.
As part of Jimi's ongoing sales campaign we are pleased to announce that this month's calendar is a picture of that finest of AWBs, Glen Rosa, under not quite full sail somewhere (we presume) in the Solent.
(The invoice is in the mail Jim)
The picture is by Para. We cannot help feeling that a photographer of his undoubted talent should consider upgrading to a camera of more than 2 megapixel capability.

I spy with my little eye ...... that's not the same piccy as was posted in the other thread. How many of the bloody thing did he take; wasn't there something vaguely interesting about; not even a funny shaped cloud? It's the curse of digital photies - with film at least there was a tendency to wait until something worth photographing came along.

There's only yin auld goat, and you are he
Para's no a goat, he's a miserly skinflint wi' the culinary skills of Merlin on speed and the debating skills of Cicero en vino, hence his nickname of Uncle Ebenezer ..

That's much better. Looks like a boat instead of a soapdish. Is it for sale as well?
