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.

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.
Cheers

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

Sorry Birddog, will not be able to come this weekend. Helen will be flying to China for two months on Tuesday and we are spending some family time, her, me and Henry.
Cheers,
