[Oberon]

Barmouth bridge?

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it a swing bridge?

[Betonov]

Scotswood rail bridge over Tyne

[Jimbuna]

Looks like a train bridge.

Rgr that.

Barmouth bridge?

Nope.

Is it a swing bridge?

Nope.

[Jimbuna]

Scotswood rail bridge over Tyne

Bingo, didn't take long at all :up:

http://i.imgur.com/K9Y0NiS.jpg

Over to Anze.

[Betonov]

Ups :oops:
I actually forgot I was playing :oops:
Thanks Aktung :up:


Which famous battle was this. Battle, not painting.

http://i.imgur.com/vQflYFi.jpg?1

[Jimbuna]

Battle of Solferino?

[Betonov]

Battle of Solferino?

Like Djokovic vs Federer :doh:

Right again Jim :up:

[Jimbuna]

Like Djokovic vs Federer :doh:

Right again Jim :up:

I have that picture in one of my Napoleonic reference books.

[Betonov]

Napoleon was there so I believe you :)

[Jimbuna]

Easy one....who is this?

http://i.imgur.com/VfS8hW9.jpg

[Jimbuna]

Napoleon was there so I believe you :)

Not Napoleon I but his nephew and heir Napoleon III :know:

[Betonov]

Like I said, Napoleon :O:


Elizabeth Taylor ??

[Eichhörnchen]

Marlene Dietrich?

[Jimbuna]

Like I said, Napoleon :O:


Elizabeth Taylor ??

I reckon you meant Napoleon Solo :O:

Not her I'm afraid.

[Jimbuna]

Marlene Dietrich?

Nope but at least you both got the gender correct.

[Aktungbby]

BRITISH?

[Jimbuna]

Not a Brit.

[Catfish]

Bette Davis ?

[Aktungbby]

Those are NOT Bette Davis Eyes! :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPOIS5taqA8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPOIS5taqA8)! :smug:

[Eichhörnchen]

Bardot?

[u crank]

Sophia Loren.

[Jimbuna]

Bette Davis ?

Bardot?

Sophia Loren.

None of the above.

[Eichhörnchen]

Actress or singer?

[Aktungbby]

still living?

[Jimbuna]

Actress or singer?

Actress

still living?

Sadly, no.

I honestly thought the eyes were a dead giveaway.

[Betonov]

Audrey Hepburn

[Jimbuna]

Audrey Hepburn

Close

[Eichhörnchen]

Katherine Hepburn

[Jimbuna]

Katherine Hepburn

Nope but you have got the correct nationality.

[Eichhörnchen]

Grace Kelly?

[Jimbuna]

Nope but she did have an affair with someone famous.

[Aktungbby]

Nope but she did have an affair with someone famous. Spencer Tracy?

[Eichhörnchen]

Rita Hayworth?

[Moonlight]

Me thinks you are right Mr Squirrel, and this picture looks as though it could be the one that the image was taken from. :hmmm:

http://i.imgur.com/Mf0MVL1.jpg

[Jimbuna]

Rita Hayworth?

Correct :yeah:

Me thinks you are right Mr Squirrel, and this picture looks as though it could be the one that the image was taken from. :hmmm:

http://i.imgur.com/Mf0MVL1.jpg

Absolutely :yep:

Over to Eichhornchen

[Eichhörnchen]

http://i.imgur.com/KgKcm45.jpg

[Betonov]

Celtic or nordic jewelry

[Eichhörnchen]

Interesting guess and I can really see where you're coming from, but NO!

[Jimbuna]

A trophy or chalice?

[Eichhörnchen]

Neither of these

[Aktungbby]

ode to a Grecian Urn?

[Eichhörnchen]

NO...

I know what you're going to do now: you're all going to wait until this slips down the bottom of the page and I have to start giving clues, like you did with the Image Puzzle when it was my turn. It's a dirty trick, that's what it is....

No clues until I've had three more guesses.

[u crank]

Is it your fancy dress belt buckle? :D

[Eichhörnchen]

No, that's silver.

[Buddahaid]

The gold leaf moulding in King Obama Imperial washroom?

[Harvs]

The brass thingy that goes in front of a fireplace?

[Eichhörnchen]

No and no, so it's time for a clue. Jim thought it might be a trophy cup; well this wouldn't be everybody's idea of a first prize, although I would like it myself.

[Harvs]

Is that a push button in the middle?

[Eichhörnchen]

No there are no buttons on this

[Harvs]

Is a picture frame?

[Eichhörnchen]

http://i.imgur.com/KgKcm45.jpg

Could easily be couldn't it? But it's not.

[Jimbuna]

Mantlepiece?

[Eichhörnchen]

No, it's quite a small object compared to a mantlepiece

[Jimbuna]

Some sort of box?

[Herr-Berbunch]

A ring - but obviously not celtic or nordic. :03:

[Eichhörnchen]

It is some sort of box, Jim, and that is a ring there, though neither celtic or nordic as you point out, HB.

[Herr-Berbunch]

:doh: A boxing ring? :haha:

Any more clues?

[Harvs]

Snuff box?

[Eichhörnchen]

Not a boxing ring but it is a kind of metal box/container

[Catfish]

A cake package?
A victorian hat box?
A conductor's baton box?
S.U. carburettor's spare parts box?
An original Lucas electrics spare parts cable-smoke-in-a-glass container, in a box? :O:

This could be a box for everything under the sun :)

[Eichhörnchen]

You're only allowed one guess at a time, so I have to take the first; no it's not.

But it does contain food.

[Betonov]

fancy cigar box

[Oberon]

Princess Mary tin? :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

Not a cigar tin.

The Princess Mary tin was a good guess but not correct either; when I went shooting as an Army Cadet, a senior NCO I knew used one of these to keep his .303 bits & bobs in, such as the little bottle of 'blacking', which was painted on the foresight to eliminate glare.

[Jimbuna]

Biscuit tin?

[Eichhörnchen]

Not biscuits

[Harvs]

Chocolate tin ?

[Eichhörnchen]

No chocolate in it. Some people hate this stuff but I love it.

[Betonov]

Snuff tin

[Eichhörnchen]

No not snuff.

Last clue: The container my friend used for his rifle shooting kit was the Princess Mary tin box, not this one. This one can only be used once.

[Catfish]

"Eat my bullets"
A food container, obviously :O:

[Eichhörnchen]

Yes

[Harvs]

Licorice tin?

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope. You lot are going to go mad...

http://i.imgur.com/KgKcm45.jpg

[Catfish]

^ I'm far beyond that :hmph:

:timeout::har::woot: :yep:


A cake package, not .. too big.

[Eichhörnchen]

I know you know I like cake, but it's not cake. Not even a small one.

[Aktungbby]

from the 1800's

[Eichhörnchen]

20th Century

[Jimbuna]

Sardines or Pilchards.

[Eichhörnchen]

Afraid not

[Eichhörnchen]

This is getting pretty desperate. So far we've had sardines and pilchards, cake, snuff, licorice, mantlepieces, belt buckles and Lucas Electrics spare parts cable-smoke-in-a-glass-container, in a box (wtf?)

These are mere trifles; it is difficult to overestimate the importance of this thing to present-day civilization and society. And the answer is literally staring you in the face...

[Herr-Berbunch]

And the answer is literally staring you in the face...

My phone? :o

[Betonov]

Urn

[Oberon]

LCD monitor? :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

No, no and no.

Is this where it ends? I feel like I'm pressing down on a pillow...

[Catfish]

Spam :sunny:

Spam? :hmmm:

Hmm maybe not, too small :oops:

[Herr-Berbunch]

Let's push for another clue, maybe which decade of the 20th Century?

But in the mean time, TV?

[Eichhörnchen]

LoVe It Or HaTe It, YoU jUsT cAn'T iGnOrE iT...

http://i.imgur.com/4SqxbII.jpg DUH!



Well done, Catfish! :har::yeah:

[Betonov]

http://www.blogcdn.com/massively.joystiq.com/media/2011/10/facepalm.jpg

To be honest, best one yet :)

[Harvs]

A bloody spam tin :/\\!!

[Jimbuna]

I enjoyed that :)

[Aktungbby]

That was fun! I was headed in the misdirection of the canned stuff that killed the Terror and Erebus crews in the Artic expedition from lead poisoned solder...not that 'other terror of the frozen wasteland" Austin, Minnesota:arrgh!: FOR our diehards: SPAM Museum to reopen in a new location in Austin in May 2016. Until then, official SPAM souvenirs can be purchased at Games People Play, a team apparel business, on the north edge of town at 701 18th Ave. NW. Admission: Free Status: In Transition; :subsim: reunion location anybody?

[Eichhörnchen]

http://i.imgur.com/XOQzRgV.jpg And you of all people should have guessed it! :haha:

I thought Catfish had been at some bad 'shrooms there for a while, but he came good in the end...

[Catfish]

And to think he even had it as his avatar :dead:


ok, here's the next one:


http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/penaeus/IMG_zpstkeqw5p8.jpg (http://s5.photobucket.com/user/penaeus/media/IMG_zpstkeqw5p8.jpg.html)

[Eichhörnchen]

And to think he even had it as his avatar :dead:

It was "hiding in plain sight", as the saying goes.

Is this object from Science Fiction?

[Catfish]

It looks like, doesn't it ? :D

No, however it may have been inspired by such. Or by anything that looks like it.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it a vacuum cleaner?

[Catfish]

You do seem to have strange vacuum cleaners, in the UK :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it found in the home?

[Catfish]

Not in mine :)
And very seldomly, in others. Most probably nowhere.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it in an engineering workshop?

[Catfish]

^ Not this one now. But i am sure it has been there, now and then.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it part of a transport (plane, car, boat etc)?

[Harvs]

The intake from some form of land speed record vehicle?

[Catfish]

Is it part of a transport (plane, car, boat etc)?

Not a plane, car or boat. 'Transport', well yes. Depends on what :)

[Catfish]

The intake from some form of land speed record vehicle?

Intake and vehicle yes, not record for sure :haha:

[Jimbuna]

A train?

[Catfish]

Not a train either. But a land transport alright :)

[Eichhörnchen]

That looks like a large spring underneath, something like you'd see on a motorbike?

[Catfish]

I don't even know if it is a spring there, but could be :hmmm:
Yes, it is a kind of motorbike.

[Eichhörnchen]

A snowmobile?

[Catfish]

Not very good in snow i believe :yep:
And as said before it is a motorbike, just a bit more exact, please.
(Not make and model, will be unknown to most)

[Catfish]

Ok, so it does not get too boring:
It is a motorbike, and it is a scooter.

But now you have to find out which type it is :hmph:

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it vintage or modern?

[Jimbuna]

Lambretta?

[Catfish]

It is "vintage", but not a Lambretta :cool:

[Jimbuna]

Is it American in origin?

[Eichhörnchen]

A German make?

[Catfish]

German make, yes. Post war (ww2)

[Eichhörnchen]

http://i.imgur.com/j8jUmVB.jpg

It took me one hell of a long time to find this, but I couldn't get a caption so don't know what it's called; if you look at the enlarged image then the name on the front coaming looks something like "WALBA" (?)

[Catfish]

YES!!! Congrats!! This sure wasn't easy!
The company is called Faka Roller.

[Harvs]

I can see now that it definitely is not the intake of a land speed record vehicle, not even if it was going downhill :haha:

[Buddahaid]

I can see now that it definitely is not the intake of a land speed record vehicle, not even if it was going downhill :haha:

That depends on the scale.....

I saw the running board(s) in the "spinner" reflection but couldn't find anything remotely close. Another fun one even if I didn't participate.

[Eichhörnchen]

http://i.imgur.com/abVPU3x.jpg You'll be sorry now... what's this?

[Betonov]

A scene from JJ Abrams Star Trek

[Eichhörnchen]

No, not that, although it's clearly a stellar image.

[MantiBrutalis]

Is it really really tiny, or really realky big?

[Eichhörnchen]

That depends: in relation to the universe I suppose it would be called impossibly tiny; in relation to a galaxy less so; in relation to our solar system even less so but still very small. Nevertheless some people might call it big, but I wouldn't.

[Jimbuna]

Mars?

[u crank]

Is this object on planet earth?

[Eichhörnchen]

Mars no;

on planet Earth yes.

[Betonov]

Fetus

[Eichhörnchen]

Nah, it's not one of them.

That's just reminded me of a joke now; I'll just pop over to the joke thread...

[Catfish]

Hi,
sorry for being late, was not at home yesterday. Here is the photo of the scooter (Name is Walba, or Faka):
http://cybermotorcycle.com/euro/brands/faka.htm


http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/penaeus/Faka_zpsmram1kth.jpg (http://s5.photobucket.com/user/penaeus/media/Faka_zpsmram1kth.jpg.html)

[Eichhörnchen]

So if you rode it through a muddy puddle you'd have a dirty Walba (sorry... English joke)

[Catfish]

Hmm, photo from the Hubble telescope ? :hmmm:

[Catfish]

... (sorry... English joke)

No need to be sorry, i do not understand it anyway :D

[Eichhörnchen]

Not taken from Hubble.

[Aktungbby]

Does it wear plastic heels and spin around?

[Eichhörnchen]

http://i.imgur.com/abVPU3x.jpg It's not in a disco, if that's what you mean.

A major clue to the answer will shine through in the title and content of one of my first threads.

[Aktungbby]

Genevieve's décolletage:huh: in Swashbuckler?:arrgh!: http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/sex/t15206.gif:o :doh:

[Eichhörnchen]

Nope: it neither spins around nor does it bounce up and down.

http://i.imgur.com/ZSbMSOg.jpg Here's a pictorial clue; although you still must tell me what's in the original picture, this one shows you something else associated with it.

[Jimbuna]

They look like pool balls.

[Betonov]

Here's a longshot

Willie Thorne

[Eichhörnchen]

They're not pool balls, so Betonov you are wrong as well.

A further clue: this appeared in every episode of a major TV series and at least one of these other objects in the clue-picture usually featured as well.

[Buddahaid]

It's those red balls generating that collect escapees in The Prisoner.

[Eichhörnchen]

http://i.imgur.com/abVPU3x.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ZSbMSOg.jpg

Afraid not

[Jimbuna]

Danger Man?

[Eichhörnchen]

http://i.imgur.com/ZLD85Sj.jpg Not Danger Man. Here is a bit more of the picture; what is the thing at bottom left?

[Dowly]

Picard's stupid bald head?

[Eichhörnchen]

No it's not Pilchard's stupid bald head:haha:

[Jimbuna]

Lost In Space?

[Catfish]

Don't tell me it's Space: 1999 :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

Neither of these... the series ran in the 70's

[Betonov]

Krytens head from Red dwarf ??

[Eichhörnchen]

Not Kryten's head either, but I should admit that you and Dowly are getting warmer.

[Harvs]

The tv series Ufo?

[Buddahaid]

The tv series Ufo?

Damn I didn't get home fast enough and I don't have my login set up in my phone. UFO is my next guess too.

[Harvs]

Great show when i was a kid, i had a diecast interceptor and if you pushed the button on the front it fired the missle :D

[Eichhörnchen]

http://i.imgur.com/99ot4FR.jpg No sweat: it wasn't UFO either... Dowly was the first one to actually really get near this

[Catfish]

Had already thought of Straker and SHADO, so it's not it ? :hmmm:

[Catfish]

Startrek. :hmph:

[Betonov]

Star Trek the animated series

The picture is the front of the warp nacelle and I think the pool balls give the clue to uniform color

If I'm not mistaken :O:

[Harvs]

Someone elses stupid bald head?

[Eichhörnchen]

Not Gerry Anderson and not Star Trek.

I agreed at the start that this was a "stellar image", but I can't think why for the life of me you all believed it must have something to do with Outer Space? There are two contexts to the word "stellar", and I meant the informal one.

So it looks like Harvs is the warmest now...

[Jimbuna]

Minnie Me?

[Eichhörnchen]

No, not him. This feels strangely familiar :hmmm:

[Catfish]

Hmm, on stage, a live concert? Mark Knopfler? :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

http://i.imgur.com/ZLD85Sj.jpg No... look at the clues

[Harvs]

Not pool balls but snooker balls ?

[Betonov]

Major TV serie from late 70's that is not in space but ahs a star in it and probably Patrick Stewart....

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy ???

[Eichhörnchen]

http://i.imgur.com/abVPU3x.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ZSbMSOg.jpg Not snooker balls.

Not Patrick Stewart either but otherwise you're right on track, Betonov. The TV series started in 1973.

[Moonlight]

Kojak
http://i.imgur.com/whl8RF3.jpg

[Eichhörnchen]

To be precise, Kojak's crazy bald head!

http://i.imgur.com/a0jShQQ.jpg (and these)

I figured if I got you sci-fi fans on the hook I could sit back and watch it run around in ever-decreasing circles. Well done, Moonlight!

[Moonlight]

Woohoo I'm a winner, you had me going nuts with that one Mr Squirrel, I was thinking of a British person and TV series, 1970's and bald it had to be Kojak, well done Mum.

What is this?
http://i.imgur.com/kBlg3EE.jpg

[Aktungbby]

I used to watch it on the Telly?!!!I still munch these in tribute:http://www.todayifoundout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tootsie-pop-340x275.jpg (http://www.todayifoundout.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tootsie-pop.jpg)WHO luvs ya BBY?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8hbUqhKM38 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8hbUqhKM38) :03:

[Jimbuna]

A piece of old junk? :)

A stirrup?

[Eichhörnchen]

Was this attached to animals?

I used to watch it on the Telly?!!!

I so wanted to use the word Telly, but it would've been a dead giveaway...

[Aktungbby]

I so wanted to use the word Telly, but it would've been a dead giveaway... Very funny! http://image2.findagrave.com/photos/2001/222/savalastelly.jpg

His real monument is at the Sheraton Universal where he lived, with his wife and kids, for 20+ years; the bar doing poorly he offered a$$sitance and They named the bar after him, and it's still called "Telly's" to this day. Even though Savalas had no financial stake in the bar, he spent a lot of time there, happily meeting with the public - who were always surprised to see a major star watching TV in the hotel lounge...in his slippers! http://articles.latimes.com/1994-01-25/local/me-15026_1_telly-savalas (http://articles.latimes.com/1994-01-25/local/me-15026_1_telly-savalas) But I digress: @ Moonlight: Old tent peg??:D

[Moonlight]

Three guesses so far, all No.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it from a ship or boat?

[Jimbuna]

Part of a weapon?

[Moonlight]

That's another No and No, let me know when you want a clue. :)

[Jimbuna]

Now would be nice.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it agricultural?

[Moonlight]

Ii's not got anything to do with agriculture.

It's a specially made device to stop people from entering somewhere.

[Herr-Berbunch]

It's quite obviouly a chastity belt. An old rusty one, but still... :D

[Moonlight]

Yup, that clue made it too easy, your turn HB.

http://i.imgur.com/7007NjI.jpg

[Herr-Berbunch]

http://i.imgur.com/i35eXsi.jpg

I think this will be over with quickly, I'm quite predictable, and they've been quite tricky of late. :88)

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it an insect's bum?

[Jimbuna]

A flying machine of some description?

[Herr-Berbunch]

It's not an insect, and it is a flying machine (they go up-diddly-up-up, they go down-diddly-down-down).

If anyone is going to get it it's the old 'Buna. :o

http://i.imgur.com/i35eXsi.jpg

[Eichhörnchen]

It looks like part of the SR71 "Blackbird"

[Herr-Berbunch]

You are correct, it does look a bit like that. But it isn't. :O:

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it military?

[Herr-Berbunch]

It is military.

[Eichhörnchen]

American?

[Herr-Berbunch]

British.

[Herr-Berbunch]

British. I thought it'd be easier than this.

[Jimbuna]

A fast jet?

[Dowly]

Blackburn Buccaneer?

[Jimbuna]

I reckon so...the tail...

http://i.imgur.com/stHVZ3X.jpg

[Moonlight]

I would say that this is the original image it was cropped from.
http://i.imgur.com/qovzPuD.jpg

[Dowly]

I am off for the weekend and Moonlight's photo very much confirms my guess, so I post mine already:

What (specifically) is this?
http://i.imgur.com/xVKD7O0.jpg

Hint: it is part of something bigger.

[Herr-Berbunch]

Well done Dowly, and Moonlight - that is the pic. :yeah:

[Catfish]

I am off for the weekend and Moonlight's photo very much confirms my guess, so I post mine already:

Motorcycle? Harley ?

[Eichhörnchen]

Sshhh! He's away for the whole weekend; if we don't post, he'll come back, see it's slipped right down to page three and give us big clues. I know how this works...:03:

[Dowly]

Motorcycle? Harley ?
Not a motorcycle.

http://i.imgur.com/xVKD7O0.jpg

[Eichhörnchen]

Hey, you're not supposed to be here 'til next week...:har:

Is that a UK number plate?

[Dowly]

Hey, you're not supposed to be here 'til next week...:har:

Is that a UK number plate?
If I'm going, I'm going tonight.

No, it's not a UK number plate.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is that part of a radiator grille showing at bottom-right?

[Dowly]

Is that part of a radiator grille showing at bottom-right?
It is not.

[Catfish]

Is it the taillight, and the tail of a car? :hmmm:

[Dowly]

Is it the taillight, and the tail of a car? :hmmm:
Nothing to do with cars.

[Jimbuna]

Clothing?

[Dowly]

Clothing?
Nope.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it from science-fiction?

[Dowly]

Is it from science-fiction?
It is not from Sci Fi.

[Catfish]

A building? Vaguely reminds me of those 20ieth Century Fox film intros :hmm2:

[Dowly]

A building? Vaguely reminds me of those 20ieth Century Fox film intros :hmm2:
Not a building. It's much smaller.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is that a gemstone?

[Dowly]

Is that a gemstone?It is a ruby, I believe.

http://i.imgur.com/xVKD7O0.jpg

[Catfish]

Crown jewels?

[Dowly]

Crown jewels?
Nope.

[Jimbuna]

Handbag?

[Dowly]

Handbag?
Not a handbag.

[Jimbuna]

Jewellery box?

[Dowly]

Jewellery box?
Nope.

[Jimbuna]

I reckon we could do with a clue.

[Dowly]

You can wear it.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it a crown of some kind?

[Dowly]

Is it a crown of some kind?
It is not.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it designer clothing, the kind that Harvs wears?

[Dowly]

Is it designer clothing, the kind that Harvs wears?
It is not clothing.

[Moonlight]

Is it only worn on special occasions?

[Dowly]

Is it only worn on special occasions?That's up to the wearer. I personally wouldn't wear it every day.

And with that, I'm off to get drunk for two days. Good luck. :salute:

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it from fiction (a movie or TV series)?

[Jimbuna]

A ring?

[Eichhörnchen]

(Looks like he went)

[Catfish]

Hi,
well Dowly said he's off to do some drinking, for two days. Plus 2 days hangover and two days recovery, I estimate the coming back of the comatose ferret not before thursday, 27th :O: :woot:

Hope he has fun! :)

[Eichhörnchen]

Well that's OK then: so long as there's a good reason for his absence I don't mind at all.

[Dowly]

It is not from fiction nor is it a ring.
http://i.imgur.com/xVKD7O0.jpg

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it a hat?

[Dowly]

It is not a hat.

[Moonlight]

Is it worn below the Waist?

[Dowly]

Is it worn below the Waist?
It is not.

[MantiBrutalis]

Pocket watch? (I that's what it's called in English)

[Dowly]

Pocket watch? (I that's what it's called in English)
It is not a pocket watch, but it is a watch.

[MantiBrutalis]

Do we need to get even more specific?

(I think somebody will have an answer very soon now, since we got pretty close)
