     Please explain what you're referring to. I was talking about a   
   passport photo which Micky took and the ways he has to get it where he   
   wants it to go. No 'Big Brother' involved, unless he chooses to.   
      
     And yes, I noted the smiley, but a smiley without proper context is   
   just that, a smiley.
