Aaagh Monday mornings, hate them! And I got all excited when I received an email from national lottery telling me to check my account after doing the euromillions online the other day, the email said I had won!
So I logged in to discover yes I had won 8 euro. Cost of ticket was 7 euro. You know they could maybe change the wording of those emails to something like "don't bother logging in coz ya won bugger all so we dont want to get your hopes up". Something like that would work better!
The gits!

Picture of one of the badgers visiting. One of the adults died on the road, this is either the other adult or one of the two now grown young.
They seem to like ham.

Yup! Don't know about you, but I'm feeling oldish these days.:D Thankfully I was computer/tech literate from a young age so I get to shake it up with the young folk.:D But my movie taste tends to still rely on the not so near past.:eek:

Speaking of computer literate, I've just remembered a funny story that Ms G told me a few weeks ago. It was funny to me and her, but probably normal enough these days. She started back at school and they had their first IT class. They are all sitting in front of desktop PC's. Blah, blah, blah says the teacher about lesson number one. How to switch it on. Easy enough. Once it's on and they are told to click this and click that (setting up Google classroom) Ms G noticed that the girl next to her was tapping the computer monitor expecting a result. She points at the mouse and explains that's how you do it. That kid just never sat in front of an actual computer. A laptop may freak her out altogether. :eek: Smart phones and tablets are great, but I believe they instill a false sense that your kid is tech savy.

Back to Tremors.:D

Microsoft Paint (formerly Paintbrush, not to be confused with the Mac OS X application, Paintbrush) is a simple raster graphics editor that has been included with all versions of Microsoft Windows.

IamMetaldave

Auto, Onshuh, imagine a chinese whispers and every other person reads the description of the previous picture and paints based on the words used to describe how the person sees the image.

What? Purple octopus? No, that's not a euphemism. 'Inspired' is.

Can someone actually explain exactly how this paint works? I is confused.
Like if you have to wait for each picture to be painted before you can paint the next, then surely you would be celebrating Christmas by then?
Can someone do a quick Boards MS Paint for Dummies please?

Trust me you don't want to know Leggie. You really don't want to know.:eek: Don't even PM me as that means I'll keep the house up and Mrs G will take out her gun to kill the bitch.....(ends with an S.) This is a nice spot, but there are weirdos about the place.:eek:

I've done Tremors and I'm moving onto "Stan and Ollie". Looking forward to this one as I'm a massive Laurel and Hardy fan. Couch and living room to myself.

Ok so the game runner chooses a starting picture. Let's say a funky rainbow with a duck flying over it. He/she sends that to the first 'describer' by PM. The describer has to .. well.. describe it, in ten words and send back to the game runner. So they might say "a bright rainbow, clouds, flying duck..blah blah". The first 'painter' receives this description by pm from the game runner and has to paint it. So they do their best job at painting but inevitably the next describer, upon receiving the painting by pm from the game runner, misinterprets pieces of the composition or highlights the wrong bit or whatever and might describe something like "strips of colourful ribbon, flying dog, angry clouds". Maybe that ends up looking like a pride flag to the next describer and the following painter includes a parade and before you know it we're at the final painting and it looks nothing like the original.

Each painter and describer only sees what came directly before them. No one but the first describer knows the starting picture and it's not until the reveal thread that we all see the full chain of pictures and descriptions.

It can take a while with describes usually being super fast and painters taking one or two days on average each but sometimes a little more.

I don't know if I've explained this well at all but yeah it's chinese whispers with pictures and it's hysterical for some reason!
