The Pompey Takeover Silly Holiday Photo Competition

[dubai_phil]

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!

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. ;-)

I thought it was acceptable to put a carrier bag over your head as long as you are an MP and have an orange in your mouth

Only if you're a young, free, single Conservative MP.:smt002

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!

Oh Hammie OK I'm sorry - it has to be somewhere out of country unless it is on a Barge.

 

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

Does cheating count??

Take your laptop and get him to post on it .... even better

[dubai_phil]

OK OK already.

 

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"

[RedAndWhite91]

Going to Magaluf in 12 days so may or may not do this.

I have a letter from SM (appropriate initials imho) from shortly before he succumbed to his "accident". He didn't mention anything about it in the letter
