hmb. Your first comment got through, but the next two turned up for approval. I don’t know why, I’m not blocking you, honest.
HMB – I’ve only just found out what your problem is. I’ll phone Bearsy in a couple of hours and sort it out. I’m the only one with access to the Internet at the moment, I’m not techie enough to do much more than keep approving approving your comments. When it’s done I’ll e-mail you.
Bravo – these sorts of studies annoy me too!

HMB the only reason I asked was because, in ‘Recent Comments’ your name appeared as helpmaboab. In your actual comment shown on this page, it appears as helpmaboat, or that is what I thought until I realised that the comments cut off a bit of ther ‘b’ to make it look like a ‘t’. Sorry. 😦
I am Tocino. Right!
Nothing to do with the post, but, if you haven’t seen them, get a load of these all you photographers out there 🙂
