Regis Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 It is a very nice topic, great to see some smiles!

Bryan Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Tough one this, grumpiness and smiling don't fit well. 1) Woman in outsize deckchair 2) Happy cook 3) Not sure if this is a smile or a grimace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avpics Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Incidents such as this remind me how rubbish I am at considering emotional contexts and at using my imagination more when keywording. 'Smile' brought up six images out of thirty-odd thousand! 'Happy' a handful more. I have much to learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'm not trying to curry favour, Jorge, but perhaps you should know that I'm one of the few Anglo-Irish folks who can pronounce your name correctly. I had a friend in Port d'Andratx with that name. I practiced and practiced until I was threatened with a major throat operation. In the end, we settled on calling him George. But doctors allowed me to say 'Jorge' once a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Ed says we don't really have the guttural "h" in English. Unless we have a cold. Edited December 14, 2021 by spacecadet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is 100% true but as far as I can see in the Terms Of Reference of how to run the Monthly Challenge the correct pronunciation of the organiser name does not give a extra point/advantage respect to others. 🙂. Maybe in the next 2022 Alamy Month Challenge Congress in Las Vegas we can discuss to amend those TORs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Well . . . if that's going to be your attitude, GEORGE!!! 🤨 Jean-François? Sure, a piece of cake. Or crème brûlée. My daughter in law in Quebec is part of an original beaver-trapping family. And that's her brother's name. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 My best phrase in French is a thing of linguistic beauty —— the tone, the accent, the pop. Je ne parle pas français. There's no mistake in what I'm saying. A bribe? Hmm. There are people who will do anything for a snack but I accept no blame for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abiyoyo Posted December 16, 2021 Author Share Posted December 16, 2021 Are you happy that I can close this challenge the 29th at 23.59, Spanish time? The reason is that I prefer to finish this year with the nightmare of selecting the final 8 instead of entering the new year with that task. I am not superstitious, only just in case. I would like to start the 2022 without that BIG problem. Thank you for your understanding. 😉 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
