Red face I don't believe in this sort of thing ..... but .....

I went to the London Eye last Friday for the dear wifes birthday ...... she was a bit annoyed because she wanted to come too anyway, I had bought her a Digital Camera as one of her gifts - aren't I lovely??

Only the daft old bint left the Camera on the dining room table!!

So, muggings here, bought an 'Official Photo' of us on the Eye - a shot from outside the capsule, looking in.

Got home and I'm instructed by her who must be obeyed, to put in into a frame .... I'm trimming the edges so it fits and guess what????? There is a 'Ghostly Figure' in the capsule (NOT ME!!!) - it looks like a Victorian Gentleman facing away from the Camera, in grey with a bright 'haze' around him!!!! WTF??

I don't think for one moment he is a ghost ....... but I have no explaination for it!!

Anyone??

Yep, from a mods point of view - please post the pic or stop posting pointless nonsense.

I for one am sick to death of emails regarding posts by certain members hell bent on wasting everyones time - you clearly have more time on your hands than I do.

I have no scanner .........

What I was wondering, and the point of my post, is whether anyone else has been on the Eye and had a picture with the same figure??

Was it a Halloween trick by the Eye?

How else can I post it up here? Take a piccie of it?

RichieC - not sure why this thread is upsetting you so much?? It's just a thread on a BBS on the Internet ...... nowt more than that, surely to god?? This is 'Non-Scooby Related' - you puzzle me?

Yes you should easily be able to take a picture of your picture. Go and give it a try, I've done it loads of times

Browser "back" button ; one keystroke.

Typing the above replies; up to 50 keystrokes.

My previous post was over 100 keystrokes. Do I win a prize? It only took about 3 seconds to type though.

I don't think the comment was aimed at you ....... more at those posting wasting bandwidth they are complaining about being wasted, ironic rather, don't you think!?

Hardly "upsetting" me mate, I would have closed it by now. I really shouldnt puzzle you, Im just sick to death of 99% of reported threads fingering you as being a chopper; it becomes tiresome after a while.

*edit* just putting my comment back in saying "put up or shut up" for the benefit of pslewis who evidently did put up with his convincing evidence in the time it took me to reply
