You need a bit of stamina to read this, and Shirley needed considerably more to transcribe it from my recording, which featured coughs, bumps, people pouring water, loud music, and often rather muffled speakers:

Shirley must be an amazing woman! I'll tell you, in order to get me to do that you would have probably had to give me a brand new A900 + CZ 24-70mm. I don't come cheap. I think you owe her big time!

Shirley, thanks for all the hard work!

Yeah I agree, I can imagine how difficult that would have been, great job Shirley.

With apologies to Charles Dickens . . .

"Greater love hath no woman . . . "

With best wishes,

PS
I know - I should be ashamed of myself, but I also love puns. What can I say in my defense?

Well, half way through she was cursing me. I had placed the Zoom recorder facing the wrong way, so the speakers were a bit muted, and every fart and shuffle from the journos was amplified to the max

Shirley is an extremely fast keyboarder and runs commentaries on popular TV programs, which she types in real-time as they are shown, and a large number of people follow these. She has been invited to go to the official 'Coach Trip' reunion party, because the producers and participants know she has been the most comprehensive summary writer, but we are away abroad on the date so she can't.

So far this has not been 'monetized' but she's aiming for that - she has a better reputation than many of the national newspaper TV commentary official blogs.

But, there is an APP for that!
BTW, thank you very much for sharing this information with us.

Tom: The Dickens attribution troubled me, so I googled "greater love hath no . . . ." It's from the King James version, John, ch. 15. v. 13: "greater love hath no man . . . ."

Of course Shirley is to be thanked profusely by all for persevering to give us this--as ever.

Now please clue me in as to where Dickens utilized this Biblical phrase. I haven't read Dickens in many a year, and need to.

Thanks very much for that excellent piece of work David - I found it most interesting and your comments on the NEX enlightening.

Thanks a lot to Shirley. It needs a lot of patience.
May I suggest an "encore" for the A7xx launch?

Ah, no need for embarrassment--otherwise we'd all be walking arounf embarassed all the time! What counted was the sentiment.
