:idea: But before I go any further, it would be useful to know if anyone is up for another game? It won't involve the lenght of time as the masked ball (or the imagination), but it will involve guesses and photos?
:rolleyes: Up for it?

Now that I have learnt how to do photos I am up for it too - just got to learn how to guess now!!:smartie:

ok, well positive feedback so I'll proceed.

I want you to take photos of your bookcases and PM them to me.
No tidying them up, no added things that aren't usually there, just remove any family photos that would give your identity away and snap! :photo:
I'll post them in a new thread and you all have to guess which book case belongs to which SO member taking part. I suppose it's a bit of "who lives in a house like this"
I was inspired by Flyo's grolsch tower and Cats room with no name. Looking at mine tonight there is no way it looks as if I have any connection to it's contents, but on closer examination - yeah it's me!

I'll play if I can work out how to PM a picture - can't be rocket science though so I shall get onto it.

When is the deadline for pics?

I actually don't have a proper bookcase :cry:
I just keep all my books strewn about the house in various piles.


I suppose i could post a picture of my piles :bag:

I'll give it a go, and this is my house bookshelf not my, already famous, uni room bookshelf.

(Can you imagine if this was full of Grolsch bottles too!?)

You lot! I've received several enteries already and all I can say is, you're a bloody tidy lot or the feather dusters have been out!
great though! Love em
Can a mod please pin this so everyone can see it?
I'll decide a deadline for enteries, any suggestions? This Friday do?

Does it have to be close enough to read the book titles, i.e. to give us something to go on - or do we just imagine who would have a bookcase like that :)

Yes please critique, that would help. I've already had to PM a few folk back to tell them to zoom in!
I've no objecton to distant poses of your bookcase in their towering shiny glory, but a close up too and I'll post them along side each other, so all that dusting won't have been for nothing! :photo:

You could always re-arrange the books and move the bookshelf for photo purposes to fool us!!:p

No, it would be the same as always...I go to a lot of effort, try my best and get guessed at the first hurdle.

I am just too obvious.

PS How does one develop some mystique???

Bob this is a brilliant idea.

Unfortunately I haven't got a digital camera yet, and I know I've run out of film (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it). :)

No I own't give up - why don't you move your books to another surface and pretend it is a book shelf ... or a windowsill.

How do you PM a photo? :unsure:

Ceri - when you reply to a thread you get all the icons above. When you pm you get the same icons, there is a little icon that loks like a postcard with two mountains on it - so when you pm click on that, you will get a little box that asks you for the URL number. If you have your photo in a URL format [I use photobucket] then just copy and paste the number into the little box that asks for it - and then just send.

Yep, you're right. But the urgent need disappeared until now of course, so I never actually bought one.

Go borrow - lady!!

With that sweet smile and winning charm, you could easily borrow one for 10 mins - that is all it takes - go on you know you want to. Has Coastie got a digi camera?? I know she is in Eygpt - but she will be back soon - and you and her could meet for a few photies!!

Ok peeps feed back time please!

I was going to make the deadline for entries tomorrow and start the game on Saturday finishing Monday night.

oooo goody - can we extend the finishing time Bob though - I think some people only come on during the week whilst at work or when they have access to a pc.

Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday??

What do others think?
