Well done Big Eejit. Great shot.

Disco dave -- did you post another shot from that same "event" a while back? I remember a dog vs stepping stones photo but it was different to this one...

 

[big eejit]

Thanks to everyone who voted for me. Good to see saucy seaside postcard humour is still appreciated!

I'd like to dedicate this win to Joleon Lescott, Everton's mighty Klingon!

I'll come up with a theme soon.

 

[Blagsta]

Oh shit, I missed the voting.

Sorry everyone.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

Doh!

Well done Big Eejit. Great shot.

Yeah congratulations Big Eejit - I love the Gormley statues

And correct Paul - i did post a photo of the same man and dog a couple of months back in the 'Big Images' thread for that month - i think it was with the dog leaping - probably a couple of seconds before this one.

Great theme though - really hard to convey humour in an image and obviously what one person thinks is amusing is not the same as the next. I actually find my first entry of mine funnier, the children at the bar - so there you go.

Hi all

Just back from Mongolia and the Inner Depths of China's "Outback", thus apologies for not voting or helping out in September. Obviously we had no Internet access and sometimes not even electricity, YET we had a fascinating time and thoroughly enjoyed the lovely people. Literally took off in a snow storm from Lanzhou in Northern China this morning to arrive here in Shanghai at the start of a typhoon. Now that's what I call a juxtaposition.

Thanks you so much to Alef for taking care of the thumbs as well as to everyone who entered and voted. Well done, big eejit. Yours would have gotten my vote as well, for what it's worth. Also, I love your theme for October.

Now ... I have +5 000 photos of the holiday, so let me get playing.

 

[wiskey]

well done Disco Dave (assuming it is your pic in Weekend?)

 

[Blagsta]

Yeah, I saw that. Well done mate.

 

[hiccup]

Which pic was it? Haven't got a paper today.

 

[wiskey]

it was yesterdays - stepping stones with the dog falling in the water.

 

[hiccup]

Ahh cool. Really liked that pic. Congratulations dd2000

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

ah! penny drops. i saw it yesterday and was certain i'd seen it but couldn't recall where. top stuff DD mate.

 

[disco_dave_2000]

hey - many thanks for your congratulations - i'm glad people like it - and it's won me a Nikon Coolpix P5000 which is nice

 

[big eejit]

Well done DD. I was gonna enter that comp too, but changed my mind as I don't have the written permission they say they require from the subjects of the pic.

errrr, neither did I - I just think it's a clause to get the Guardian out of any problems on the slim chance that anyone complained

 

[big eejit]

Arf! Did you see the letter in today's Guardian?

Re In Pictures (Oct 20). Where exactly is the humour in a small dog repeatedly falling in the water?

Barry Watchorn, Stroud, Glos

Like duh Barry!

You're an evil man Disco Dave.



Anyway, what makes him think the dog fell in "repeatedly"?

All I can say to this is that I thank my lucky stars that I have managed to escape the Comedy of Western Liberalism Gone Insane. Here I do not have to fear being thought of as a perve for taking photos of people in the street, I do not have to fear being thought of as a paedophile for taking pics of the cutest kids, I do not have to fear the rhetoric of some uptight *&^%$)# for taking a photo of something I think is funny.

I have lived and taught in several Western Democracies in my time (Aus, NZ and the UK included) and the saddest moment of my life, yet, was when about 5 years ago, friends and I (all of them married, good, mature, sane, stable, normal, average, ordinary you and me men) drove past a school in one of these countries. I commented on the good state of the rugby pitch. The three friends in the car told me to look away. When I asked why, I was told that grown men looking at school yards and terrains are "frowned upon".

Thank goodness for the social and individual freedom I have in a country perceived by most in the Democratic West as oppressive and restrictive.

And on that note of political suicide, let me go and look for some photies to enter for the October Comp

Dear Barry

Don't worry, the dog was fine and might even have enjoyed his little swim! However he was left somewhat disorientated and wandered onto a road (just out of shot) where he was hit by an oncoming lorry.

I was laughing so hard now that my photo of this is a bit out of focus!

Regards, etc.

Heehee, indeed
