magnumpti Jun 2013 5:19pm, 8 Jun 2013 71 posts	Quote Pin magnumpti This morning I took the photos at my local parkrun. I'm crap at photography but these ones have turned out alright as have the other ones I've done. I like to see the photos because I like to see myself running, I'm sure I'm not the only who is proud of their running pics. When I was uploading them I noticed that a pro photographer has done the pics in some previous weeks. That's fine, his photos are better than mine, but he has put the date, his name and a copyright sign right through the centre of each picture so if you wanted it as your profile pic on here or Fb you would have his name in the picture. Is it just me that thinks that's a bit out of order?

Good advertising for them and you can always crop off if you want, which I think is very fair of them

Simple. Just because the queue is shorter, don't use it as your old passport won't work in the machine !

Frobester Jun 2013 3:32pm, 10 Jun 2013 22,799 posts	Quote Pin Frobester The creeping use of "go do something", as opposed to "go AND do something" as a sort of "attaboy!" US-style exhortation. I've not noticed too many in the UK using "hot diggety-damn" or "waytogo" yet, though, which I suppose is something.
