Just posted my photo, but for some reason it went to moderation? New restrictions?

My apologies for not voting last month. I bricked my N9 and I had serious internet access problems in the end of the month. I live in a country where internet bandwidth is still competing hard with having a bunch of pigeons in the back yard.

Reposting as the original doesn't appear and needed editing.

I'm my own snob in this one:

Taken with my N9. With timer and standing on the table. The standing part is still miraculous. When iphone owners ask in confusion: "You still have a Nokia?". I show them the stand: "Can your phone do this?"

Didn't plan to take part in this competition, until I saw this on the street.

Hope we can have more entry but if this is the only one I will bring a normal topic next month...

Goes to show there's a creative approach to any problem.

Also, wow! What a find.

New try as I'm being moderated :-)

Decided to be my own snob.

I saw a youtube video once where a guy was demonstrating how to prepare espresso and he was wearing white gloves. I thought that was really SNOB. Probably his reason was to avoid potential burns from the steam wand. I've never used gloves before with my La Pavoni so in this case it was just for the additional snob effect in the photo.

captain gastro here
white cotton gloves are least effective gear you can wear to protect yourself from hot stuff, espacially steam. They suck the steam and condense it while still being at "uncomfortable" temperature.

There are 3 main reasons for white cotton gloves.

1. Protect the good you are handling from fingerprints etc.
2. Show off how clean you can handle tasks that unexperienced would not master without messing up. (may be the case in the video you saw)
3. snobism.

So yes, very nice fullfillment of ste-phans hard task for this month imho!

Here is my Nokia 808 entry NOT to win so we can have a normal theme. Mmm, both seem pretty aware about their costly handbag.
Who knows, maybe there is an N900 512MB RAM prototype inside?

Since this them has deemed to be difficult I am posting a few more just for the fun of filling the thread with pictures.
