Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened
but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace,
like a clock during a thunderstorm.

I hope that I never become famous and someone trawls my contributions on this site looking for the odd post which may be offensive.

Why is it that the smokiest boats have untidy rooves? A smokescreen to disguise the crap?

Stop flapping about, breath deeply, relax, enjoy the anarchy, post a pic NOW , whatever you are doing, TapaTalk is your friend. You will feel better once you let go. The pics don't even have to be the right way up.

"It started on your post. This is what happens when there are no rules, the world begins to fray." - I rest my case, as to the reason why there are rules for the Photo Competition.

Fuzzy logic dictates that a frayed world is a wonderful thing. Some of the shots on here are stunning, why don't you ask for them to be entered in your competition? You need the numbers.

You need the numbers.

Not really, the competition will run if there are 15 or more entries, less than that and it won't run. I've gone to the trouble for the benefit of others. However, if my offer gets thrown back in my face by the majority of TB members, then the old adage 'several times bitten, several times shy' drops into place.
Another adage 'hope springs eternal' comes to mind, and there are still 2 weeks for 10 entries to be offered. Pictures of foxes dressed as Adolf Hitler (yes, you know who you are!) do not come under the theme of 'waterways and boating'.

Foxy seems to be taking umbrage at this thread .... It was not started as a dig at the two different competitions .... this is for photos that aren't being entered in competitions but are put up hoping that other members will a) like them and b) put up their own snaps purely for fun ....no winners no losers no whiners.

No, not at all. it's the Remoaner having another moan, so I'm just having a moan back. Here's a pic I like:
