Sadly I can't get my phone camera to work with this laptop I'm currently using. Means I'll have to leave out the tasks that needed visual evidence. :x I made a toilet roll tower too. :(

I'll be honest, I'm only doing these for the satisfaction of seeing Task GET!.

Easy

1. Altruistic Act

Banjo wrote:White Rabbit has accomplished Altruistic Act. I paid her £6 in a letter for her guide to Dark Chronicle. However, when it arrived today the letter had been ripped open slightly and some ******* had nabbed the pound coin in it. White Rabbit however is so wonderful and wholesome that she is till posting the item to me, even though it is not the total amount of cash. What a gal, what a heroine.

Apocalypse - Jesper Kyd


Love:
Daniel - Bat for Lashes



Happiness:
Learnalilgivinanlovin - Gotye



Sorrow:
Bottom of the World - Tom Waits

Easy (1 point each)

1. Altruistic Act

Sent fellow forumite Deadpool a DVD at no cost to his lovely self.

2. Music for the Soul

Anger - Killing In The Name by Rage Against The Machine
Love - I Saw Her Standing There by The Beatles
Happiness - Shoot To Thrill by ACDC
Sorrow - No Surprises by Radiohead
Courage - Juke Box Hero by Foreigner
Fear - War Pigs by Black Sabbath

1. Super-Continental Food Challenge

Burger and Chips on Monday, Sweet and Sour Chicken last night and Fish and Chips on Thursday.

2. Towering Ambition

Image

Hard (5 points each)

1. Trapped In Time

I firmly believe that on at least one occasion the machines will rise up against us, just like that documentry with Arnie in it. Hence some of choices are geared towards this.

Image

These machines will no doubt be super advanced, so having primitive software loaded onto them will no doubt blow their fragile machine heads off.

Image

Because everyone needs a spare pair of batteries.

Image
Just because there's an impending threat of doom doesn't mean we can have some fun. Trying to play 52 card pick up while firey death rains around you is going to be just superb.

ImageLandmarks will be useless when everything you know and love is reduced to a pile of rubble.

And the letter of course...
Image


2. Paint a Picture
An avatar is more than just a picture, it is something that each poster uses to identify a little part of themselves. So here's a crappy picture of mine playing poker together. :fp:

Altruistic Act

I bought a weekly pass for Magic Bus in Manchester on Wednesday, but I was leaving Manchester on Sunday. So, I gave my bus pass (with two more days worth of travel on it) to somebody waiting to get on the bus I got off.
