Thank you SuZ, I honestly struggled to come up with a theme, til the Beach Boys idea came from the blue, cheers David

Missed this gem David, congrats on your win. It was only the other day I asked Alexa to play the beach boys that it came to mind and when I saw the pic it came together. Tom

Thanks Tom, the picture itself sparked good vibrations, so I just went at it from that direction, and the beach boys theme took over, I’m delighted to get a placement, cheers David

Heya Anaya, Some call Irish whiskey the madman’s drink, if you drink more than the recommended dose, I think gran had a few too many lol, cheers David

I know of one another besides Tom, but at least you have an entry. No worries... it's a trivial thing in life.

I’m just after visiting Toms page now, and spotted he had already written a beach boy theme, I had honestly no idea, but with a limited prompt to go on, there may be a few other entrants with similar ideas, Damn serendipity, cheers

She's got the spunk to do it. Wouldn't it be fun if you won with your new entry? ;)
