Moo are not the cheapest, but they are good quality and very quick to deliver.

I have used them to make Xmas cards for my mother to use. The last two years has seen my dog Texas posing on the front of 4 different cards!

I use Moo - you can go for the business card, or the "moo" card which is a slimmer version. The quality is fantastic ... I use them for business cards, note cards and stickers!! Love em!

I seem to be operating with in normal(ish) parameters to to quote Star Trek Dr said my BMI is a bit high and blood pressure is a little high so will have to stay of the cake, buggers n chips and just eat salads for a while longer.

still on the hunt for a builder, the one's I've contacted either don't phone you back or have come round to quote but never actually given a quote, its like they don't want the work. Madness!

Living room carpet being fitted tomorrow so that will be the first finished room!

Cheers for the BBQ ideas, I firstly need to by a cooker aswell, 60cm, gas hob and electric double over if anyone knows of one lying around!

Ian, im a member on the Rated People website, you may wish to try looking for a local builder on there, just enter your brief, this will go live and you should get three replys regarding the job, we all get feedback ratings and have samples of previous works, Simples.

I use Vistaprint. All free and cheap shipping. A good first step if you are just sticking your toe in the water.

Wonderful shot of the grasshopper - great colour isnt it.

The hoverfly is "volucella zonaria" - one of the largest of the hovers. The other one that might also be confused with it is volucella inanis but the two can be separated easily as "zonaria" - yours - has the chestnut brown markings.

cheers Linda, I found out its name on Brians Flickr, next step is to try and get a decent photo of it

Cannot speak for b/room "fitting" but for gen plumbing & CH we have used Frank Tigwell ~ local guy to us near Guildford who I surmise would travel.........but how far??? He certainly has a busy diary. Apart from local ads we found him on the "Buy with Confidence" website and would hope you could find one much 'in your area' :D

An update for you ref SWMBO ~ the break turned out to be more serious :( both bones at the distal end (i.e. by the ankle joint) are fractured. We spent the almost the whole day at the hospital with them initially saying she would go into surgery today...........slow forward to late afternoon and now booked for next week to be made into the bionic woman.....oh well she might set off the metal detectors at the airport :lol: Then 6 weeks in a cast with no weight allowed on the foot!!!!! Not the happiest memory for her of the Farnes trip :(

I dunno, i think some of them are pretty good considering it didn't even look like he had time to focus with the M9. There are a couple of startled faces but other than that they are pretty good and seem natural. I wouldn't have guessed that he had taken them in that manner if i hadn't seen the video first.

I agree that its rude not to say thank you as you move on though.

I guess he must have an approx. focus distance in mind - he seemed to have a pretty consistent operating space in mind for most of those shots - and good ol' B&W hides a multitude of sins! ;)

I know!
I have been having this internal struggle for well over a year now - its a beautiful lens and great for when you are out and about. Its always been my
"holiday" lens. I dont really want to part with it, but in the same breath i think i might get more use out of another lens that doesnt overlap my existing focal ranges so much.

Do the hard stops work well?

Do you think you can ignore them for the entire PP life cycle of a photo or god forbid video? That's a big claim ;) :p

hard stops work well only make a bit of a click sound when the stop hits the top marker, but can be fixed easily with some of those 3M sticky pads on each side to cushion it (its the metal hitting metal thats making the noise, and there is no backlash.

That's ok. As long as you don't think ignoring them will make them go away.

Depends on the lens, I use a 50mm plate on the 70-200mm and a 60mm plate on the 300mm. I have one of these on the 7D - L plate (http://www.warehouseexpress.com/l-brackets-and-lens-collars/b3191?SortBy=BestSellerOrder&PageNum=1)
have a look at this (http://www.flickr.com/photos/andys1/5863241921/). This does have a different clamp

What size plate would you suggest for a body+shortish zoom? I was going to get a couple of plates for bodies and a 60mm. Would 60mm do for bodies as well?

Yes , the clamp is 50mm, on my 50D I have a 70mm plate, but then I got it cheap.
So a 50 or 60mm plate is fine, unless you want a bit of movement then put a longer one on.
