  1. Thanks once again Koenigsegg. I ask for people who read this to really not give Koen a hard time. He doesn't deserve it. Respect him and the rules, and any changes he wishes to make. These things shouldn't be so hard. I'm off in 15 minutes for my driving test, and after today I hope not to return to TDUC.
  2. Rules Bird Pictures! No Voting For Yourself! Koenigsegg HTF Speed http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll237/SpeedFreakLightning/SDC11212copy-1.jpg I personally don't really care that there are only 3 entrants, because this is my last week. But I do think that people are being too lazy (me included) and not using this as a creative project. The idea of this is taking photos to a theme, and not fishing around in your archives to find something that fits - which is just terrible. Koenigsegg will (hopefully) be taking over, so please don't give him a hard time.
  3. BREAKING NEWS!!!! Michael Jackson dies.
  4. I see it as a lot more childish to not leave your name. I have self respect which stops me from responding with neg rep, or responding at all. It's the internet - not like loosing a best friend.
  5. When Farrah Fawcett died, god granted her one wish. She wished for all the children in the world to be safe.
  6. I am one for the jokes - it is good to laugh about things in life. What I am not for though is mourning the death of a person you never knew. I see it fine for family and friends to be sad over the sudden loss of someone close (I lost my grandmother suddenly just under two months ago) - however you simply have to get over it. I'm not a religious person, so I see that after death, that's it. They aren't coming back, and if you never knew them in the first place, what exactly have you lost? In Jackson's case - you cannot say 'a musical legend'. That Michael Jackson died a very long time ago. They say it is good to die young, rich and famous. He died old, very poor and famous for all the wrong reasons.
  7. Here's something you won't hear often. You look like a younger, more intelligent and cuter Mb.
  8. ^ That was from the magazine. The TV test will be Richard and the Stig only. Not sure whether all the cars will be there though.
  9. A new advert I just captured and uploaded: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVCUXnk3SSo
  10. Or download them off Finalgear usually about half an hour after it finishes airing. *Shameless plug*
  11. As a side note - if uploading to Flickr, please either a) give a link to the page the photo is on or b) don't. Thanks. As another side note - I feel like shooting myself right now.
  12. No makes sense this. I have had a total of 10 lessons so far (1 hour each) plus practice every week in my parents' car, and will be taking my test in a few weeks (1st July). My instructor does say I've picked everything up quickly, but my mind cannot comprehend a year. You say you have your own car, and use it regularly, and have lessons, but have still taken a year of learning. And you haven't taken your theory because of not having the time? I took an afternoon off school to go and do mine, because the nearest theory centre is 30 miles away. And as for the cost - you couldn't afford it, but you can afford lessons, which cost more than half the cost of the theory each.
  13. I'm sorry. The theory is not a big deal. And A YEAR?!? What were you doing? Get the easy theory over and done with (I did mine after a month or two), so then you are free to do the practical whenever you are ready. Good going and all that, it would really suck to fail, and the taunting wouldn't end. And still - I cannot imagine how you can be a learner for more than maybe 8 months max. I'd say the average for my school (the people who I know how long they're taking) is about 6 months - I'm taking my practical after 3. Its not that hard, is it?
  14. ^ For you and I, yes. But the majority of people here probably don't know how. So I would prefer it if (a) you didn't say, and (b) you kept your self respect and didn't do it yourself.
  15. I only introduced it last week and everyone seemed to manage it then. So you can follow the rules or not take part.
  16. I must remind you of the new rules. The most important one is it being a contest of who can take the best photo of a theme. Grabbing something out of your archives is not doing that. Photos taken after the contest started only, please.
  17. And I just won't allow any stupid entries.
  18. A basic run-through I've done of what was in this month's TopGear magazine: And for those who aren't in the UK (or watch TV) - the first TV advert has been put out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yoKhOIlXhk And finally, a spoiler of what will be in the first episode: Top Gear Sunday 21 June 8:00pm - 9:00pm BBC2
  19. WEEK TWENTYFOUR Rules: Photo MUST be taken by you. Any post processing allowed. No Voting for yourself! Photo sizes kept to 800x640 and 350kb maximum. No larger photos as thumbnails, please. Your photo will not be entered if it exceeds this. Winner chooses next theme (by PMing me). If someone wins twice in a row, the person they voted for chooses the next theme. If you post many photos, the top one will be chosen as your entry, but you have until the closing date to choose. Photos cannot be used twice for two different subjects. NEW RULES Your image must have been taken after the contest has started. This is a contest to favour creativity, not who has the biggest backlog of good photos. Your photo must follow the theme. The person who chose the theme has ultimate control over whether a photo gets entered or not - there will be no arguing over whether a photo is acceptable. Congrats to Koenigsegg winning the first one back - he has chosen this as his theme: This week's theme: Birds Whether It's a Robin or a Seagull, post it up people! Closing Date: 28th June. Good luck and get shooting! We had a good number of entrants last week - keep it up! Entrants: 1) Koenigsegg 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10)
  20. Good on you for leaving Iced! I'm starting to spend less time on here too - and trying to spend even less. I just don't have a social life to distract me.
  21. Pendulum is the only good artist at the entire festival.
  22. ^ The first picture is exactly how I wanted it to look. I know what I'm doing, don't worry :p.
