For foc sake you set the rules Nick...... please see below


3. Challenge is good for a week; if it is not met after that time, the previous picture poster picks a new challenge.

Just saying! :pokefun :kiss

1. I didn't make the rules.


2. It was 20 days  after expiry of the fishing boat challenge before you asked for a new challenge. In a hurry Harry?  :lol


3. I absolved myself of all responsibility for this challenge when I started this thread  :D


4. I'm infallible, and therefore accept no blame for being lazy not resetting the challenge after 7 days   :b


5. I couldn't quite believe no one was capable of completing the challenge I set.


6. Done the latest challenge yet?  :rollin

I don't know what the next challenge is, you've not followed your rule number 5 :book :pokefun :deal   :lol


5. Keep comments to a minimum; if you comment, post the current challenge in bold type after your comment.

Should read----- Iam looking at what shots I already have to trick everyone that I have just done the challenge

So the photo was taken BEFORE the challenge was issued, rules state the pic has to be taken AFTER the challenge is issued (me lud )  :deal

Should be banned from 5 future challenges

( I am sill crying from having the woman statue one stolen from me my someone getting up at 6am )

IMO we should do with Red what they have done with Rossi  :eek

So I am afraid the challenge is still unchallenged  :lol   
 
Your Fazer with trees in autumn colours.

Fresh off the press this morning!


This is the entrance to the famed Norton Priory walled garden which is part of the abbey complex dating back to the 12th century, apparently containing the most important monastic remains in Cheshire ( info courtesy of wikipedia...)


I wanted a wider shot but some bloke walking his dog was loitering to the left of the pic and after waiting for a bit I got the impression he thought he was stopping some organized crime and wouldn't budge.  His dog assumed the "I'm about to vacate my bowels" pose seconds before this was taken so I zoomed it in..  In hindsight it might have been better with it!

Lets keep it festive, Your bike with something Haloweeny in the background.  Spooky!


And please, a self carved turnip balancing on your petrol tank won't be good enough.

Would you collaborate why not? You have said Halloweeny in the background  found a neighbour with scary carved pumpkins

Would you be more specific what exactly is your challenge then? Can't go more Halloween then spooky carved pumpkins.

It's just a bit dishearteningly poor, looks like four rotting pumpkins by the roadside. I guess it ticks the boxes.

That is the best I can do here. I live in Bracknell. We are so poor here people from the church would run over animals in front of my house to help with food  :eek

If that is really fine with you Next challenge will be your bike with bonfire or people dressed in Halloween costumes.

This way we can have some really fancy festive photos. Not from me though  :lol

You've obviously not been to Barnsley!
Treat everything in life the way a dog would- if you can't eat it or foc it, forget it.
