J Darcy 5,871 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Nice picture JD... It would have been if i had got the bloody thing in focus! I think I need a refresher course in photography! Maybe its the seemingly obligatory 'to hand' insert, that is fooling the camera... No, i was actually photographing the lovely wall in the background!! That's in focus... Will get some better ones soon when i get me new pup...... Quote Link to post

I don't want the retreive to be a 'game' or 'fun', I want it to be a 'conditioned act' But, we each have our own methods Good Luck....JD What big hands you have, all the better to................. Pick my big nose with!!! (thought i had better get that in before some other barsteward did!) Quote Link to post

But he is an experiment that will hopefully have a conclusion that may prove, or disprove, my thoughts on certain matters. To save anyone spending their hard earned 'queens head' on the future book that i have spent a while on with, the basic gist of the whole thing can be summed up in three words "There's no rush" But such a publication is still a long way away.....
