Otherwise just the tip would have been in focus

I love the depth of field your knob has. It's just the right depth there.

I bought myself a curve card. Saves me carrying a big wallet around. I can slip the card in my bus pass wallet.

I have a propensity to collect a variety of different things, from film memorabilia and artwork, to the occasional vintage book.

I recently acquired an exceptionally clean copy of The Ingoldsby Legends of Mirth and Marvels by Richard Barham, which features some sinister illustrations!
This particular copy was published in 1887, so it's just shy of 130 years old!
To own something that predates the first World War, the sinking of the Titantic, and even the Whitechapel murders is something to behold! A bit of history on my mantel, so to speak!

Black or blue? As a Curve member had an email earlier about the Blue being free soon and Black reducing to £50. They are an awesome bunch though so will likely give you some money back if you ask 'nicely'

I love my Curve. Saved so so much when away. Was ace when they accepted Amex, I just hope they can get them back onboard

robfosters · 14 Oct 2016 at 20:46

It's a blue. I'm phoning them in Monday as they sent me a promotional code for a free card, but there was nowhere to enter it. The order for the card went through, but I have been charged £35 for it. I might try to get that back as the promotional code offer was confusing.

I wish they'd get moving with the android app though.

Kol · 14 Oct 2016 at 20:48

Cool. Yea they'll sort it. Last time I needed assistance I tweeted them and a few minutes later had a message in the Curve app from one of the guys and all resolved.

Greebo · 14 Oct 2016 at 20:50

Love the idea of the curve card, hadnt seen that before...........

Just seen their Android app is a useless dummy app so if I want to use Curve its Apple only

shame.

Scottland · 14 Oct 2016 at 20:54

Yeah been waiting ages for the Android app to launch.

dbmzk1 · 14 Oct 2016 at 22:51

Why not just use Android/Apple Pay? Does the same thing only without an actual card!

G-MAN2004 · 14 Oct 2016 at 22:53

How many cards have you got to warrant using that?

Not everywhere accepts it yet, and I find it longwinded compared to a contactless card. It's a fad for me.

I've got two debits and 3 credits.

Android pay literally uses contactless so is accepted everywhere a normal contactless card works.

I'm interested in the curve card though as it would allow me to use my Amex in places that don't take it !
