is it me or is the comp looking thinner and thinner

.mebbe because this week's topic is too damn hard.. ...

it's not the topic, it never was. it's the situation at work where we have about 3 ppl to do the work of 7


By the time I get home i can barely move, let alone theme.

All I know is pills and sleep

And it looks like things will get worse before they get better so I may not be able to compete for a longer stretch of time then I'd care to know about.

The topic does play a part in the number of people participating, as well as new competition. Remember all those spanish dudes we had? they made a comp. for themselves. And also as vlamm mentioned, everybody is busy nowadays

is anybody busier than me?

I didnt think my topic would cause people to not participate, we all moan at easy challenges where the variety is too wide so you could get away with practically anything. I hope if I ever win another that I will put up a vote to see which choice people want to pick. Yes I have looked back on previous topics and this 1 is rather poor for contestants, just lucky some of our newbies arnt affraid of getting stuck in, even when not too sure of the concept

dunno ex..... I only work a measly 11 to 13 hours per day so you probably win.

ev I think tough topics are a good way to 'sharpen' ones skills and they are definitely a lot more challenging than 'simple' topics... thus being more rewarding.

I'd love to participate but i just can't get myself to sit down at the computer for more than 30 mins once I'm finally home


Another thing may be the coming fo summer..... life outside and away from the computer is a lot more tempting than it is in winter

Very true as we have terrible weather all the time

i guess it's worse up north than here in london?

Brilliant weather we have, 2 nice days at easter and a full 2 weeks in the summer

it's winter here in australia as well. Nice weather to sleep at home

from the Christmas cards i've received.. i'm guessing it's hot during Q4 of the year in Australia..

The card i got was a Santa wearing trunks and building a Sand Christmas Tree..

maybe i'm wrong?

Xmas is in summertime though... on the southern half their summers and winters are reversed as compared to ours


Still I too believed that aus has a generally warmer climate than we have here, all year round...

I think australia is the only country that has Christmas in SUMMER! how cool is that?

you know, speaking of spending x-mas in hot places, i spent x-mas at home in cebu, phils for the 1st time since i was 4 when i left for the states. it was so fun!! almost got my fingers blown off by the fireworks not to forget to mention new years i had a blast

ok that was my short story i hope you all enjoyed

i spent x-mas in a hot place once

but i didn't leave england to do that

heck! i didn't even leave london and it was -3 celsius i think too...

you're always in a hot place me thinks



btw who's been suing this topic as a football kicking it all over the forum?

Yeah Mount Venus

lol, yeah that was me

sorry , I still have much to learn from the master of all masters

anyway what has the weather in austrilia got to do with the theme comp

I must admit, i have cut down my enties now as well , i've been quite busy these past few weeks like everyone else, (maybe not as busy as ex, but still busy), also as the summer comes i'll start spending less and less time on the pc , till winter starts comming again even though it will probably rain most of the summer in england
