Wimblemong 2005 : WINNER JUTL WINNER JUTL WINNER JUTL

fanny splendid · July 18, 2005, 04:38:40 PM

Is there going to be another round?

ccab · July 18, 2005, 06:02:30 PM

Of course, the semi line-ups determined by the quarter-finals.

Jutl - Plank
Cardinal Tit Storm - Slim

Get in touch with your opponents and start the threads. Matches need to be finished by Sunday. Good luck everyone. Despite all the bailings-out it's a mouthwateringly strong line-up.

Cerys · July 18, 2005, 06:36:56 PM

I'm already scared, and I'm not even playing!

fanny splendid · July 18, 2005, 09:44:08 PM

I'm still keeping a record of the competition for those who are interested.

Also, I have thrown a table cloth over the 2003 Wimblemong to make it more, erm, attractive.

Cerys · July 18, 2005, 09:46:25 PM

I don't know about attractive, but my eyes have gone all funny.

Almost Yearly · July 20, 2005, 11:18:11 AM

Is that the plastic wipe-clean cafeteria Gingham? Laaavly.

Like the skulls too.

( When I click on the shots and the 600x400 window opens, the pic is offset down and right a few pixels.)

fanny splendid · July 20, 2005, 05:22:57 PM

Are you missing some of the picture, or can you resize the window? It shows up differently on the two web browsers I use. Throw in another couple of browsers, and a couple more operating systems, and we could have a cure for cats.

What they should do is have a language like HTML, but one which is standard across all browsers and platforms!

Imagine that!

Glad you like the skulls. They go well with Gingham.

Almost Yearly · July 20, 2005, 08:55:28 PM

They indubitably do.

I'm missing some of the pictures and I can't resize the window, despite it having a tab for doing so. Its maximise button is greyed. Get to it, big boy.

fanny splendid · July 20, 2005, 11:26:01 PM

I have added resizable windows, I think. My PC refuses to connect to the internet, and so I can't be sure it's working.

Flook · July 20, 2005, 11:33:18 PM

It is.

Just a suggestion - can you add on blur window.close to the body tag in the popup so I dont get RSI trying to close all the windows :-)

Edit - ah no youre just opening the JPGs arent you...never mind.
I could do you a script that would do it tho

fanny splendid · July 21, 2005, 08:51:54 AM

I could put the full size jpgs on the page but there is always someone with a small monitor, or a slow internet connection, or on a PC. Yes, a PC!

Any help, however, would be appreciated. As long as it's as easy as using a find/replace function in my text editor!

Flook · July 21, 2005, 10:17:04 AM

Have a look at this Fanny

I've rewritten the script a little bit so you'll have more control over the pop up window. Added the onBlur close window thing. Works fine on IE and NS (PC) but I would test it on your dirty mac before unleashing on the general public.

fanny splendid · July 21, 2005, 10:49:38 AM

Thanks, but sorry, it doesn't seem to be doing anything on Firefox , or Safari, apart from the the image is no longer flush with the top and left hand sides of the window.

I have uploaded your fanny file; but what is meant to happen?

Flook · July 21, 2005, 11:00:09 AM

Ah firefox and safari - I dont have them to test on.
Its supposed to open the window and show the image as before , but then when you click away from the pop up, it should close itself. this method would also allow you to set the gingham background on the popups and add in any other html stuff if you wanted, by changing the code written into the window,

I did wonder if safari would be a problem as they seem to have taken yet another interperetation of the javascript model.

Anyway, if you want to continue with it you can make the image flush top left by changing the line

str+='<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onBlur="window.close();">';

to

str+='<body leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" rightmargin="0" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onBlur="window.close();">';

fanny splendid · July 21, 2005, 11:08:45 AM

Quote from: "Flook"but then when you click away from the pop up, it should close itself.

Ah, I tell a lie, it works in Safari, but not in Firefox, which is fine, I don't use Firefox.

I'll add the code to the other pages, thanks.

Edit: It works in Firefox now. Thanks for the advice Flook, it looks a bit better now with the background image in the pop-up window, and the picture centred. Cheers!

Flook · July 21, 2005, 05:25:31 PM

Yay, looks good.

Well certainly more gingham-y anyway :-)

slim · July 22, 2005, 10:37:49 PM

<shakes Tit's hand>

Well, I'm glad I didn't get the love thrashing I thought was on the way. The best man won, and I paid the price for being foxed by the custom Madeley shot. I'm looking forward to the final very much, and I'm grateful to all my opponents that dropped out and propelled me further than I could have ever dreamt of.

I'd like to thank my mum, my dad, the ballboys, Gandhi the umpire, the hard working lads and lasses in the cocktail lounge, the spectators, Roger Daltry, Adobe, the brave people of Constantinople, Walkers Crisps, the kids of Fame, three time indoor slope champion Francis Beanbean, toadstools, Private Eye, Neil, TJ, Jacks (purveyors of fine Wellington boots), the Christian Fundamentalists of Texas, the Flying Pickets, Grace Kelly, my mum, my dad...

Cardinal Tit Storm · July 22, 2005, 11:05:58 PM

Thanks for the game, Slim.

Plank · July 23, 2005, 01:33:05 PM

Well done jutl. Good luck in the final.

Thank you - you played a great game.

Cerys · July 23, 2005, 04:42:07 PM

Dammit, you're all being too gentlemanly. Where are the hissy fits? The thrown racquets? The threats of physical violence to the umpire? Bah.

wasp_f15ting · July 23, 2005, 08:25:18 PM

well done to both of you, I feel honoured I played against someone who is entering the finals ;-)

splattermac · August 06, 2005, 01:50:04 PM

Big thanks to all those who took part and well done to the Cardinal and jutl for battling through to the final, it was very close in the end.

So this year's champion is jutl and well deserved it is too.

butnut · August 06, 2005, 02:00:09 PM

Yes, well done to both finalists - a supreme monging final!

Cardinal Tit Storm · August 06, 2005, 02:20:54 PM

I think everyone deserves some champagne and strawberries. Bring on the dancing girls.

jutl · August 06, 2005, 03:13:09 PM

Thank you all for your votes and your curious taste. I didn't vote at all, but it seems to me that both Plank and CTS were better than me, so there you go. Does anyone have any shots they thought better of? How about a gallery of rejects?

ccab · August 06, 2005, 04:08:59 PM

Bravo Jutl! A terrific performance, highly deserved and especially impressive considering this was your first Wimblemong. You are now hoisted into the pantheon of monging giants to perch with greats such as Horsegun, Abbie and - that other lass, I forget her name. Savour your triumph, the fame, the glory, the breasts it will set wobbling for you and remember always to gloat like a vacuum.

Commiserations CTS, but I'm sure this won't be your last final.

Almost Yearly · August 07, 2005, 09:47:09 AM

Yup, well done everyone, except the welchers - priorities, honestly!

Quote from: "jutl"Plank ... better than me

Yup, have to agree with that. ;-)

QuoteDoes anyone have any shots they thought better of? How about a gallery of rejects?

Yup, I wondered this too. Thought posting mine in this thread might bring out more.

Ah, get away with yers. It's not my name on the Wimblemong Vase now is it.

Anyway, here's some of my monging offal.

Congratulations Jutl - come and join me in the winners lounge and we can talk politics, or something.
