Another possibility maybe: On another forum where I mod, not all the boards are visible to guests.

If the chancers were unaware of this board, then they could not abuse it.

While acknowledging that English evolves. it seems to be in freefall at moment. Even people who are paid to speak it properly seem unable to do so. I suspect George would join me in a wince when the news reader on BBC1 referred to "Court Martials".

My own personal gripe is apostrophe abuse. [RANT] They do not denote plurals. [/RANT] Seen on a large property maintenance chain van recently - "Electrician's"

I do like good use of the English language, but sometimes just a subtle variation on it seems to give someone a bit of personality, for example, Pauly's tendency to leave the last g of participles, but if I recall correctly he does use an apostrophe to denote a missing letter.

Another word of caution on letting the sun shine through lenses. The house in which I grew up had some bull's eye panes of glass in the windows. One day there was a burning smell and after some hunting around, we found an armchair in the living room smouldering where the sun had been focused on it by the glass.

Compatibility list. Doesn't look good.

(Gives Polchraine extra hard Paddington stony stare)

Back on topic sort of I am going the other way. I want to take aircraft pictures but there are a limited number of airshows I can get to so I have been practising on seagulls. I would assume the tactic is similar. I have been using my 60-255, 300 and 150-500 using relatively high shutter speed and panning.

Would one not have to be rather vigorous to get the fluid on the sensor?
