Beau Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 This year, to be part of Red Nose Day 2009, you just need to Do Something Funny for Money! So to support this fine cause our March competition has the theme of Do Something Funny for Money as well. It is very simple! All we want you to do is upload a photograph that you have taken into our shiny new gallery area. The photo can be of a fundraising event for Comic Relief you or someone you know doing something funny a funny image that you have taken (rude vegetables accepted providing they are not too explicit! ) any photo with a funny caption We haven't worked out the finer details of how exactly we're going to judge the competition, a lot will depend upon how many entries we get. Helen has very kindly offered up some prizes. The lucky winner will have the choice of either Problem Solving with Numbertime or Foundations of Literacy DVD Plus with the runner up getting our usual mug, badge or pen. So if you want to be in with a chance of winning one of these get snapping with your camera! To upload your photo just go to the Do Something Funny for Money section of the gallery and click on New Image. At the bottom of the page you should see a section which says 'Upload Photo' where you can browse the files on your computer and choose the image you wish to upload. Type in your Caption, add any text you feel you want to and then click on 'Post Image' at the bottom of the page. Hey presto - your photo should be in the gallery! Please feel free to post as many photo's as you would like. Please only post photographs that you yourself have taken and get the permission of anybody that might appear in them before uploading. The idea behind the competition is not just to have fun but to raise money for Comic Relief too. Please consider donating something by clicking here. For every pound the charity gets directly from the public a pound goes to helping transform the lives of people living with poverty and social injustice. ‘In support of Comic Relief, registered charity 326568 (England/Wales); SC039730 (Scotland)’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Ok this is a bit of a cheat but how about this to get people started: I'll do another closer to the day but I took this a couple of days ago after buying the stuff ready for the big day which I've ended up organising!

Beau Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well done Mrs Weasley! Yes, of course it counts. Perhaps you can link back to the original photo too, as not everyone would realise who these strange people are......... Steve has also made it so that the photo's can be rated. Please take the time to visit and leave comments or a rating. And please let's have some more photo's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Steve has also made it so that the photo's can be rated. I completely misread this Beau - I had visions of x-rated photos appearing here soon! I think MrsWeasley's photo is particularly cruel - look at my trousers!

I think MrsWeasley's photo is particularly cruel - look at my trousers! Maz I would say that MrsWeasley would have the technology to place strategic red noses to save anyone's embarrassment but since her photoshop trial runs out today then maybe not! Perhaps we'd better steer clear of the x-rated ones for this time. And what's wrong with your trousers?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsWeasley Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 And what's wrong with your trousers?? They've divorced her ankles!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Talking about ankles reminded me of one incident that I found particularly funny involving my husband. Not quite up to his ankles, but almost! Have a look in the gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 If any of you have been doing any fundraising this week, remember to upload a photo into the gallery for your chance to win a super prize! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquieL Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Now I'm a bit challenged here and no doubt I am missing something obvious but how do I rate the photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 OK I've uploaded one I took this morning with my staff dressed up as book characters...my favourite is Nanny Mcphee on the end...(aka moocher on here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Now I'm a bit challenged here and no doubt I am missing something obvious but how do I rate the photos? If you have the images up as a 'line' then the rating is underneath. If you have selected a single photo the rating is to the right of the photo. If you click on the bit that says rating you'll get a choice of giving a photo from 1-5 stars. Well done Jo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Have put my photo in the gallery....all staff and children dressed funny for money and raised £60.00 Here's a few more photos Edited March 13, 2009 by Mrsb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Mine's in there now (although I've set it as my avatar temporarily until I get sick of looking at myself ) I've just watched a video about a helpline for children whose parents abuse alcohol. Awe inspiring. Am off to make my donation. Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquieL Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Sorry but I'm not finding any way of rating that is obvious. I thought it might be me so set my OH to try, but nothing doing for him either. A step by step guide is obviously needed, sorry. Maz you look wonderful. I love the wig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Maz you look wonderful. I love the wig. Thanks! When you see the photos, underneath all the info about who has uploaded it and stuff, can you see a box containing 'Rating' followed by a number and then a down arrow? That's what I see - and then I clicked on the down arrow to select the appropriate number of stars. Then I clicked 'rate' and it updated my rating. Incidentally, I got to the gallery by clicking on Beau's link to the 'shiny new gallery area' although I'm not sure whether that would make a difference (far too technical for me to contemplate - that wig has killed a few brain cells I'm afraid!).

JacquieL Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I'm doing all that but when I click on the rating down arrow I am only getting the rating again, and no stars or anything just the rating number already there! So the problem isn't this end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 So the problem isn't this end. Well that is all very odd! Hopefully Steve will come to your rescue before too long Jacquie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I've uploaded one. Made me smile anyway My rating thingy doesn't work either - so it's not just your end! Shame I couldn't upload the lovely throaty gurgles that went with the pic. Perhaps it's only funny from my point of view - maybe 'you had to be there' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Thanks for that one too Cait - it's lovely! Just a reminder that this is also to support Comic Relief. I know I was in tears at several points last night watching some of the heartbreaking footage. So even if you don't upload a photo, please think about donating something.

Steve Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Oops. Erm - try again Jacquie... Nothing to do with me Guv - I was out of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquieL Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yeah... it's working now Steve thanks! That's a lovely picture Cait. Isn't it funny how a child's gurgly giggles are so infectious? On a well-being course I went to a couple of weeks ago they had put a soft toy, which giggled like a young child on each table. It worked as we all smiled and giggled every time someone set them going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'm about to upload another pic. I took an amazing one of my whole class but I can't post that here so you'll have to make do with me and my 2 TAs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Lovely photo! How did I miss the whole red wig thing - they were obviously selling them this year judging from the number of you that had them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsWeasley Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Lovely photo! How did I miss the whole red wig thing - they were obviously selling them this year judging from the number of you that had them. They've sold them the last few times Beau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 They've sold them the last few times Beau Just goes to show how observant I am then! Although in my defence I was living in the back of beyond until recently. Unless they did them in Costcutters, then I probably wouldn't have come across them.
