You gotta chuckle now and then, or you forget how, eh?

Good grief Douglas. Do you even want people to look at your
pics?

For someone that carried on about being bullied you sure like to provoke
them.

Thanks for that, I just got someone the funniest looks in the office
from laughing out loud. The first two I got a good laugh at, the boat
one is a keeper.

I'll leave others to comment (there already seems to be a clear
consensus..!) on the content. I'll stick to the image and the
presentation.

Firstly, the image:
Quite good. Although ruined of course by all the 'funny' text.
Interesting composition - the slanting shoreline works well, but the
half obscured bird is unfortunate. Good-ish colour but a slight
tendency to drift towards cyan-blue. Contrast about right, if a
little excessive with a few minor areas of blocked blacks - some
people of course like that style, sort of '1-hour-kiosk-esque'..

Now for the text...

"Today's new 19th June 2007"
The apostrophe-s after 'today' must be either a contraction of 'is',
or possessive.
Today is new 19th June 2007? Makes no sense.
Today owns new 19th June 2007? Makes less. There's a literacy
problem here - a missing word perhaps? Missing words in titles or
headlines generally are a *very* clear indicator of the competency of
the author.

"Douglas... His usual position"
The lack of a full stop is probably passable as it is clearly a phrase
rather than a full sentence, and use of a capital after an ellipsis is
OK, but of course you need to be consistent... Note the contrast of
the letters as you read on...

"Annika1980... looking for a better camera angle"
Should have used a capital L here, or not used capitalisation above.
Like I said, *consistency*... But why on earth is the contrast so
different? The background is lighter than the others, yet he posted
lighter, less contrasty text. The result is that it looks somewhat
lost, particularly odd and very amateurish, not like a professional at
all...

"The Mark twins one can't keep his mouth shut the other squared off
and no one to fight"
Oh dear, now we have lost both the capital *and* the ellipsis, so it
looks like we have someone here who is really struggling with the
concept of consistency. I'll give some credit, for the second phrase
contains one of Douglas' few correct uses of an apostrophe (bravo!!),
and it is even grammatically complete*, but the third? Oh dear. We
are missing a *verb*, Douglas.

Now going a bit off topic.

The second phrase "one can't keep his mouth shut" is interesting, for
this seems to refer to someone Douglas stated had just 12 hours left
to apologise, "before your world turn (sic) red". That was about..
hmm, let me check...

Yes, that was about *3 days* ago. Is that person still posting, I
wonder, and has he apologised? Is his world red?

Competence, consistency and credibility oft go hand in hand.
