  1. Bad news. I didn't get nominated...

    Hi Peter,

    Thank you for entering The Drum Chip Shop Awards.

    The judging has now taken place and the finalists have been announced but unfortunately you have not made it onto the shortlist this year. We understand this can be very disappointing as we know how much time and effort has been taken to pull your entries together.  
     
    We are unable to provide feedback on specific entries however, I can explain the judging process to give you some insight.

    Our jury remotely scored campaigns, and then came together via an online meeting to discuss the overall scores in each category, creating a shortlist and deciding on all award winners together.

    The competition was extremely fierce this year with an array of great entries and on this occasion, other entries in your category scored higher and when discussed, they were decided as the finalists by the judging panel.

    Bah Humbuggerit! A very bitter character, who didn't get his bottle of vinegar (yes, that's the nomination prize. Winners get a resin chip as the trophy).

    "Tick followed tock" as the guy from the Guinness ad, once said: I hate waiting.

    Roll on Thursday!

  3. Great crazy design, this should be a series, as the green guys are really funny.

    Heeellllllp! There's two of them drowning.

    That poor dog doesn't want to end up on the barbecue. Run boy! Run! 

    Their spaceship looks like an egg; so does that make it a frying saucer then?

    Is that the same alien that ate Thomas Dolby's Buick?

    The ten pin boiling team on the tram roof: are they training today?

     

  4. Wouldn't look out of place next to a Marshall amplifier and a Dansette record player. Maybe you could use this as a record shop vinyl banner canopy or business card perhaps?

    I can imagine the red fabric being stretched, then glued on to wooden case and the faux metal lattice infill would very tactile under the finger nail or plectrum.

    Two guys, two girls and a pair of massive sausages. What more could you possibly want?

    To know where that tube is going to...is it butane gas or a draining catheter? If it's the second: then I'll say no to the cloudy cider. Which i think might have a cheeky name.

    Ah! A future advertising poster for Elon Musk and his Starship adventures.

    Or Beardy (as Jeremy Clarkson calls him), aka Virgin Galactic's Richard Branson, as he does have a thing about red balloons.

  7. No filters or adjustments here, just got lucky. I set my camera to one of the automatic modes.

    The second one was only a few minutes later, again no filter, that hill looked like it was home to a giant searchlight.

    Well worth the drive, it was a gut instinct decision. 

    Definitely worth it.

    Shame about the pub being shut.

    Meow!

  8. What started as a hunt for a decent picture of red kites (because they all took off and flew off) turned out to be a photoshoot of my partner's amazing handy work, a multicoloured acrylic scarf.

    A wing like pose, to make up for the lack of avian interest.

    Another cloudy and chilly day: at least it was dry.

    Paparazzi  allergy perhaps? I wouldn't mind; but this field is home to two dozen of the flying-road-kill-diners.

    Crochet 1: Ornithology nil.

  9. Absolutely, too much screengazing, kills the mood and makes for lousy pictures. 

    I hope this doping scandal dies away, it's gone on for too long. Put Greg Lemond in charge, as he has one hell of an axe to grind.

    Yes, the Dutch are mad like that and GCN have compared the different types of bikes and how they compared over on their channel. There's always one rogue rock/razor bill/hidden boulder/anti tank device to avoid!

    I've not read that they've decided to do that. I think riders need sorting out, there's some poor riding standards out there, and not sure simply removing the tarmac section will make much difference. But as is the way these days it's always someone else's fault, like organisers, barriers etc rather than looking at themselves and riding more sensibly.

    I think banning two way radios would improve safety more, make it one way, rider to car/race control. As it is all the DS's are telling them to move up at the same time and that is creating some of the problems.

    What is tomorrow's date? 

  11. Wow , I've had a 15mph skid on freshly mud coated roads, a head collision with the tarmac, a somersault whilst strapped in (rat traps: them where the days) and my latest was being T-boned by a Beemer, I was sprawled over the bonnet. I'm not a pro stuntman like you! Insurance paid me £3k though, that's how I paid for my car. I still can't descend-like-Cancellera on a road bike, like I can in my car.
