And here's me thinking you would know at least one of the answers.:D Sounds as if it's back to the drawing board. |banghead|

[Bo Peep]

Oh, I know some of the faces and answers to a couple of the questions, but not all.

[Mutley]

I think we are all going crazy on this one. http://www.smileys4me.com/getsmiley.php?show=2831

I think I can fit the question to the moderator by looking in the profiles and past threads, maybe??|idea|
but how do I put the picture to the question:confused: and I am supposed to be good at pictures |doh|

[Bo Peep]

Mutley will always find the answers as she is doggedly determined!

I don't think so, I'll leave her hanging for a day or two.

I have picked 6 out of 7, but now I need to know who the last female mod is |biggrin| (hey, I haven't been around this joint very long ;)). I have Sue, Jan, Mike E, Mark J, Ladkyis and Neil. Who is left?

The Brit-Gen forum has a total of 15 moderators.

Good luck :D

I am so glad that I was not drinking anything when I read this... |shakehead

[Davran]

Come on then, you other moderators show yourselves! We want to know who you are. It's 'not fair' trying to find people who are hiding their lights under bushels.

[v.wells]

Pics 5 and 6 were so alike I thought they were twins! Then I had a longer look. |blush| Definitely not twins:D

[Bo Peep]

Please don't forget to PM your answers to Mike_E. Unless you really do not want to win, do not post the answers (or any more clues) on the forum.

[Pam Downes]

One photo is so obviously recognisable....well I thought so...as he is `so' good looking! ;) Now which one is that?

Glenys
As you say Glynis - so obvious.
Well, I assume you are referring to the 'handsome one' as described by himself in post one of this thread and he's definitely photo number 3. Trendy long hair. And the frilly collar must be from where he got his penchant for 'pink and silk with cute little bows'. (If you've seen another thread, you won't have to ask. And if you haven't seen the thread, then it's best not to know. :D:D )
Pam

Mary.

Ooeerrr!! Now I really must think about changing my glasses!!

I was convinced that I saw sup.mods mentioned somewhere? Are you sure that Mike isn't trying to confuse us? |oopsredfa

PamThat's the clue to the competition. Most moderators have given clues sometime during years so have a cuppa and a think, try matching the who does what first.
And if this doesn't confuse you, I still can't get them all |help|

[busyglen]

Actually, that's what I did first Neil....pour over loads of posts to see if anyone mentioned these activities. The trouble is.....there's a lot of 'em!!

I've `sort of' worked them out with the exception of two, which could go either way, but it's the photos I now can't decide on. I am sure I am going to upset someone with my decisions! |blush| Oh well...in for a penny, in for a pound!

Good luck all. :)

One thing you can be sure of Glenys, none of them are me!

I've guessed his clue (I think), but I'm a bit worried about the picture, as it's the only one I've got left. :confused:

Mind you.....it could turn out that it's you?? |banghead| :D

Pam, you of all people should be able to locate it ;)

Searching as you suggested is very quick, but only shows the most recent 1,250 posts and the thread I'm on about isn't amongst them.

[Sue Mackay]

I found it. Am now having a very Mutley like chuckle

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m212/kalos_2005/mutley.gif

OK it's cruel of me to laugh, though you'll see why when you find it. So I'll give you another clue. There might be a similar thread about me soon :D

[Pam Downes]

Searching as you suggested is very quick, but only shows the most recent 1,250 posts and the thread I'm on about isn't amongst them.
If, by quoting my name, you mean what I think you mean, I think you meant to say that the thread was last posted in at 10.01pm on 9 Aug 2005.

And as for Sue - you've got a l - o - n - g way to go to get to that number. :D

The really annoying thing is that after all that looking, that was an answer I already had. (By using logic firstly, and then by chance later finding something to confirm it - probably that thread. :D:D:D )
Pam

P.S. ooh look at me for this post!!!! What a strange coincidence. :)

[Sue Mackay]

And as for Sue - you've got a l - o - n - g way to go to get to that number. :D


I did say similar thread :D as in type not in number. And congratulations!

[Geoffers]

If, by quoting my name, you mean what I think you mean, I think you meant to say that the thread was last posted in at 10.01pm on 9 Aug 2005.

Ah yes, I wondered who would spot that deliberate mistake - can't make it too easy for you.

And as for Sue - you've got a l - o - n - g way to go to get to that number.

She'll soon catch up- she's just being kind and giving me a head start.

P.S. ooh look at me for this post!!!! What a strange coincidence.

Though of course, in a few months time no one will know what the coincidence is. So just for posterity's sake - congratulations on your 1,500th posting |hug| (Though you don't look a day over 1,499 :D).

[Pam Downes]

Ah yes, I wondered who would spot that deliberate mistake - can't make it too easy for you.
And there's me thinking that you were so nice. '(Won't get fooled again' as the song goes.:) )


Though of course, in a few months time no one will know what the coincidence is. So just for posterity's sake - congratulations on your 1,500th posting |hug| (Though you don't look a day over 1,499 :D).

Thank you. And to Sue too. I daren't reply to Sue's post because I would have lost the magic number and therefore the connection between all the recent posts, and I hoped that by leaving it there other people might get the clue.
And if I'm very quick I might catch you (Geoffers) on your next thousand. I usually spot you lurking on something like -869 and when I look two days later you've whizzed round to not only the next thousand but another 256 posts as well. :D
Though in the meantime we have to watch out for Sue. :)

Well I got Jan completely wrong as I found out on Friday, but you were definitely photo number two Geoffers. You still might not be able to recognise yourself in the mirror though - that photo was taken last century so you've aged a bit since then. :D
I know that as well as being exceptionally busy Mike was having internet problems at the end of last week. Forgot to ask him on Sunday if he had got switched back on.
So the answers to your first two questions are 'yes', and 'we're all still waiting to find out', respectively. :) (Do I get a prize for knowing those answers?)

Yes the only one I was sure about was Geoffers, he still looked as handsome in his later avatar, which I think was deliberately missing! ;)

I'm afraid that I have got the rest disastrously wrong I think! Well one that I already know of!

[Geoffers]

you were definitely photo number two Geoffers.

Thanks, I always wondered who I was shaving in the morning.

And another one wrong |sad1|though I think I got your skill correct.
Did you ever have that photo against your name Sue, because I swear I've seen it before?
Pam

[busyglen]

Oh well, that's two I got right. I managed to get Sue M. pic. 3, but I'm not sure if the skill was right. Geoffers was the easy one.

I know I totally messed up on one of them though, with the picture....and I managed to put someone in who wasn't actually in the list of Mods!! |banghead|

All good fun! :cool:

Glenys

[Neil Wilson]

To let you know, I got them all wrong!!!

I am picture 1 or 2 depending which way you were counting!

[Jan1954]

I managed to match all the skills. :D

However, it did help that I knew what mine was... ;)

[busyglen]

To let you know, I got them all wrong!!!

I am picture 1 or 2 depending which way you were counting!

I'm a bit embarrassed actually! :o

I will now `fess up (although we haven't got the correct answers from Mike yet). I didn't think you were on the list Neil, and I thought the other one was MarkJ. I couldn't fit your picture to anyone else (although I kept telling myself that the young photo of you is a dead ringer for the one in the competition) so.....I put your photo to Mike!! Only reason was because he had a beard, but I thought the age was wrong! So apologies Neil, I should have gone with my first instinct.

Anyway, I knew I had blown it as soon as Mike gave us the names, so never mind...it was fun. Interesting to know who actually got them all right though!

Glenys

It won't be me Glen, as I chickened out in the end :o

I did reckon I was on safe ground with the picture of handsome Geoffers, but, as far as the others went, I changed my mind so often I eventually gave up. I look forward to seeing the answers.......

Best wishes

I know Ann, I nearly chickened out as well, but then I thought it's only a bit of fun, and Mike was chasing people to enter. I don't mind making a fool of myself! I usually do somewhere along the line! |laugh1|

And another one wrong |sad1|though I think I got your skill correct.
Did you ever have that photo against your name Sue, because I swear I've seen it before?
Pam

No, I've only ever had my current avatar. Indeed before Pam took over B-G and the various upgrades were made I couldn't get an avatar to load. It did appear on the Moderators' Forum when were were discussing what to do about those of us who had current photos as avatars, and is therefore in my Photobucket site. Perhaps you have managed to get in there on some occasion by following a link?

Moi? Computer dimbo. Not a chance. :)

Erm...I sort of missed entering! A sudden rush of events got in the way! Ah well. maybe next time? :D (mind you I would have been guessing and probably would have caused great bursts of laughter to echo through the air!)

I'm a bit embarrassed actually! :o

I will now `fess up (although we haven't got the correct answers from Mike yet). I didn't think you were on the list Neil, and I thought the other one was MarkJ. I couldn't fit your picture to anyone else (although I kept telling myself that the young photo of you is a dead ringer for the one in the competition) so.....I put your photo to Mike!! Only reason was because he had a beard, but I thought the age was wrong! So apologies Neil, I should have gone with my first instinct.

Anyway, I knew I had blown it as soon as Mike gave us the names, so never mind...it was fun. Interesting to know who actually got them all right though!

Glenys
Oh Glenys, Neil |hug| was the easiest one of the lot. :) I knew one of them was Neil because of the family history society link, and he wasn't either photo 2 (had to be Geoffers) or 7 (had to be Mike because of the Falklands). Still not sure of Mike's skill but I said makes Dolls Houses and furniture and 12th scale garden sheds because it seemed the most 'bloke-y' and therefore the most logical out of it, spinning wool and calligraphy.
It was the women who were the problem......... :D

PamPam come on, the Falklands one could have been me, I was there a bit after Mike though, after the bullets had stopped flying around. |jumphappy

Sorry Neil. If I knew you'd been in the Falklands, it was a fact that I had certainly forgotten. |dunce2|
Though now it's been mentioned I do have a vague recollection of two people talking about the Falklands - Military police??? - but I can't find it in a forum search.

One right then ;)

Two skills right :) because I said you were the one 'who claims to speak fairly fluent Swedish'.

Well it's easy when you know about the people isn't it....I didn't know about Mike and the Falklands! :o

Still, I put the same as you for Mike's skill, as I noticed he had `minatures' as a clue! :)

(The competition when Bo Peep asked 'I would like to know what is your most favourite memory or part of Christmas or, if you do not celebrate Christmas, a favourite special occasion'.)
Must admit that I completely missed the 'minatures' in Mike's profile. :)
Pam

[busyglen]

Ah, well there you go Pam....we both remember different things. I can't remember reading that! It's strange what sticks in one person's mind, and often doesn't make an impression on another. Mind you, I don't read all the posts, so I could have missed it. ;) My excuse.:)

Put your heads together for the next competition, they do say 2 heads are better then one :D So one or the other of you should know the answers;)

Worth a try I suppose! ;) I'm not that good with pictures, but like quizzes and searching for things.

Off on a weeks holiday on Saturday, so I hope we get the results before then, to know who the brains is! |biggrin|

Or possibly twice as much chance for looking complete idiots! :D :D

And in the 'Mods' comp, I got the right people and skills just, as Eric Morecambe once memorably said, 'Not necessarily in the right order'. :D:D
Pam

[busyglen]

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one though....I'd like to have known what the others put, but I guess we will never know. Mind you we still don't know what the correct answers are do we Pam? They might be fooling us still! :D

The list is getting whittled down. :)
Since last Friday I know Jan is piccie 6, and that she's the one who can card, dye and spin wool.
We know Sue is piccie 3, and her skill.
We've sorted out the men. :D
Which only leaves Ladkyis and Mary Elms.
Ladkyis has her skill (and grown-up piccie) on her profile. So by a process of elimination what's left must be Mary. (With apologies to Mary for making her sound a bit like a reject.)
Well, that's the theory......... :D:D

Oh well then, if that's the case, and you are right (?) apart from Geoffers, it was the men who let me down! Wouldn't you know it! |jedi|

Glenys

[busyglen]

Well I got Jan completely wrong as I found out on Friday, but you were definitely photo number two Geoffers. You still might not be able to recognise yourself in the mirror though - that photo was taken last century so you've aged a bit since then. :D
I know that as well as being exceptionally busy Mike was having internet problems at the end of last week. Forgot to ask him on Sunday if he had got switched back on.
So the answers to your first two questions are 'yes', and 'we're all still waiting to find out', respectively. :) (Do I get a prize for knowing those answers?)
Pam

Having just come back from holiday, I thought that the results would have been posted by now, but see that they are not. Also spotted that Mike hasn't posted for ages....does that mean that he is still having problems?

I know that I got some wrong, so it's not that I am waiting to know if I'd won, (I hasten to add ;)) I'm just itching to know the correct answers! :)

I see there is a new competition now, it looks fun, but time is running out.

It doesn't take that long Glen - have a go while the washing machine takes care of the holiday laundry.

Er...the washing machine (hubby) did half yesterday, and the rest today. I had to cope with other things and have only just found time to get back on. I will try in the morning....:confused:I forgot what the deadline is, will have to look in a moment.

Will have a go if I can. :)
