vlogdance I can see your upl.co link to the picture but it is currently dead, I’ve no way to retrieve it unfortunately. The upl.co website says it is down for maintenance check back soon so hopefully the image will return in good time.

Ah, Ok, thanks Vlog. It's a pity I can't see it, but at least I can rest assured I'm not going crazy or blind.

The picture's back. Have a look at the first post in this thread again, Helmut83.

A wonderfully inspired masterpiece, vlogdance ! I got all except “S”, “U”, and “Y”... and letter “I” is definitely my favorite! I do think this also would’ve made a good choice for “S”:

Thanks, vlogdance! This was fun! I think I got all of them except for "A" (I can't understand what's that thing on the image! Is that sort of a shell?) and "Y". As for "C", I think I've got it but the image doesn't coincide fully with the concept so I'm not 100% sure. The rest I'm pretty sure I've got them.

For anyone still puzzled, here are the answers: A = Apple pie (as in apple pie dreams) B = Blue Violin C = Cheap (as in cheap white wine) D = Disco (BIuebird's dancing lorikeet) E = ELO F = The Forum pub G = Gerbils H = Hugh I = Important Guy From The Industrial Revolution J = Jeff K = Kitten L = Llama M = Muk N = No Cause and Nieve O = Out Of The Blue P = Patrice the Gay Turkey Q = Queen R = Roy S = Shovel T = Two-Headed Monster U = USA vs UK V = Violinski, although I accepted Vinyl as well X = Xanadu Y = Yorkshire, home of Timeblue and of Mr Kaminski Z = Zoom unomusette, you asked if I created this. I did put the pictures together, but the original design is the work of Stephen Wildish. He does the most brilliant film alphabets. You can find out more about his work here. www.huffpost.com/entry/stephen-wildish_n_1327578Regarding copyright issues - I emailed Mr Wildish last year and asked his permission to post similar birthday alphabet cards for two of my friends on Facebook. He replied that he had no problem with my making this style of alphabet card and posting it on social media. So I think he'll probably be OK with our Cheap, Gerbils and Industrial Revolutions!

Very clever, it was a treat to guess them and I think you covered all the most important forum aspects brilliantly Maybe we could have it as a forum t shirt - you can design your own on some websites Good idea to email the original creator for permission though, we need to keep all our forum funds to stock up the fridge with cheap booze and sausages

I thought "U" was "united"; "V" was vynil; "N" was Nieve; and "I" was Industrial Revolution, but those 4 can be counted as correct. I was right with the "C", although the whole construction as I was expecting it would have been "cheap red" -as BSJ usually calls it- (and that wine was white) so that made me doubt. So two wrong for me (the apple pie and Yorkshire). Horacewimp, it stands out clear that you are a F1 fan: "Patrese" instead of "Patrice"!

To clear confusion, cheap is white or red. Depends the mood. I thought I was just Industrial Revolution, too. HA! Horacewimp did a BJS in "crummy typing"!

Aww darn, I didn't see the picture at first, and I was just trying to make a list off the top of my head. I am happy to see that my Disco made the forum alphabet, though! I think she will be quite pleased with herself.

Yeah, he also wrote "Neive" instead of "Nieve". He tried hard, but in my opinion no one does a BJS like BSJ. But the worst mistake -and punishable in my opinion- was none of those but elophile's degrading of the Two-Headed Monster into a mere two-headed "dragon". Dragon??? Dragons are prototypical creatures of little intelligence, easy to define and to predict, with lots of soft spots; and after one of them got killed by the blue-eyed zombies in Game of Thrones no one respects them any longer. I say the Two-Headed Monster should teach whoever dares confuse them with simple dragons the difference.

By the way, Muk is one goodlooking fellow. I bet the females in the fishbowl let out huge bubbles when he comes to sight.
