Re: Prints from Digital Photos, recommendations please.

Thanks Chris its an idea. I do find it hard to believe that all those folk with smartphones never want to order prints online.

Re: Could Catalanunya survive

I suspect many would be happy...

Re: Legal TV options in Spain

Re: Conflict of interest

Come on boys, don't be silly it was a joke. Another one of those Daily Mail reports.
