Just bought Hardcore Homecoming from Sykes last night, for that task. Mocky, is it ok if I post my pictures of trees up tomorrow? I can't find the wire to connect my iPhone to the laptop.

The tasks I've done, in one post to:

I'll have to leave the other 2 tasks.

Looking forward to the next set of tasks, Mockytaskmasterguy.

That is fine. Post them tomorrow but I'll assume it's a pass. In future I may make the deadline for each set of tasks every Sunday evening. That way I have time to put the league table together for the next day.

Tocky I've made a trade agreement in the post but the trade won't be carried out until a later date. Task get or task fail?

I will allow it.

If it falls through you can remove the points at a later date

Anyone who hasn't posted a summary of their tasks, it would be a great help if you would do so. I've done a sweep of the thread and have created a preliminary table. I think a few more people will post their task results later though.

Right, here we go....

Banjo: Week 1

Easy

1. iPlay, iSaw, iConquered- Les Paul: Chasing Sound (terrific documentary, nice and long at 90 minutes too) and Shooting Stars ('mazing).

2. The Winner Takes It All- As I mentioned earlier in this thread, the pizza-eating competition I took part in on Tuesday.

Medium

1. Arboretum Council-

2. Strictly Confidential- http://www.grcade.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=11939&start=80. Product has been paid for and received. You may confirm this with White Rabbit.

Hard

1. Reach Back- On that same day as the pizza-eating competition (at the same venue nontheless), my friend David was there, who I hadn' seen since May. Damn, not quite. However, I then had a nice conversation about Classical Musicals with my friend Emyr, who I haven't spoken with since Christmas.

2. The Entertainer-

I believe that makes for a complete week.

Show off. Quick sell me one of them balloon animals and that'll be the 2 remaining tasks finished for me too. :shifty:

Could do. How much are you willing to pay?

I'll accept Bison Dollars.

Do you accept pieces of string?

Depends. What quality of string are we talking about? Is it colourful?

It's silly string.

Is it still in the can?

No. It's in a sock. Which makes it even more silly.

Deal.

When did this transaction commence?

As we speak.

Task Pass.

Tree 1

This tree, found in Weston Park in Sheffield, is directly outside the lab I'll be working in for the next three and a bit years. I'll be seeing a lot of this old girl.

Tree 2

The first photo is the rather inspiriting view out of my bedroom window. The second picture is a close-up of the only greenery in view. This tree improves the view no end.

Tree 3

A picture of the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin, Washington DC. When I went over to the States to see my girlfriend (who was living there at the time) we decided on a whim to go to Washington DC. Turns out we were there right in the middle of the annual blossoming of the cherry blossoms. This tree represents our reunion.

And in case the cynics among you were thinking I'd just lifted it off Google...

That's me looking incredibly cool and casual.

In other news, I bought a bag of modelling balloons but I can't even blow them up.

Working on the other tasks still.

I too have entered that competition.

Does that count?

Task GET!

His name is Doggy. The dog. He's an excitable characters, which I why I had to hold him down to take this photo.

He reckons Derren Brown predicted the lotto numbers by painstakingly cataloguing every draw for the last ten years, as well as the time it takes for the first ball to drop out, atmospheric pressure inside the machine, and the colour of the presenter's shirt and then using that data to write an incredibly complicated algorithm that can predict exactly what balls are going to come out of the machine on any given day with any given environmental variables.

I'm sceptical.
