Oh I'll have a go at this challenge,
Im wondering can anyone set challenges or is it a previous winner as I notice you have only 23 posts and a Newbie, Im only asking as Im newbie here and dont know how things work around here yet :)
I think I might have a few about the place. Some of them have even got liquid left in them. Not for long, obviously :)
Dave, the winner of the previous challenge is the one who sets the next topic.

Thanks Howard Thought that may be the case, still trying to find my way a round just managed to upload 2 images to my gallery :)
Del, here are a couple of bottles - empties anyway:

I believe that this particular vehicle belongs to a Beetle restorer - he has a small workshop just off the main road by the station where many old V-dubs are seen in various states of repair from time to time.
Thought I'd bump this up a bit as it had slipped my mind too. ;)
I'm working on mine - hic!
Got one:

I shall be enjoying the Old Speckled Hen this evening. When the sun is over the yardarm, of course.
Wasn't feeling at all well this week and wasn't going to get an entry in but took this opportunist shot today and put it in as a filler - it a random shop in a stretch of tatty shop on a back street in south London

Went out to get my shot but now have to decide which one, portrait or landscape. ::)
Forgot about this comp, I saw a green bottle that someone had stuck on the top of an old Hogweed stem, is it to late to go back and add it tomorrow
You need to get the shot by midnight tonight Dave for it to be a valid entry :-\
Thanks irv, missed it now then, ah well, when we saw the bottle we laughed as it was near some bullrushes, and loooked the odd one out
Just made it - my computer's having more memory problems than I am and keeps shutting down mid-task. >:(

Is it eligible as its after the deadline it was posted 22 March 2010, 15:17:29, if so I did have chance to put one in, Irv_b said they had to be in by 12 midnight on the 21st
Dave, as long as the picture is taken before midnight on the Sunday,you have until midnight on the Monday to post it. :tup:
Oh right Jim thanks I was under the impression they had to be on the 21st :) I understand now :tup:
... so although I was a bit last minute in posting, I had actually taken it over the weekend.
