They're awful mate.

I suggest you get a courier to deliver all of your fly tying stuff to me instantly so I don' have to look at any more from you.

for the length of time you have been tying you make me sick, in the nicest way possible.

I am still struggling to get the same patterns i started with this time last year right, and you are turning out first attempts like these. Good work!
