No :p. He wants you to download the pictures to your computer and then upload them YOURSELF to an imagehost, a server that is meant for posting pictures, like photobucket,imageshack or tinypic who will give you a link to post in the forum ;).

Just like I did for the 1st picture after which I gave a link to see the rest :p.

then next time i no need to post all the pictures..juz provide the link ok?:p

;) You know if you upload the pictures to photobucket you can post all the pics here. Only if you do it the pages will load very slowly because all the pictures are loading at the same time. Same as now (but this time the picture are very small so you don't notice). That's why I think it's better to post the link to it instead of posting all the pictures here. Comprende?!

True, looks like you need to re-educate your fans :p. But still you should upload the pics yourself even if you post all the pics here and not use the same link as the website. In a few months the website can change and the pictures won't work anymore. What if you do it like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24348962@N08/sets/72157604014834412/

What you can also do is post thumbnails, preview version of the pics. They are smaller and don't take so long to load and if they want to see the full version they can click on the preview picture. www.Imageshack.us and I think www.Photobucket.com as well give you the option to use thumbnails. And if you want to post the full versions www.tinypic.com is the easiest and Photobucket is good as well. For tinypic you don't even have to register.

They have containers where the transport office and tournament office is located inside. I think someone with the name Thomy works inside (short for Thomas).

i guess you are referring to KKK/TBH whereas i was thinking of every player who plays near the pot. it was just a coincidence i saw the pot in KKK's pic. :) i am thinking doubles game, they are always running around trying to get to the shuttle and sometimes goes off court. :p:);)

i would not make any excuses for how badly they perform in Swiss open nor all england. :p;)

Almost identical positioning, especially for Vita.

that must be the outcome of many many many years of practice. :)

Almost identical positioning, especially for Vita.

I think you will find that the two photos are in of the same rally, in fact streight after each other...there was a problem with the the scoring system, a delay in showing some points....quite oftail we had two scoreboards on the same cour showing different scores!!!!

Long-lost brothers? OMG, someone has mentioned it before but I coun't believe it till I saw it.:eek::eek:

Not too sure about whether it was during the same rally as first pic showed the shuttle had passed the net while in the second, the shuttle had not and Tony rushed in to tap it for a winner.

But on closer look at the scores, it could well be that something was not quite right as the first game ended with a score of 21- (looks more like an even number with one round-base number) as shown in the first pic, whereas the second showed it clearly as 21-17.

The front guy is certainly putting up a great act. :D
One would have thought they are in a "kung fu" competition instead. Just replace the racket with a sword or a sabre and you'll know what I mean. :p

they are traning shaolin kung fu!:p:p

shuttle passed the frontman. too slow to react?

Sony and Wang Yihan look alike? :eek:

yeah, someone posted their pics somewhere and they really do look alike.
do a search, i can't remember where it is now, perhaps one of the AE or german open threads.

Funny Pic :p They are:

Anthony Dumartheray and Shane Razi, both from Switzerland and your right they`re pretty young. If I`m not wrong, 19 years old.

As yamhill said, I'm pretty sure they are Shane Razi on the left (I think he's half Malaysian and half Swiss..) and Anthony Dumartheray. Shane is 20.

Ah thank you for the information both yamhill and yannie, thats really good to be playing in a tourmanent like this at that young age, maby will see more of them in other tournys. Maby some more amusing pictures as well :D

A beautiful picture indeed of LCW!

Yes just as Miss Ipoh has commented, LCW was dancing with an invisible partner! Certainly not a waltz or a slow fox trot, but rather a more jazzy number such as the rock 'n' roll or a Latin rhumba!

Look at LCW's handle grip which was so clearly photographed! How the fingers were well spread out covering the handle lightly. He did not hold right to the end of the handle but leave some space for manoeuverability.

But more importantly - his balance and stability! Even on almost one leg, he epitomizes strength and steadiness. And the deceptiveness in his poise, his body language, especially his eyes, will confuse his opponent into making second guesses as to where he will hit the shuttle! :eek::cool::D

That is one far out hairdo that the Referee has!

just their faces mate, their faces ....

:D

i had the same thought...also the legs...but would never mention it in a public forum :)

That is one far out hairdo that the Referee has!
