Wbmt?

I updated my weblog, for the first time in at least two months... and nearly ran out of stuff to say. :(

I entered a competition run by a local bank. Didn't win or place, but hey, it's always worth a try and you never know.

Now there were some very good entries, but  . . .

Have a look at this http://www.whyilovefrance.com/ - hit the 'click to see the winners' text. But make sure you are sitting down first. And you don't have a cup of coffee close to your mouth that you might choke on or spit onto the keyboard/screen with the shock.

The first one was quite appealing in a cutesy way but the other 2 are awful, dont see the relevance to france in the 3rd one.

It was always going to be a lottery . .  ;D

Simple

It clearly shows that any competition is as good as the judges. It certainly bemused me.

OK, this may not strike an amusing chord with some but...

Today saw the Brighton and Hove Estate Agents Association run a 10k marathon to raise money.
After standing around what i thought was the finish line (or route according to the signs) i struggled to get any pictures.

Lack of Estate Agents or Lack of Charity towards Estate Agents?

Any one in the vicinity please feel free to put me right!

A letter in the local paper from someone bemused. The council in Corby a few miles up the road from here have sorted out the insurance needed to allow pedalos to once more be available on the town's boating lake. They also need to make sure the extra activity and boating won't have a detrimental effect on and disturb the wildlife, the swans, cygnets and ducks etc. ...that done, to celebrate, they'll have a large firework display at the lake......which will presumably scatter all the wildlife........ :o

Having just bought a house all I can suggest is that it was to keep them fit enough to runaway from vendors and and vendees! I'd have thought they got enough exercise pushing their luck!  :legit:

@ Howard - was the competition one of these things where anyone with an e-mail address can vote ? I entered a couple of comps run by Pixum.de but soon realised that the winners either had a trillion freebee mail addis or lots of relatives. After a completely out of focus picture of a Jack Russel won, I think the theme was Autumn, I gave up  :legit:
Joined DCM/CC/flickr instead :) I don't win here either, but at least the competition is excellent  ;)

It wasn't a public vote thing - The judges were three bank employees. Judging by the winners I say they were the part time cleaner, one of the computers and the office cat.

Whoever it was, they were certainly taking the p!@s. Judging by the first photo/video, maybe it was a competition for who can do the worst photoshop work!

Great laugh H - your`s must have been really bad to get beaten by those  ;) :D

Amazing isn`t it why did they bother? 1,2 and 3 all appalling. I mean did 1 take all elements of theirs?

Absolutely right jinky, I really need to pull my socks up and no mistale  :D
