Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Sorry, their size took me by surprise as well. I keep forgetting how great my new camera is, and that's actually only the second smallest size! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then fuck off out of my country!) - 20 Being disgusted - interpret as you wish - 10 (Carlsberg don't do cider, oh wait, yes they do, and it tastes disgusting) a home-made mask - 40 Time for the old, switcharoo - 20 Something that weighs exactly 80 grams / 8 ounces (this ok? not so sure about the ounces...) - 10 (this should be more than 10 points) Looks like an ordinary children's book...

jayseven Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Carlsberg are doing cider?! madness. What does it cost to do homebrew cider in the uk? Is it ACTUALLY cheaper than buying cheap/strong cider? Points updated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Carlsberg are doing cider?! madness. What does it cost to do homebrew cider in the uk? Is it ACTUALLY cheaper than buying cheap/strong cider? Points updated! Well we have an orchard so all of the apples and damsons are grown by us, ergo free. So the only thing we have to buy is the yeast and sugar and stuff. No idea how much it would cost if you bought the fruit. I think it would be cheaper, but not by a lot. Of course it will be a much better quality, so if you compare it to decent cider such as Westons then I imagine you would make a fair saving.

It's not horrible, but it's just the same as all of the other high street ciders (i.e. more like an alcopop than cider). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Depends on what you define as decent cider. I like it, so to me it's decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in the shot must be a mirror which shows the camera taking the main picture (the one you're submitting) is not being held by another person, This one confuses me too much. Initially I thought it was meant to be a camera that wasn't being held by anyone, but @Shorty does nemi's picture meet the technical requirements? P.S. Deadline smedline.

bob Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Nemi do you have your username permanently written on your finger, just in case an opportunity comes up? Also, i will try Rekorderlig, although it looks like one of those words that should be a word backwards but isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) "A picture of a camera, which is taking a picture of you, where you are only approximately 50% in the shot, holding a sign into the shot with your forum name on. Also in the shot must be a mirror which shows the camera taking the main picture (the one you're submitting) is not being held by another person." Camera A is taking picture A, which is the picture being submitted. Camera B is in picture A and taking picture B. In picture B the person is 50% in the shot and holding their username. Also in picture B is a mirror showing that camera A is not being held by another person. camera A (not held by a person) ---> camera B ---> person 50% in shot with username ---> mirror (showing camera A is not held by a person) In Nemi's picture camera A and B (and thus picture A and B) is the same. While the acceptability of this may be up for debate, it does technically fulfil the other requirements ... except that camera A is being held by a person, which is not allowed. (I swear, if Nemi just snatched my third place away ... ) Edited October 1, 2012 by Dannyboy-the-Dane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 It does technically fulfill the requirements, which I realise just comes down to poor wording on my part. Ultimately I didn't want the first camera to be held by anyone, as that makes it much easier, but that's my fault, so... judge's decision Unrelated fact: Nemi's "harrowing experience", that's a building I recognise as we're currently redoing their website.

MoogleViper Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Just 2 picture this time. you with someone elses pet - 20 (my sister's) a weird landmark - 20 (the deer park in the Welbeck estate along the Robin Hood Way. I know it's not very clear but those brown and white specks are brown and white deer. More clearer images (not taken by me) are seen here[/url and [url=http://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/76/32/763266_31ecab00.jpg]here though they only show the white deer. I can upload the full size image if you want, but it's not particularly clear on that). Sub-total - 40 Total - 860 I'm a little bit annoyed with myself as there's a big oak tree in the middle of the park (some way to the left of the shot). So depending on when it ends I may go back (or nip down to the Sherwood forest and take a shot of Major Oak and bag famous landmark as well, though it seems a bit of an effort if I'm not going to overtake ReZ anyway.
