Very, very nice James.
You lot with your unusually dyed hackles are driving me mental.
I am a poor student these days and the Mrs would kill me if I bought all of these lovely colours.

Pretty neat tying if those are the best of a bad bunch it doesn't leave much hope for the rest of us
I may have to dye up some deer hair as I have done stuff in picric but no hair.I still haven't managed to blow myself up yet mind you for all the explosive experts mind you it is my job
