BIG

BIG bedbugs. Big bites. Plenty pus. by Padhraic
Big truck is Oz. by Conor

These are some big poisonous lizards, the komodo dragan where if we'd gotten bitten we'd have been dead within a few hours and there was no antidote!! by Stephen.

This is my little contribution to the BIG theme...The Laying Budda, Bangkok, Feetside shoot. by Marco.

This is a picture of the biggest kebab I have ever seen. I purchased this in a classy establishment called "Finnegan's" which was situated in a food court in Butlins at the BLOC music festival in Somerset on 13-15th March. I asked Donal Flynn to hop into the picture for scale (so you could see how massive it was). It was huge and if I'm honest, not very tasty. Actually, it was disgusting.It has been over a week since I attempted to eat this thing and I'm still having nightmares about it. by Aoife.

The great ocean road viewed from a helicopter. This is the big question mark. by Fiona.
"When you wake up with a sore head and see these BIG masts, you're not at sea on your favourite yacht, you're f*cked...BIG time!" by John.

D is for Derek. I was wandering around a park in Auckland looking for inspiration when I came across this big D. Just in time too.... by Derek

I took this photo in Inchydoney, Clonakilty where I live. As you may know Inchydoney is a surfers Paradise. I took this photo only a few days ago but I think it captured a moment, when the individual is about to go into the "big" wide ocean about to do what he or she loves and riding those "big" waves. What you see in the photo though is how small the individual is in comparison to what he is about to go into, the "big" sea. If im talking shite then by God Ill try harder next time! :) by Shane Peter.

On the theme of "BIG", I tried to think of a decent photo that would capture a the theme in a similar vein to the "Small, Far away" conversation on Father Ted but the choice was made very easy for me. I got a phone call at 7.30 in the morning offering me a ticket for Ireland Wales in Cardiff. I collected the tickets last night and here is the evidence. Bit of a recurring theme this month but they don't get any BIGGER than Saturday. by Shane Mc.
New Zealand tree. by Matthias.
This is from my travels to Syria. These are Roman Pillars from the Ancient city of Busra, Syria. The best I could do! by Killian.
This time we got to host the big one and what 3 days of mayhem they were!!! by Joanne.

Can’t get much bigger than Pat ;-) by Janelle.

It was the talk of the event in Perth (World team racing championships) around 2.5m x 5m ish.....Made of spinnaker material so it crackled for a week in the strong breeze covering the union jack for most of it!! by Darragh.
This is my submission for the theme "Big" It is a log handler used where I work and I think it definitely falls into the Big category!!! by Damien.
French Alps. by Anne Marie
This is a picture that Matthias sent me from his trip to Hawaii on his way back from New Zealand. He told me to submit this if there was ever a "small" theme. It made me laugh so I added it in! Is he talking about the girl or the bikini?

Paddy's Day around the world

St Paddy's in Bali. by Stephen
St Patricks Day celebrations in Abu Dhabi. by Killian

St Patrick's Day Credit Crunch Punch Party. French Alps by Anne Marie

Auckland. By Fiona

I have sent this picture of the kebab in lieu of a Paddy's day picture because this kebab meant that I spent my Paddy's day curled up in a ball on my couch watching Oprah instead of going to any parades (it may have been the Asda own-brand gin and cans of Murphy's I drank all weekend that made me ill, but I'm pretty sure it was this kebab....). By Aoife

Auckland 17/3/2009. This little fella even managed to break a camain on the big day. by Derek

Clonakilty. By Shane
Nottingham. By Shane Mc

And of course I celebrated the St.Patricks Day in Regensburg. By Matthias


Not your usual paddy's day picture but you encouraged drunken pics and thought this might be apt. Being nice Irish lads we introduced our Kurdish housemate Chektar to buckfast. He cant handle his booze at the best of times and halfway in he decided to draw all over our walls to celebrate our national holiday.....with kurdish republican slogans! Needless to say our landlord wasnt too happy and Chektar is "never drinking that sweet shit again" . by Darragh

Unfortunately the "Brazen Head" bar in Stellenbosch had double booked La Feile Padraig with some sort of "Ivory Coast Independance Day" themed party, resulting in tragically bungled facepainting displays. by Padhraic
