Kerouc in his fantasy novel, The Road To Wigan Pier

One of my all time favourites!

At the end you'll be nearly with those in the upper chamber.

When did it become acceptable to edit photos? Isn't half the challenge arranging your top tube to block the giveaways in the picture?

The photo (pre-potatochop[1]) gave me everything I needed to google the answer. Then again, so did googling "Boe irony mural" and looking at the google image search results.

The trick is to remove just enough to make it less than trivial to google to find. I don't mind if that has to be done by potatochopping. Relying on that just gives a much higher chance of being tagzumped.

(Even as a casual participant in this thread I'm more than happy for anything to be done to images to make it anything but really simple to google clues from the photo itself.)

1. I think it had gone through several photochoppings. The first one still still showed enough of the side of the building to allow me to guess the pub name and then google that. The second potatochop made that much harder.
   

I just miss the art of the well placed obstruction.

I've been away from this thread for a while and I don't remember it being a thing before I dropped out. I wouldn't bother doing it, myself, because I do enjoy trying to pick an angle that hides the obvious clues (and I don't always get that right).

That said, I'm not going to complain if others do it. Firstly, it's not like they're faking the pictures. Secondly, it gives the rest of us more chance to tagzump them.

I agree with jellybaby. I certainly prefer undoctored pictures. I think the occasional Photoshop is OK, but that it shouldn't be overdone.

There isn't a band called Cars & Arses yet, so someone should start it.

I thought this was sorted out in the Treaty of Milan? Along with allowing non-fixed-gear bikes and permitting women to take part.

Will, I'm well aware that you've been pitching your latest script to Netflix over the last fortnight, but it's safe to come out of character now.

I have found memories of the Second Lateran Council banning ping pong. Definitely up for burning anybody who tags another one.

Cars & Arses

My renaming of Cart & Horses doesn't seem to have gone down well then. In the spirit of the 'devilish' tag perhaps, but not really in the spirit of the game.

I also agree with a well placed obstruction. It took a few attempts to get as much obscured as I could. I used the street lamp's reflection to cover the Egans bit on the top and then the bike + stand to cover most of the front. I wanted to leave the hanging pub sign as a visual clue, but that meant removing the name from the top of it. Attempts to disguise the sidewall with the handlebar revealed too much from the front again so I settled with having some 'creative fun' with the remaining wall by swapping a few of the letters round in a way that was obviously not real, so I hoped.

I didn't even spot your Photoshopping till now but I think it's brilliant!

It's not over yet, you have to give people some time to start bands. It's not all that easy.

Ha. If that's aUkaUk, it looks like a meeting-place for Audax Club Hackney. I suspect it's dUkdUk, though.
