      I think that if the title just says "spirit" then you can post pic's about alcohol or ghosts etc but if the title says "spirit" with a definition of alcohol then pic's of alcohol only

      Title anything that matches title
      Title with definition then it must match the definition

      Then once the com starts that's it no changing


      IMHO

        Usually any info given by the setter of the comp, or by Woo, are given as guidelines (I try to do so where needed) but are only guidelines. :dbgrtmb:

        @Jiffy I see from your details under your name that you're a 'Trainee Deputy' but I thought you were the Assistant, Trainee Deputy. :scratch: :heehee:

          Good morning I have had a look back in time at the majority of our past Photo comps and I can say that there are many many examples of images not exactly fitting the chosen Themes so for the life of me why as this flared up now,I am totally mystifyed and bamboozled ,must be something I have yet to learn about human nature,I'll go and see if its in my knowledge book about human behaviour if I can't find it I shall have a word with my old friend Desmond Morris to see if he can help me out he's 88 now but still as sharp as razor blade:whistle:

            Don't forget, that under 'Elf & Safety, you need a sharps box as well.

              I concur :love30:

              Not at all :heehee: no blow out ... just a healthy, polite, and valid, exchange of views (which, after all, is what a "forum" was designed for) :thumbsup:
              Maybe ... :Think: ... just maybe ... :think3: ... the "Trainee Deputy" was having a weekend off. In which case, the Assistant Trainee Deputy has to become the Trainee Deputy because there isn't an assistant if the *one* is having the weekend off and therefore no one can possibly "assist" :dunno: :scratch:

                'Weekend off' is not in the job description. :nonofinger:

                    Yeah, but only because the Trainer Dep is back after his weekend off and the Assistant has been dutifully demoted under those circumstances :heehee:
