The more observant of you may have noticed an extra forum has appeared.
Following the success? of Big Brother\'s garage quiz, I have (painstakingly) brought the BackRoom Poll out of retirement.
For the 1st week I have used an old question that Martyn posed as I want to test things to see if there are any bugs before starting other questions - one of which will be the Alfa v TVR vote.
Use this thread to mention any bugs that I haven\'t spotted.
DD.

The only bug that I can see is that it doesn't let you know WHO voted YES! :)
No, it seems to work OK Dave.

I hate to own up to it but I was the one who voted yes. It's true. I had to check if it worked!
Adam
|
I did only vote once though. Whoever did it the second time must have known it worked after my vote....so cough up!
Adam

i voted yes Im ashamed now

Adam, you were well-named. I recommend fig-leaves.

Har de har har.
I did try them but the air-con made them go a bit funny. Oh well - I was getting funny looks at the petrol station anyway.

Hi

Regrettably one of the yes answers was from me. A long story which I have no intention of going into.

However, I will enlighten people:-

If that were the case, then how would people reply to my question I asked at the start of the thread?
"Use this thread to mention any bugs that I haven't spotted."

Hello.
Sorry

Hello. Sorry
No worries ;o)

Can the next poll be about which of the moderators we would most like to see naked? ;-)
|
Well done DD, I know it took you some time to sort this out. No glitches as far as I can see. I have cast my vote, which remains the same as last time. I might change it if you offer me huge sums of money though. ;)
In response to NW, how about geting a 2005 HJ site calendar printed, with pictures of moderators in various poses and states of undress for each month?
|
I'm game. How about HJ nominates a charity?
DD, Mark, you up for this in the name of a good cause?

You must be joking.
1. You\'d need a wide angle lens to just fit my gut in the picture.
2. My jeans would have to be surgically removed.

Great idea moderators - but it needs to be with your cars. Contrasting clothing (or lack of it) for Alfa and Vectra (not sure what Mark drives) would enlighten us all.
Didn't I see on another thread that one of you was going out to buy a pick-up? Now that should suggest some ideas.
It would probably sell more if HJ were to appear (wearing just his hat perhaps and as little else as is decent).
Believe it or not, I too was a moderator for many years - of accountancy exams!
|
|
Now there's a thought - HJ-style hats could be used to cover up a multitude of things. ;)

Landcruiser.

Hi
A landcruiser
Prove it

Excuse me ? Why would I want to prove anything to you ?
|
Hello
Not me Everyone
Why would anyone want to see men naked (That calender people were on about)

Martin Winters

Ok, I know its Sunday and I know I drank too much last night, but I am now deeply confused.
Do you mean prove that I have a Landcruiser ? Or do you mean that I should prove something about No Dosh fulfilling his fantasies on a calender ? Of is there another end to this stick that I haven't got ?
|
Of is there another end to this stick that I haven't got ?
If that remark was misinterpreted, this thread could get a bit risqué .... ;-)

Ever heard of "The Full Monty"? Sell-out film and play, selling tickets to men and women alike?
Admittedly I'd have to play the part of the lardy one.....
|
I think I would rather see a calender of motors you loath rather than full monty.with pictures of you all fully clothed stood by them.no offence meant :-)

Horray!! At last my Vectra is required, even if it's only for a photoshoot.

I'll toss you for it. (no pun intended)

What is nagging at me is I voted following a surfeit of Jack and now I'm wondering if my vote can be traced back to me.....
|
Doesn't 'Calendar Mods - The Movie' have a certain ring to it? Certainly much better than 'Calendar Backroomers'.
Mods are well and truly separated here, with one game, one absolute no-no and one keeping very quiet about it.
Isn't this the way we could make a collective fortune?

Only if we have the rockers in the background :)

No.

Seems ok to me. However, when Martyn previously ran the poll, *sometimes* the Alxnet website would play up - but hey, it's free, so I hadn't better complain to them ;o)
|
Ooer! S'okay now. Thanks Dave

Terry

13 have?
Don't believe 'em.
Except Mark, of course.
|
>>I'll toss you for it. (no pun intended)
LMAO! My calendar idea is a tasteful one, not one of 'those' types.
Things like having snakes draped around you, or rose petals (if they're big enough), or whatever - maybe endorse an occasional new chocolate bar - in the best possible taste. And of course, always, being pictured languiching over your cars.
|
But then you could take it the wrong way.I took it as I thought joke. We are in real world. least I hope so.?

:o I too have driven while naked.
And like the chap in the movie have also driven to a pub while dressed in a full gorilla suit (sans head)
I left the pub with a vicar, tart and a bloke dressed as a St Trinians.
The pub was The London Aprentice in Isleworth, I've never been back since.

Isn't it perhaps a little dangerous to drive around without your head? ;-)

Plenty manage, for a while at least. OK the head is physically there, but it's clearly not being used.

Clearly, we need a BackRoom education programme to persuade gorillas to use their heads a bit more.

The last naked personality there was Concorde but it only had its nose and part of its tail missing and minus clipped wings.
Both sad days?
|
Steve. O. - it started as a joke - however.....
following lack of interest by other mods, I propose we have an ND calendar for 2005 - draped around various makes of Alpha?
We could also have stuff like No Wheels changing a wheel, and other ingenious stuff like that.
Shall I shut up and go away now?

I like it! In the sort of poses adopted by the scantily-drsseed women at motorshows. Perhaps even wearing leather gear? ;-)

Or NoWheels being turned into a wheel ...

No! Please don't!

We could have
HF stood by a car with the bonnet raised, looking helpless and, well, female.....
Growler baring his tooth. Sorry, teeth.
PugUgly with a paper bag on his head
Patently tied and bound and positioned as a speed-bump in the path of a speeding X5
Teabelly is probably best left out of this......
|
Patently tied and bound
Oh yes. Oooh yes.....
|
>> Patently tied and bound Oh yes. Oooh yes.....
If he's that keen, why he should he get it done for free?
|
|
I'm now getting an image. Best l leave it at that.
|
What do I have to do to get a spanking as well? (see the automotive vandalism thread...)
[I should point out that this is so TIC as to make all previous TIC comments look like gospel!]

What fee would you charge?

I wouldn't: I'm not in that line of business.
But since it was NoDosh's idea, maybe he'd give you a quote? ;-)

I speak with no experience or knowledge, but I suspect that option would lack a certain something....
No offence, ND....

It's amazing where a story about a headless gorilla suit will lead....

>>HF stood by a car with the bonnet raised, looking helpless and, well, female.....
You know, I think I can manage that.
I think I can even manage it for free.
In fact I was practising the other day, when wondering if it was time to top up my water (decided it's way too soon since I did it at Christmas.)
Can I wear a tasteful leopard-skin-type bikini, as I usually do when working on my car, or do I have to cover up more?
HF ;)))
|
No the bikini will do just fine.
