Having spent a lot of time posting for others, here's one of mine.

Too slow mechta.



BTW, I don't do monochrome - boring.

Shouldn't have answered him Ken.."null and void!"

He's gone rouge on us!
What shall we do with him?! Emergency meeting?

Nicely done Ken.

I saw your response earlier, but I seem to have a computer problem.

The Prune admininistrators simply asked me if I had access to another computer.

I can only log on to the thread if I go back about six pages, and even then I have discovered that I can post with my green light off!

Anyway, it's all yours mate.

A Pom at Australian Customs

A Pom, fresh off the plane at Sydney airport, is trying to negotiate Australian customs. Finally, when it's his turn to get his passport stamped, the customs officer starts rattling off the usual questions:
C.O. - How long do you intend to stay?

POM - 1 week.

C.O. - What is the nature of this trip?

POM - Business.

C.O. - Do you have any past criminal convictions?

POM - I didn't think we still needed to!

Thanks David....thought you had gone to that restaurant again!

I'm about to hit the hay guys, so here's a slightly unusual one for you:



Needless to say it was a project!

Night night....

Time to sort him out
Just going through the rule book now...

Section 5, Paragraph 2..."Rule 303"...and I quote...
"Any member who deviates from black or has a lack of black (remember when his were transparent! ) in their silhouettes has performed an act of Silhouette blasphemy punishable by death, preferably by stoning in a busy street in Bournemouth."

Further down....

Any member of Silhouette challenge who attempts to scare another member into thinking he has early dementia is to be stoned in a busy intersection of their choice...

Morning David

No pusher prop. I'll put up another image shortly which will give you a different perspective.

The fin shape looks very dated so I can't believe it is jet propelled.

Something from DARPA?

This may answer some questions....but there again it will probably raise some more. No its not designed by Messrs Heath and Robinson! Definitely not a DARPA project and no hint of a jet engine
