This is an interesting story that I thought I would post for the morality element. Would you have returned the check? Anyone here believe in "finders keepers" and would have tried to bank the cheque? How many of you think it would at least cross your mind to keep it? What about if it was a wad...

Here are the RULES – please read them very carefully before taking your photograph and submitting it for entry. 1. It’s entirely up to you how you interpret the theme, although I would advise you not to enter something too abstract that may be considered as having little or no relation to the...

Continued from the old thread here :) Today we're celebrating _Calleigh_'s birthday. Have a great day! :D

Err, I know I said I would do this the weekend, but I was busy, so here it is now :) (though I've extended the deadline so you all have a whole week to enter). ;) Here are the caps you can choose from to make your icon(s). 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15...

As you may have noticed, there is no new challenge yet. This is because Ducky will be away next week, so we'll put the next one up after she returns :) Sorry, I meant to write this sooner, but I've been ill for a while and forgot over the weekend. *hides from iconmakers*

This week, I thought we’d do something to help celebrate spring/summer ;) Here are the RULES – please read them very carefully before taking your photograph and submitting it for entry. 1. It's entirely up to you how you interpret the theme, although I would advise you not to enter something...

The organisers of London Fashion Week say they won't follow Madrid's example, where girls with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of less than 18 were banned from taking part in catwalk shows. The World Health Organisation says a healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 25, which means Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell...

After a break from the icon challenges, both Ducky and I have decided to start running these again, but we are going to go back to the original format of only one category. As fewer and fewer people entered both "beginner" and "advanced" categories before, we feel the best thing is to just go...

After a bit of a break, I've decided that for now, I will go back to the old format for the photo competitions (i.e. have one theme that everyone enters, and those 3 that get the most points receive banners). I need to re-think the rules before I do another LPS, but I hope to do another one of...

Who's to blame for childhood obesity? Should governments be doing more to tackle the growing rate of obesity around the world or does the buck stop with parents? From today all adverts for processed snacks and fast food in France will have to carry a health message encouraging people to stay...

Ducky and I have been wondering about the icon challenges we run, as we seem to be getting fewer and fewer entries lately. We're not sure if people are just too busy to enter (that's fine, we understand people have real lives ;)), whether people are bored of doing icon challenges, feel the...

Do women really just want a 'Mr Average'? Are high-flyers less attractive in your experience? Women prefer men who do not have top careers, according to scientists at the University of Central Lancashire. The researchers said women seemed to feel high-flyers would not be good fathers...

A question of rights... Does an individual who has no hope of recovery have the right to decide how and when to end their life? Arguments for why euthanasia should be allowed Those in favour of euthanasia argue that a civilised society should allow people to die in dignity and without pain...

Time for another random challenge, so this week I thought we'd go figure-skating :) I had such difficulty trying to choose just 5 pics, so I'm spoiling you all again with a larger selection ;) (these pics are from the 2007 European Championships last month). Skating 01 Skating 02 Skating 03...

This week we're gonna do Phantom of the Opera :) Now originally, I was just going to give you caps of the Phantom, but I decided I might be the target of flying debris and rotten vegetables if I didn't include caps of the rest of the cast ;) So as a special treat for this week, I'm giving y'all...

For those who feel they daydream too much... ;) From dailymail.co.uk. Rest of article here :)

In the UK (where I live) in 2004, the House of Lords voted and decided that parents should be allowed to smack their children. But rules were brought in that would punish them if they left red marks or bruises after smacking them. They didn't want to ban it completely because too many parents...

Yup, love her or hate her, this week we're gonna do Buffy :) Here are the caps you can choose from to make your icon(s) (taken from various season 7 episodes): Buffy 01 Buffy 02 Buffy 03 Buffy 04 Buffy 05 Here are the RULES – please read them carefully before creating your icon and...
