Oh crap.

If someone is going who lives in the same house as me *cough*Dad*cough* then I'll get him to pay for it and pick it up otherwise I'll find someone else to do it.

I've got an all-day play rehearsal on Saturday at the Cell Block.

I'll find out this week when the rehearsals are on 'till.

If all fails, I don't go to bed, take a train and arrive at Birdy's for the 4am praying, try to catch a ride with someone back into the city a little later, and get to the Cell Block for some tiring rehearsal. :lol:

Hi Stubbsy

I have just joined a couple of weeks ago, and hope to post some photos soon. I have been learning how to use the Nikon D70 and have been out happy snapping. Once Doug has calibrated my monitor I will post them up later tonight PS Thanks to Sir HC55 for lending us Spyder. :wink:

Cheers

Why would we do that when there's a D70 up for grabs in Challenge 7? :lol: :lol: :lol: But funnily enough I already have an image to submit but Doug has nothing and doesn't look like having one. :lol:
