Thanks guys for your kind comments they are genuinely appreciated. I just wish DTG could be bothered to respond as efficiently as you guys. At time of posting my winning shot is still not visible on the loading screen. The last time I won (week 22), my shot never even made it to the top of the loading screens and was replaced with the JJTimothy Riviera shot from week 20 which is still showing 6 weeks later. This time my winning entry has not even been uploaded at all. I am really getting to the point of why bother taking the time and effort to provide loading screen content in this thread. Am feeling totally de-motivated and somewhat annoyed. "Oh congratulations you have won the elusive prize, but we can't be bothered to award it - yet again!!"
