The PM lines have now opened for Category 5: Best Profile Photo. Please PM me with up to ten votes, as to who you think has got the best profile photo(s). Remember to rank your nominees if you're voting for more than one person; 1 being the highest and 10 being the lowest, so I knows how many points to give them. The person for whom you give 1st place to will get 10 points, regardless of how many other people you vote for. Remember you cannot vote for yourself.

I will publish the league table periodically in this thread to give everyone an idea who is winning and whereabouts they are in the table.

Please stick with the same profile photo during this week to allow for fair voting, and please only vote for present profile photos, and not ones used in the past.

To view a list of members with profile photos:

1. Click on 'Members' at the top of the page
2. Click on the 'Toggle More Options' button (which can be found on the bottom right of the list of members)
3. On the left, tick the box which says 'Members with a photo only?'
4. To make is easier, have 50 results per page

The PM lines will close on Sunday 22nd July at 2130 BST, which is when I will announce the winner of the category and post the final league table after a weeks worth of voting. In addition, the PM lines will open for the next category (Best Profile).

My computer clock was accurate... until now...

Man, i love Car Expert's. Those are some cool penguins. *hopes they ARE actually penguins*

Skylark took mine ( on my 60th birthday last March) , so you could vote for me and support two of us in one go !

I've just checked mine...was tempted to scan in a picture 30+ years older, but my parents have most of them. The pub it was taken in was frequented by Cecil Sharp - he collected Folk Songs there. There's a plaque on the way back to the bar from the toilets that tells you all about it. They do a mean Sunday Lunch and keep the Beer well.

PM me and I'll give you details for the pub (its near Wells, Somerset).

VOTE FOR ME!!!!

Only 4 lots of votes have been received so far, so it's a bit too early to be posting a league table. I'll post the first one tomorrow

Car Expert

My number 1 vote goes to noodle's cat because he looks very much like one of mine.
I'm up to 5 cats at the moment.
I did have 3 - went up to 5 with 2 abandoned kittens, am now down to 4 - one kitten homed.

I'd put their picture on my profile but I don't know how to do it.

Can I drop out? My photo now is different to that one, and that one is downstairs, and I don't like it anyway, and I'll probably never use it....

I'll ask the person who gave you votes to say which photo they were referring to

Car Expert

Blumming 'eck! I don't want to cause a fuss!

Look at mine please! It's not very good though Lol

YAY I HAVE A VOTE!!! YAY

NOW: EVERYONE ELSE VOTE FOR ME!!!! not that I'm at all competitive...

Now all I have to do is find a day on which there is nothing to do...aside from music practice...and then I can browse the billion profiles on here and decide on who wins my vote, though it should be me...only I can't vote for myself!
