Dunno why, but I'm hearing Steve Earle's "Guitar Town" even when the stereo's switched off?

LYNX should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Obviously wasn't clear enough in my PM that the person who posts the photo carrys the baton and hands over to the next winner. I only started the theme - wasn't going to police it. So will now look at reply's, count announce a winner etc. etc etc.

Just a thought, but is there no way to make the photo caption voting in the form of one of these "polls"?

Yes, Jill had enquired about this, but unfortunately, we can only put one poll up per thread, and I don't think we want to start a new thread for each photo!

Well, I think that we are past the closing date and there seem to be a very generous 4 votes for mine and no-one else! Is that because you don't want to be bothered to find any pics to put up?

Ok, here's one of a well known Ten Tenther! See what you can come up with:-

Would that matter? They would drop down off the front page pretty quickly and voting etc would be loads easier.

Guys, I really don't want to see loads of separate picture caption threads, and whilst it might make things easier for you, it would make it more time consuming for me. Just don't want to do it, sorry.
