Another thing is to stick something solid behind the fly or the camera wants to try and focus on the background and not the fly, grass is good!

A set of mystery buzzers arrived today. No postage, usrename, return envelope or address. Can anybody claim them? (the hand drawn stamp was particularly impressive!)

Firstly,
Yes they were mine Matt - will send you a SAE in the post. I was nipping over to Dyce today so lashed them into a bag and threw them at your letterbox - a sort of drive by flyswap, sorry for flouting the 'rules' - tyrant!

No Baz, if they look like your (supposedly posted) blue junk then shoot me. :z7 :z4
