Selfie Weekend

[Black Pearl]

How about a bit of fun for the weekend. 

Take a selfie doing whatever you're doing over the next two days and post it here. Can be serious, fun or plain daft. Use a proper camera, a compact or your phone. 

The more people who do this the more fun it will be.......

A Duck Billed Ronopus..

Cooking this for dinner tonight.

[Brian]

Took a while to work your one out, Ron. Very good.

 

Mine didn't work as well as I'd hoped. But I enjoyed the doing of it.

Excellent idea for a bit of fun BP, and 2 perfik images to start us off 

[Black Pearl]

Absolutely brilliant!

[Kobione]

Great start to a fun thread - I'll try for one tomorrow.

I tell you what, Ron. That's our drive and it's bloody steep. I was puffing like a loco by the last picture.

[FUJI]

Good God Ron.....I thought you had chopped the ends off two fingers.....?

Brian.......I knew that you lived in a one horse town, but that is ruddy ridiculous ?

Excellent!

[Black Pearl]

Popped along to Seaton Deleval Hall today - seemed as good a spot as any to take a selfie...

I did try to smile and no I never take offence 

[CanonChrissy]

I have a turned down mouth and look so miserable always! My selfie will come soon.....

[Kobione]

Had to go out for a tank of water so tried the selfie one while in the car - not very flattering, thank goodness this is just for fun!!

Took me at least a dozen to get it;

 

[Guest Ron]

That's lovely Dee, we don't know half do we. If you told people here that they now have to go and collect their water by the tank, most would die of shock.

[Phil]

As I'm at work I thought I'd let you all in to the nerve centre, I'd be hung, drawn and quartered if my superiors knew I was doing this so I would appreciate your discretion.

Very few members of the general public get to see this but, the buttons I'm pointing to are what controls access to the site, my barrier buttons. Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, they are the Q500+ models which come with printed directional arrows as standard. They'll not catch me rising prematurely!

Are those like the buttons used to fire a nuclear missile? Three keys, a sixteen-digit code, two passwords, a secret sign and permission from the Prime Minister required before you press?

I didn't realise that you have the Q500+ installed. It was a massive upgrade to the Q450 and I remember the barrier world being stunned when it was released.

Ron, our house supply - two 5000 gallon tanks is fine, but we can't use our dam water for anything in what's left of the garden - too minerally and too salty, because we haven't had rain to top it up, so we get a couple of 1000 litre tanks each week to just keep a few things going, and keep a supply in the garden tank.

[CanonChrissy]

OK.......here's me. Work done feet up watching TV and having wine......

Awww, c'mon, you know I'd have to shoot you if I were to divulge....

Oh, go on then. Pretty much the same, although the PM has requested that we go via his first secretary due to the number of calls he was receiving each day.
The Q450 were indeed very poor, at least a 2 second delay, and not a single remote control in sight!

[Korky]

Don't be too hard on the Q450 - there was a time when its technology was right at the forefront. The two second delay was a drawback I can't deny that, but the 2.5mm flange pins and the Bradshaw & Wellington split shunter drive-box more than made up for the time lag.

Nice to find a barrier soulmate on the forum.

Ah the Q5000 telemecanique variable speed AC drive 

now schnieder what would we do without the germans 

Q450? not heard of those 

[Guest Ron]

Well just 7 of us over the weekend, not bad I guess but hoped there would have been more, as I,m sure BP did.

I know a lot of people don't like selfies and I,m not that keen to be honest but any daft thing would have done.

Maybe another one in the future BP.

I did think we'd get a bit more participation but it was fun none the less and a big thank you to all that joined in.

I'll have a think about subject/theme and start another weekend thread in a few weeks.
