I changed my mind, did not get the sword-cane, got a less expensive sword that I needed for my collection and got a bunch of stuff for my camera, most of the David Attenbourough(sp?) movies, a tazer and some other odds and ends instead.
I can only use a cane to go to the bathroom and to get a drink, pretty much, now, and I'm getting much worse a lot faster... spending that much on a high-end art cane just did not seem smart.
I'll get a lot more use out of my lenses, flash, filters & flix. (My son will like the nature movies too... I love the Living Seas box set I have and have been wanting the rest)

I love David Attenborough's shows. But, between his accent/quiet voice, high background noise, and my bad hearing, they are hard for me to follow. I have to watch each show many times to catch it all.
Hmmm...come to think of it...that's not a bad thing.

I've been watching movies with the subtitles on - it really helps when you have a lot of background noise, kids, others talking...

I often have subtitles on - because I live on a main road, I find I miss lines of dialogue when lorries or buses go by. If I turn it up loud enough to hear it over the large vehicles, it's too loud for general viewing (especially background music).

Luckily we have a system called teletext here (don't think it's global) which you can access from any TV. Hit 888 and most TV programmes are subtitled. This also helps with some of the accents on American programmes. Without a Trace and CSI New York off the top of my head...

I love it when you say "lorries."

I have a hard time picturing Peter Lorrie making a lot of noise, passing by... more like gliding on little cat feet.
