Nope, deadly serious - I've already started my spreadsheet 

I feel your pain - I was like that last year    top tips - 1. lots of wine 2. do not change your mind a few hundred times 

[*Theresa*]

OMG.....right in that case I am just gonna go for it and submit the 1 I have done.....I'll PM you shortly 

[Sheryl]

I'm just digging out my passport.  This is way too hard

[Jenna]

Good luck everyone! Can't wait to see the results. Such lovely photos.

The only categories I'm struggling with are Golden Oldies, Most handsome dog, It's a dogs life, Most lovable rogue, comedy classics and water babies....    oh  .

I am really struggling with golden oldies though 

[spanielcrazy]

There are SO many lovely pics so I'd just like to say....... Eeeeek help me!!!!!!!

Here is my suggestions for judging:

1. Have glass of wine. Have paper and pen ready

2. While enjoying above mentioned wine, print out all the photos.

3. Have another glass(es) while waiting for printer.

4. Hang all printed pics on wall.

5. See step one.

6. Put on a blindfold and throw darts at pics. Remove pic as dart hits and place in order: ie; first pic hit is First place, second hit is 2nd...(alternate method, you can do in reverse order)

7. Be sure to return to wine glass and paper and pen to write down your selections so that when you wake up in the morning you will remember your judging order to submit. Otherwise you will have to repeat the whole process.

....and no pressure but 3 judges have sent all their results in (a special mention to Theresa here, I know she's been keeping her judging 'pain' to herself but just wanted to say well done )

Ach it was nothing.....a walk in the park......Of course it helps that I roped in all my colleagues

Well if it's any comfort to the judges, Stu struggled too ...

After much deliberation, tearing of hair (whats left of it to start with),
the smoking of 20 Bensons and 6 cups of coffee I have come up with my result
for the judging of the Special Class for the COL 2010 Photo competition.
This was not easy! I could actually go to sleep now for an hour to
de-stress! First class entries all round I must say.

Results removed

Hope thats ok for you Colin, please feel free to use any part of this email
to impart to the members the hell I have gone through to get this far ;-)
Any further info required, let me know!

[Mollycuddles]

I thought it a struggle with the Golden Oldies but I'm now all dizzy with cute puppy overload how on earth am I to judge these little cutey's ....

I wish I could give them all a 1st they are all gorgeous

2 glasses of cider (tipple of choice today), 1small cadbury's easter egg, 4 bags of mini eggs and Easter lunch later and I have finally judged my classes. My co- judges (OH and mum) were USELESS!!
There were some corking pics! I loved judging lovable rogue!!!

Good luck everyone and I'll be sending my bill for all my clothes I'll have to buy after all the stress eating/drinking I've done over the last 2hours! Yes it took that long to judge!!

2 HOURS!!!!....I wish...I am such a ditherer I think I was nearly two hours per class.....Poor Helen was getting regular pm's from me with every one getting that bit more hysterical.....I'm guessing that will be the last time I'm asked
