Just so happens I have a flickr set specifically for reflections... Not sure if this gives a unfair advantage or not because it all comes down to what people like the look of best (i.e. personal taste), and there are some cracking shots entered, but I might withdraw mine just to be on the safe side ...

Have quite a lot to choose from, but can't be bothered going through them, so might just use this one.

Original was too big!
Here's a smaller one.

Congrats Toby, nice one.

Was going to use this (2 TDF champions in the same shot in the Olympic road race is quite exciting), but I've been beaten to it with the sports theme...

Stop off at Adinkerke, pop in to Real Tabac XL, gorge yourself on free chocolate samples, buy some beer and get a couple of boxes of chocs thrown in for free. Just make sure they're not the advocate cup things - they're disgusting! If you have standards, then next cheapest place is the supermarket, ...

Taking the OP's points in order: 1. Yes, but in the days before F1 fans were treated like cattle. The atmosphere was better back in the day. Just out of interest, when was 'back in the day'? For me, back in the day was the late 70s/early 80s when I was still at school. F1 fans who attended Grands P...

* I have a Marc Gené BMW Williams cap that I sometimes wear while gardening. * Also got a Jaguar cap which I was given when I did the tour of the F1 factory - just after the Red Bull buyout was announced. * Haven't been to a race since the Silverstone rain/muddy car park fiasco (not the most recent ...

I know there are some pretty strange people in Bristol, but how many actual aliens did they expect find?

Hi guys, I'm doing Sports Mgmt degree and I have to write 9k words on a dissertation of my choice (related to sport). So I was wondering if you guys have suggestion on what exactly this can be. The dissertation should be research-based (as I have to interview people through survey for example) so i...

Worried I am not - of no concern it is to me.

I've spent today basically injuring myself at work. Had two demos of what are essentially fireworks go off in my face (this specifically: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWMATrOatRw), stabbed myself in the hand by accident with a surgical scalpel, and faceplanted walking up some steps. Tomorrow I've...

Christian Horner is one of the best team principals not only on the grid today, but arguably will go down as a legend of the sport when we look back on the current era. People are often dismissive of him, putting Red Bull's success down to Newey and Vettel and think that Horner is just a pen pusher...

Damn - I was going to use a picture of a horse doing that! The horse isn't actually smiling, mind you. It's using the Flehmen Response to better be able to smell, analyse and process a scent. I wasn't intending using that in the competition, it just makes me laugh. Bunny (the horse) can be a bit of...

The results are in! We reckon you're

That's somewhere around Nottingham.

Haven't lived there for a very, very long time, but 100% accurate - very spooky.

Damn! (in a nice way :) ) I wasn't expecting this, sorry about the theme, it just popped into my head. Thanks for the votes though. Anyway, this is what makes me happy: http://farm2.staticflickr.com/1255/668498757_30ba258f9e_z.jpg This makes me laugh - think the horse was happy, but who know! http:/...

Brand new to serious photography, I've become interested in it as I have taken it as a subject in my final year of school. I've went for it and bought a Canon 600d with the twin lens kit. I felt I needed the 75-300mm lens due to natural world being my theme for my folio though since buying it (have...

This is more like it, but can we all still win if we get the voting right?

The thought of all those 'old' members typing away at their 486's with dial-up modems, make me feel quite young. :D I never bothered about internet forum stuff until 2007 spygate (didn't even cross my mind to look), but then I wanted more info about what was going on, so eventually found this place....

But if I vote for SDLRob and he votes for me, who wins?

Nice interpretation - you seem to have scared off all the competition though!

It seems to me that the majority of Red Bull fans are Vettel's fans, so the answer would be probably not in either case. Given the youth of the team and everything that's happened between the two drivers/the team's relative treatment of them, I genuinely find it very hard to believe that there's a ...

Well deserved winner, well done Haz.

Not in to knitting or dress making, so I'll have to see what other patterns I can come up with, after my holiday.

Interesting question, reminds me how we statistics students used to get joked about by mechanics students for taking the easy option! Did you know that you're 87% more likely to believe a statistic if it's an odd number, even though 63.9% of statistics are made up. Also, when Everest was first surv...

For me at least, fags are still something you smoke, and faggots are always smothered in gravy - sometimes followed by spotted dick.

*caution*
I would not recommend having a fag in bed after faggots and spotted dick; falling asleep while having a fag could be very dangerous.

One thing that seemingly has been missed or ignored in many of these posts is that of course the money is important, but one can actually love the racing, the competition, AND want to be paid what he is worth... ON TIME even. Doesn't that also extend to the people running the team? If Lux and Lopez...

That thing look brilliant, and well done, but my god does it look scary! Art was never a strong point for me, I even avoid decorating - the wife took complete charge of that after the lounge incident... Is that James from Thomas the Tank Engine?

Did this a few years back for a friend's, daughter's birthday party.

The only thing I had to buy was some hardboard, paint, and polystyrene. The rest was just bits and bobs - plus a barrel I liberated from the farmer.

** Not an Entry ** Out walking the coastal section of the North Downs Way on Saturday and came across this lovely lady - not at all what you'd expect to see. This is overlooking the Euro Tunnel terminal at Cheriton / Folkstone. If you're ever down that way, it's a very interesting walk, lots of old ...

Is that an un-processed [beyond what the camera does automatically] photo, spec? Awesome effect if so! No post trickery here, simply a long exposure. I used as small an aperture as possible but it still wasn't enough so I put a polarising filter in front of the lens which just gave me enough to mak...

If Felipe Nasr gets into F1 (which would be pretty cool) and Massa gets a drive next year also, commentators are going to have a bad time. It was bad enough with Brundle and Blundell. OK, so which of them said this: “Maybe those waved yellow flags should have been stagnant yellow flags.” Or “He’s g...

Jimbox.... To suggest that this Lotus team is in anyway shape or form the great Lotus teams of Chapman, is just wrong in my opinion. The idea that you can buy a legendary F1 name and suggest that their history is yours as this "lotus" team has suggested... ie # of wins, is wrong on so many fronts.....

What I'd really like to know though, is who's driving this boo bus, and how long it took to drive from Monza to Singapore. As far as I can work out, they must have gone through Eastern Europe, across Turkey, then Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Himalayas, and the down through Indochina - anyone wh...
