dubai_phil Posted 12 June, 2010 Share Posted 12 June, 2010 Once upon a time our local supermarket had a great competition which was to take a photo of a Spinneys Carrier Bag in a weird location while on holiday. Which made me think we could do this, many of us Sad Sickos are away on holiday soon so here's what to do. Take a picture of your Iphone/laptop (or for the technically challenged a print out) of a page from the Poopey Takeover thread in a weird location. So you need to have a landmark in the photo. Technically challenging stupidly banal but surely possible... Expats - yes you can enter, some will be funneh but No you can't win with a picture in your own residence country - gotta be on Vacation to show how sad we all are. For those interested the Spinneys bag became massive the eventual runner up was in that "Lost Village" in Peru. The winner was a picture taken at The South Pole. It can be done!

hamster Posted 13 June, 2010 Share Posted 13 June, 2010 .... away on holiday soon so here's what to do. So you need to have a landmark in the photo. you can't win with a picture in your own country Oh that's nice dp. Exlude all of us who prefer to spend our hard-earned in the country where it was printed and not dish it out willy-nilly to Johnny Foreigner. btw, your carrier bag ramblings should (by law) carry a "don't be a silly **** and put this bag over your head - may cause death" warning I think. Anyawy, good luck with your silly little game, not as good an idea as the WC 2010 prediction league imho. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW5 SAINT Posted 14 June, 2010 Share Posted 14 June, 2010 If your on Ventura I know of a whole party of Poopey fans who will be onboard. Got their request for a boat transfer( rather than travel through Southampton) from Spithead turned down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that it was holiday time and I know Uberfans never leave Southampton and all that. Didn't mean to cause upset. But then you stand feck all chance of winning up against say a pic of the Thread from a stag do in Lithuania or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the silly picture thread entires will include a "Celeb with The Thread" section (But no, that doesn't allow photoshops and no, a picture of a Saint with it won't count, must be an "independent celeb" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
