“Dear Captain Quirke, I need to formally complain about your selection criteria of “Blog-Pics” on your site. …….I mean what was that – “a frigging extra- extra – wide lens” you were using? Like is that equivalent to a “ 4 XXXX”!!!?? I look like a bloody kiwi shearer!! Now if you are ever to holiday with me again in the Marlborough Sounds, I suggest you remove that hideous picture of me and select a much kinder one – perhaps you could replace it with the attached – which will outline how happy I was on my last working day from the Emergency Department after 11years service ….. As a victim of your un-expecting, un-forgiving lens, please give this some serious consideration, so your friends in the UK will get a much better idea of your wife’s new work partner/friend and trusty and loyal, very deserving of just one nice picture of me on your blog future sounds holiday girl. Regards Lisa “
