Thanks for everything, Anita. I believe that Ming has answered for me... my well-known sense of mischief, er I mean fun at work again.

I was wondering about a variation of the quiz format. Little doubt but that (outrageous) debate will rage about some of the pix... Much amusement should be had by all.
My personal opinion is that baby photos are far less easily recognisable, and so perhaps a little unfair. However, should Julie and Tony both choose to enter puppy pix of Morgan and Barney that would probably add an extra dimension to the challenge.
Am looking forward to this.

I wonder if it's natural, but I'm quite excited about this game!

Manchester Terrier, Brookstream Captain Morgan, yes, Julie. But I don't remember ever seeing a picture of Tony's Barney as a puppy.....

Re: Name the Forumite
I've now got 9 "young rascal" photos and it would be good to have a few more. If people could try to send them to me by Tuesday, I'll post them in this thread next Wednesday (18th November) as I should have time that day to resize the pictures if necessary and upload them.

Mine should come soonish, but it depends on when my parents scan one to me, and so far they haven't, although I keep on nagging.

We can soon put that right, Barney was a dashing young fella! I don't think he is going to join the other 'young rascals' though, as he could hardly be mistaken for any other forum member - I hope!!Aurélien wrote:Manchester Terrier, Brookstream Captain Morgan, yes, Julie.

Oh Tony, What a gorgeous photo of Barney.
You've set me off crying again now. He was so handsome.

A great photo, Tony.

Re: Name the Forumite
I've now had 11 photos and would still be happy to receive more by Tuesday if possible. Please send them as JPeg images of a reasonable size (though I've reduced or enlarged some of them anyway, to make them all of a roughly uniform size).Anita Bensoussane wrote:I've now got 9 "young rascal" photos and it would be good to have a few more.

The guessing game is open to everyone but I'm sure that those who have sent in photos will be eager to play it. I was wondering what people ought to do when they get to their own photo in the line-up? If players identify their own photos, then there won't be much of a game! Perhaps people could purposely identify their own photo as someone else - unless anyone can think of a better idea? I was toying with the idea of providing a list of names of forumites who submitted photos, but to make the game more of a challenge I'm now thinking that I should probably just post the pictures, with no names to choose from.
