   Bravo, Gossipmistress! Et bravo encore, Edouard!

   I shall tell them over at so that all may marvel.

   How can anyone top this, I wonder...?

   Good grief GM! What were you doing in the other photos? Up on the stage at the Lido doing the Can-Can?

   I think we should be told...

   Si.

   How did you do it. I once flew one with a banner, but making that much smoke must have cleared at least one Parisien bar - hopefully not the Old Navy on Bvd St Germain.....

   Actually, I think GM trained a stunt fly that carried a very small can of the smoke they use in aerobatic displays. She smuggled the fly over, then it flew about 6" in front of the camera at her signal...

   A "self-cropping camera" Valery? Doesn't that hurt?

   Reminds me of one of my favourite classroom clangers:

   "People go self-cantering at Butlin's Holiday Camp"... (Excuse me while I exhaust myself with laughter at the image that this conjures up, again...)

   FFred - it took me years, years to train that fly.

   He was called Ernie (his friend, Eric was half a bee) - I say was because unfortunately he met with a tragic accident on the way home.

   He escaped from his jam jar on the Eurostar and before I could translate 'Stop! He's a stunt fly' a frenchman swatted him with a copy of 'Le Monde'. What a sad way to go. It wasn't even The Times.

   Aunt D what was on the banner?

   Val P - I meant to mean that the writing was there in the viewfinder, that's my poor grammar! (Sorry!)

   Si - oh far more risque(h!) than that ;-)

    My third attempt to acknowledge the pain that a "self-cropping camera" must cause.

    And, I must ask you Valery, does this mean that shorter people are better photographers?

    I suppose it must depend upon how tall one was before taking up the hobby...

    Gosh, I've just noticed the following in my post at 10:

    There are three paragraphs.

    There are three sentences.

    There are three instances of the use of the word "must".

    Is this a sign of something other-worldly or just very poor use of grammar and structure?

    Appy - I just love the self-cantering picture!

    Yeh, I knew I didn't really mean self-cropping when I wrote it but, I couldn't think of a succint way of expressing it quickly.

    Re shorter people being better photographers - no, we just get a good view of folks' knees.

    Hello Valery, I do like the way that you deal with my nonsense in such a methodical and sensible manner. But it does make me feel more inclined to nonsense.

    Do you have any decent pictures of well-known knees? I understand the the current vogue among "celebs" is the "knee-job" (Cosmetic surgery, before you think smutty thoughts...)

    Hi Aperitif - I think it's a lifelong attempt at getting the last word in! I had an older brother you see, and I had to give better than I got, but it has tended to make me a bit of a conversation-stopper. Tell me when I'm spoiling it for you! I love your nonsense :o) methodical and sensible eh, I'll need to work on that...

    Knee-jobs, so is this liposuction or some other kind?

    Not spoiling it at all -- so long as you don't mind my nonsense I'm happy!

    Lift and tuck above the knees I believe (I saw something about Victoria Beckham on the front of a magazine. I get all of my celeb gossip from the front of magazines when I'm buying my Radio Times...) Btw, this may be silly but it is not my nonsense.

    Eiffel Tower?

    Well, I admit, they've managed to put up the scaffolding, but after a century, do you think the builders might actually start on the tower? Perhaps they should get a few Polish builders in.
