      For the record, Woo's resignation has been rejected without a moment's thought needed. Besides anything else, he makes a mean cup of tea in the GC office, and he always remembers the Jammy Dodgers. I for one am also glad that he is continuing with the photo comps, not least as it took me bloomin' ages to work out how to get the winners photo on the homepage :biggrin:

      @Sheal - fair enough sitting this one out as you don't agree with the interpretation of the theme, but no reason to sit out of any of the rest. @Jack McHammocklashing - get yer photie back up! :snork:

      Now, it is nearly Christmas, and I am sure that everyone is feeling that same fraught, frazzled way whilst quietly wishing for everything to stop so we can all have a rest. Let's not go falling out over a photo comp, eh? Life is too short, and even if I do say so myself we have a pretty good wee gang going here on GC where everyone gets on for the vast majority of the time. Be a shame to spoil it.....

          Well, I for one will miss your contributions. You always give an interesting interpretation, with a good eye!

                I too sometimes struggle with entries here, but I will try to participate more if I can.

                With the work you put in Woo, you didn't need this. Let's start afresh in the New Year.:smile:

                  Some subjects are hard to meet, like if you live in Birmingham a picture of a seascape, or if you live in Portsmouth a picture of rolling hills, but at least put some effort in to Woo's competition and try to meet the theme, or do not post rather than diss those that tried, If no one tried the competition/fun would end

                    Well, the January competition is here so we need to put our thinking hats on. The topic is Serenity and Solitude.

                    A couple of quotes that probably won't help you at all! :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                    Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill because they pissed me off! :th scifD36:

                    For oft, when on my couch I lie
                    In vacant or in pensive mood,
                    They flash upon that inward eye
                    Which is the bliss of solitude;
                    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
                    And dances with the daffodils. :)
