Who / What / Where Game Part 2

[Eichhörnchen]

A Nazi hover-mower?

[Catfish]

Lol no.

OT I guess the Daleks in Dr. Who are intended to depict germans :D

[Aktungbby]

did it have an engine?

[Catfish]

I do not know which kind but it has to

[Aktungbby]

piston or jet?

[Catfish]

Unknown.

[Eichhörnchen]

This is a piece of Science-Fiction yes?

[Catfish]

Oh yes

[Eichhörnchen]

British Sci-Fi?

[Catfish]

No. (Read the initial question ;) )

[Eichhörnchen]

Oh yes... I saw that, then forgot it :haha:
German TV?

[Catfish]

Yes, again ;)
Not only though, but not in the UK i think.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it based on a novel?

[Aktungbby]

Raumpatrouille?

[Catfish]

Is it based on a novel?
No.

Raumpatrouille?
Yes. But what is it?

[Jimbuna]

Orion?

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/r4UUbhL.jpeg Raum-robot

[Ostfriese]

https://i.imgur.com/r4UUbhL.jpeg Raum-robot


I think this should count. Catfish's picture shows the "Konservenknilch", the tin can schmuck.
Raumpatrouille was a great series, even though it had a low budget (irons, watertaps and wahing mashine controls as props) and ended after only seven episodes.


https://blog.hnf.de/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Orion-Roboter.jpg

[Catfish]

@Jim the TV series was sometimes also called Raumpatrouille Orion for the name of the "Raumkreuzer" being used, but the picture is not from the Orion.

https://i.imgur.com/r4UUbhL.jpeg Raum-robot
Eichörnchen got it! Yes, your picture is one of the robots that ran amok due to re-programming.
Over to Eichhörnchen :salute:

Thanks Ostfriese for posting the original picture I used :)
Raumpatrouille was also aired in France. Had the series been broadcasted in full colour, it would have been a good competition for Startrek, whose scenery mostly took place in a plush living room. The whole Startrek background created by Gene Roddenberry was however much more modern and advanced, with a very scientific and humanistic touch, an 'alien' Spock as first officer and a female Uhura as the communications officer.
In Raumpatrouille there was an "Amt fuer Weltraumfragen" :haha:

[Aktungbby]

:O:...but any time I can lead Eich to the 'promised land'...my mission is accomplished!:yeah::arrgh!::Kaleun_Thumbs_Up: :Kaleun_Applaud: :Kaleun_Cheers: :Kaleun_Party:

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/tPlD4UI.jpeg I'll beam something down later

[Catfish]

Whack!

[Eichhörnchen]

:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

https://i.imgur.com/HdTl5qy.jpeg What's this then?

[Jimbuna]

A case?

[Eichhörnchen]

It ts a case, you might say

[Jimbuna]

Any connection to music?

[Catfish]

Glove compartment / glovebox?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Jim:- no, not in this case :haha:

@ Kai:- no

[Ostfriese]

It ts a case, you might say


Coming from you it's probably a nut case :D

[Jimbuna]

Any connection to a household appliance?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Osty:- I try :yep:

@ Jim:- it is linked to a household appliance

[Jimbuna]

Tape recorder?

[Eichhörnchen]

^
Nope

[Ostfriese]

Front/door of an oven?

[Jimbuna]

Television?

[Catfish]

Radio?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Osty:- no

@ Jim:- getting very warm

@ Kai:- no

[Catfish]

Video recorder?

[Eichhörnchen]

^
Nope

https://i.imgur.com/un6Veox.jpeg - Here's scrap no.1


https://i.imgur.com/H2XX8xj.jpeg - Here's scrap no.2

[Ostfriese]

Some sort of video game?

[Eichhörnchen]

^
No, but if it was then I'd buy it

CLUE: It represents a form of entertainment (some would say)

[Eichhörnchen]

Clue:

https://i.imgur.com/fyoH79P.jpeg

[Catfish]

Vintage stereo home entertainment gear?
Like stereophonic radiogram with or without turntable?

[Eichhörnchen]

It's definitely vintage in style

https://i.imgur.com/DYkiHRv.jpeg

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/iiK5d5O.jpeg Clues Galore!

[Catfish]

So what you see on the screen is not a tv program. What DO you see?
Since you said it is not a vintage 'video' game either, what is to be seen on it when it is a home device :hmmm:

Something to do with health (care) ?

[Eichhörnchen]

^
Nothing to do with healthcare :D

https://i.imgur.com/xE20Hwq.jpeg

[Catfish]

But it has a screen displaying something.
?
:D

[Eichhörnchen]

Clue: This does not have an electrical plug yet its use requires electricity - does that help? No?

[Catfish]

Some kind of observation device?

[Eichhörnchen]

But it has a screen displaying something.
?
:D
Looks that way, doesn't it?

And it's not an observation device

[Aktungbby]

Does it have a volume control?

[Eichhörnchen]

^ Nope


https://i.imgur.com/5KQuHEb.jpeg - this looks like it might be a volume control but it really isn't

[Eichhörnchen]

I need to hit the sack - can't stay awake any longer waiting for the votes to come in or for you guys to solve this puzzle. But I feel safe enough to give you another huge clue before I go - maybe you can cut them out and make like it's a jigsaw :haha:

https://i.imgur.com/agbtfjY.jpeg

[Aktungbby]

is it customarily in a livingroom?

[Eichhörnchen]

^
Yes, for most people

Here's another part of it - if I showed more now then it would be giveaway time:

https://i.imgur.com/kBV4SC2.jpeg

[Eichhörnchen]

Clue: This thing is not what it purports to be

[Catfish]

Some caleidoscope, or bathing the room in colours?
So this is in every living room, in England? :D

[Ostfriese]

A bookshelf that looks like a TV.

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Kai:- that would be a strange thing, wouldn't it - which is why it isn't that :haha:

@ Osty:- you are getting very close :)


https://i.imgur.com/Ufqe4h6.jpeg This final clue should clinch it for someone

[Jimbuna]

Camera?

[Eichhörnchen]

^
Nope

[Ostfriese]

Dick van Dyke Show DVD Box?

[Catfish]

^ that should be it lol

https://www.ebay.com/p/45173567

I just wonder what the electrical component is :hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/brgqrRs.jpeg Every home should have one!


@ Kai:-
Clue: This does not have an electrical plug yet its use requires electricity - and a DVD player plugged into the mains :03::yep:

[Ostfriese]

Well, I'll think of something, give me some time.

[Ostfriese]

OK, guys, what's this?


https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=1443&pictureid=13598

[Eichhörnchen]

Is this a view of something under a microscope?

[Ostfriese]

Is this a view of something under a microscope?


No.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it rock?

[Jimbuna]

A tree?

[Catfish]

edible? :o :doh:

[Ostfriese]

Is it rock?


No.


A tree?


No.



edible? :o :doh:


Yes!

[Catfish]

Is that aluminium wrapper in the upper part?

[Jimbuna]

Christmas cake?

[Eichhörnchen]

An ice cream cone?

[Ostfriese]

Is that aluminium wrapper in the upper part?


It's not. However,...


Christmas cake?


I think that's close enough:
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=1443&pictureid=13599


It's of course a Stollen, one of the most famous Christmas Cakes/Breads in the world. Some (like me) love it, others despise it (which is ok as well).


Over to Jimbuna.

[Eichhörnchen]

^
We always make sure we have Stollen - wouldn't be Christmas without it :Kaleun_Applaud:

[Aktungbby]

We always make sure we have Stollen - wouldn't be Christmas without it I thought the Grinch had Stollen Christmas??! https://i5.walmartimages.com/seo/16-inch-tall-Festive-Fence-Sitters-Dr-Seuss-the-Grinch-as-Santa-Christmas-Decoration_b25c03ae-5cb6-4b84-a594-ecd80ebed45c.d9ea15e2ca660bb75485a0b6b659a34f.jpeg ?odnHeight=768&odnWidth=768&odnBg=FFFFFF

[Jimbuna]

What is this?

https://i.postimg.cc/ncsWH28v/blob.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Eichhörnchen]

Bank of England (been in the news today)?

[Jimbuna]

Not in London but further north.

[Aktungbby]

in Northumbria?:06:

[Jimbuna]

In the county of Tyne & Wear

[Aktungbby]

R U shire of that?:D::shucks:

[Jimbuna]

Most definitely :)

CLUE: Had a few fights inside over the years.

[Aktungbby]

...didn't this site get posted previously?:timeout:

[Eichhörnchen]

Magistrates courts?

[Jimbuna]

...didn't this site get posted previously?:timeout:

Certainly not by me.

[Jimbuna]

Magistrates courts?

For what goes on in there and still does it would be well suited.

CLUE: Always enjoyed a shift in here because whilst it cost the public a fortune I was at least getting paid.

[Eichhörnchen]

Newcastle City Hall?

[Jimbuna]

Spot on and over to you :salute:

https://i.postimg.cc/RZfSWpVc/Newcastle-City-Hall-in-2018.jpg (https://postimg.cc/v4YFjznB)

[Ostfriese]

I admit that my information about central and northern England is way too limited to find out something like that :D

[Aktungbby]

/\ It's Jimbuna's only claim to being a 'pillar of the community'!:haha:

[Eichhörnchen]

^
"Wey Aye, man!" :haha:

https://i.imgur.com/t14nm3H.jpeg What's this? (Clue: not in the North of England)

https://i.imgur.com/4dXBWON.jpeg Here's a bit more

[Ostfriese]

What's this? (Clue: not in the North of England)


Yay!
I still have no clue :doh:


Looks like a button, though.

[Eichhörnchen]

^
I think it's more likely a dial than a button

[Aktungbby]

...anything to do with Dick van Dyke?:O:

[Eichhörnchen]

^
For once, no

[Buddahaid]

Your shower control?

Hanging out on Sunset Blvd this weekend. Looking for Ewoks…

[Eichhörnchen]

^
No - but it is someone else's

https://i.imgur.com/gmbgVye.jpeg PS: don't bother using Google Lens

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/Utm5gff.jpeg Here's another clue

[Catfish]

Adolf's bath, and faucet. And statue.
You crazy bugger :haha:

Bück dich, dann kannst du sie sehen. :D

[Eichhörnchen]

Bück dich, dann kannst du sie sehen. :D

:har:

[Jimbuna]

:haha:

[Catfish]

^ ^ lol

Ok where is this

https://i.postimg.cc/m27Z0F0K/deetale.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Eichhörnchen]

Orient Express (perhaps the dining car)?

[Catfish]

No, stationary.

[Eichhörnchen]

Is this in the White House?

[Catfish]

No, but there is a .. connection

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it one of Trump's rooms at Mar-a-Lago?

[Catfish]

Hit! But not Mar a Lago..

[Eichhörnchen]

Trump Tower?

[Catfish]

Trump Tower?
Yes it is! Donald Trump's gold apartment, " [...] overlooks Central Park from the top three floors of Trump Tower in New York – floors 66 to 68 – and was decorated to emulate the Palace of Versailles, decked out in 24-carat gold, marble and mirrors."

Over to Eichhoernchen :salute:

[Eichhörnchen]

https://i.imgur.com/FpLAWT6.jpeg What does this show?

[Catfish]

Some kind of dial?

[Eichhörnchen]

^
No - and this one will be almost impossible to get :)

https://i.imgur.com/XmAg6x1.jpeg

[Aktungbby]

made of iron?

[Jimbuna]

A bell?

[Ostfriese]

Something you wear on your fingers?

[Eichhörnchen]

^
All three of you - no!

[Catfish]

Military?

[Eichhörnchen]

^
Yes - and perhaps I was a tad mean not to admit that Osty was a little warmer than the others

[Ostfriese]

Some sort of armor, then?

[Eichhörnchen]

^
Nope

[Jimbuna]

A seal?

[Catfish]

Something to do with carrier pigeons?

[Eichhörnchen]

Jim and Catfish - no

[Catfish]

What i think i see is some domed rubber material with textile straps, somehow vulcanized together. True?

[Aktungbby]

https://i.imgur.com/FpLAWT6.jpeg What does this show? do they come in pairs?
:D

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Catfish:- yes

@ Aktung:- yes

https://i.imgur.com/kf0dGKv.jpeg

[Catfish]

Kneepads? :D

[Aktungbby]

used in WWII?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Catfish:- no

@ Aktung:- yes

https://i.imgur.com/AfXKuTI.jpeg

[Catfish]

Something to tie on shoes?

[Eichhörnchen]

^
Yes - but what for?

[Aktungbby]

British?

[Ostfriese]

Weights for divers' shoes?

[Catfish]

"something" with spikes for winter ? I would not know how to call this though.

[Eichhörnchen]

^
@ Aktung:- yes

@ Osty:- no, but there is a connection with the sea

@ Catfish:- no

[Catfish]

Only toe caps, or does it cover the whole shoe?

Belay that

These overshoes were made for Britain’s Special Operations Executive (SOE) agents operating in Asia and the Pacific during WWII. When the agent landed on a beach from the sea, the “footprints” were intended to fool the Japanese into thinking that he was a barefoot native.

[Eichhörnchen]

^
How did you do that?!

https://i.imgur.com/PWpxFcZ.jpeg And anyway, shouldn't you be working today?

[Catfish]

^
How did you do that?!
First I did not know the word "overshoes', that was the keyword. Second an indirect contact to former SOE officer, they were also busy in G.
And anyway, shouldn't you be working today?
Lol seriously I thought but we are always detached in the last second, which is really bad for planning ;)

[Eichhörnchen]

These would be great for burglars - and I think if you put them on back to front that would cause even more confusion:yep:

[Jimbuna]

Nice one and well done Kai.

[Catfish]

These would be great for burglars - and I think if you put them on back to front that would cause even more confusion:yep:
Yes, someone already made this proposal of going backwards :D But the footprint was probably too big for an asian foot

@Jim yes this was nice

ok what is this?

The Witty Sea Slug That Steals Genes To Act As A Plant?

[Aktungbby]

the lettuce in my cobb salad:Kaleun_Salivating:

[Catfish]

the lettuce in my cobb salad:Kaleun_Salivating:
No..

The Witty Sea Slug That Steals Genes To Act As A Plant?
I do not know whether it steals genes, but may well be ... so what is the name of this slug?

[Aktungbby]

...methinks I'll wittily avoid slugging it out with Jymbo; wouldn't want to deprive him of glorious victory!:shucks:

[Eichhörnchen]

.. so what is the name of this slug?

Colin?

[Catfish]

Colin?
I can't ask, I just saw the photo :hmmm: (the scientific name, please)
Maybe you could ask her when she's poking along somewhere at the east coast of the USA, or Canada ..

If no one else chimes in until this evening, this goes to Jim :salute:

Lol seriously I thought but we are always detached in the last second, which is really bad for planning ;)...in the end, we are all detached in the last second; but fortunately, eternity requires no planning...:timeout:

[Catfish]

^ :haha:
...no doubt a baleen type whale considers it salad!
This would be a very flat(tened) whale :O:
"This species [Elysia chlorotica] is most commonly found in salt marshes, tidal marshes, pools, and shallow creeks, at depths of 0 m to 0.5 m."
Maybe one could find one in the puddles of the Champs-Elysées
...in the end, we are all detached in the last second; but fortunately, eternity requires no planning...:timeout:
Some evangelical tv preachers might disagree, you have to give them your money first :yep:

Roman?

Yes and I thought when I posted it that you were favourite to find what it is.

[Catfish]

^ but but the romans have been everywhere :)
In Rome?

[Jimbuna]

^ but but the romans have been everywhere :)
In Rome?

True but I still believe it is an area of interest as far as your concerned,

CLUE: Not in Rome or Italy either.

[Catfish]

Ok - Germany?

[Jimbuna]

Nope :)

[Catfish]

Ok - France?

[Jimbuna]

Nope :)

[Catfish]

England? Wall in Londinium?

[Eichhörnchen]

Arbeia, South Shields

[Jimbuna]

England? Wall in Londinium?

Not in England.

CLUE: A country in Europe.

[Jimbuna]

Arbeia, South Shields

I done Arbeia in an earlier one Glynn.

CLUE: Said country is popular with Brit tourists.

[Aktungbby]

Belgium?

[Jimbuna]

Nope :)

[Aktungbby]

Holland?

[Jimbuna]

Can't be many european countries left now :)

Junkers Ju-52

[Catfish]

@Aktung almost, but no (see open cockpit)

Junkers F-13?
This the one, world's first all-metal passenger plane, with a heated four-passenger cabin. Not for the pilots though.. but most of them were WW1 fliers and used to this anyway ;)

Fossil of a dinosaur?

@ Osty and Jim:- no to both, although it is old

An ancient turd?

[Catfish]

So, part of a skeleton but not a skull?

[Eichhörnchen]

Not part of a skeleton

https://i.imgur.com/IhUD9ey.jpeg A clue for you

[Jimbuna]

Part of a burial shroud?

[Eichhörnchen]

^
No but very close - and connected to a person of high status

[Aktungbby]

British royalty?

[Jimbuna]

Last century?

[Eichhörnchen]

@ Aktung:- The person this is believed to belong to was indeed British Royalty of a particular dynasty

@ Jim:- No

https://i.imgur.com/KuHdvdA.jpeg If you've seen this before then you'll know it now

[Jimbuna]

Anglo Saxon?

[Eichhörnchen]

Yessir

[Aktungbby]

Sutton Hoo's East Anglian "king' Raedwald?

[Eichhörnchen]

^
... Is the right answer!

https://i.imgur.com/bOdnsqI.jpeg

The mystical face of the Dark Ages - the helmet belonging to an ancient British king of the Wuffingas Dynasty - commonly believed to be Raedwald - buried with great honour and treasure at Sutton Hoo in East Anglia

I live in East Anglia but have never been to the site, I'm ashamed to say


Over to you, Vinny :yep:

[Aktungbby]

I knew immediately I'd seen it before, but I had to realign the grey-matter to recollect where. Jimbuna's "Anglo Saxon?" simply snapped it in 'promised land' place! IE: I've actually seen it on my visits to the British Museum?:yeah: :timeout: :hmmm: I'll return with something suitably British shortly.:03:

[Aktungbby]

What's this?https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/picture.php?albumid=815&pictureid=13601

[Eichhörnchen]

Well it ain't British, that's for sure :haha:

[Aktungbby]

...don't bet on that!:hmmm:

[Eichhörnchen]

Is it a parakeet?

[Jimbuna]

New Britain Goshawk?

[Eichhörnchen]

Cah! Talk about stretching the truth - you'd have never let me get away with this, Aktung :haha:

[Aktungbby]

New Britain Goshawk?Talk 'bout flippn' the newly rediscovered bird'; as usual you've nailed it straightaway!:Kaleun_Salute:

Cah! Talk about stretching the truth - you'd have never let me get away with this, Aktung :haha::Kaleun_Goofy:Verisimilitude, from Trump's 'fake news' to Moses descending Sinaii, god-given tablets in hand, leading to the Gaza fiasco, is a very stretchy concept. A rediscovered photo'd New Britain Goshawk falls suitably somewhere amidships on the truth-spectrum!:/\\k::arrgh!::Kaleun_Party:

[Eichhörnchen]

"You ain't whistlin' Dixie" - as I think the American saying goes

[Aktungbby]

...being a history B.A. grad and Confederate re-enactor (9-years Col. 14th Tenn.) does that...:shucks: though "whistlin' Dixie" is impossible w/o 2 front teeth and no longer politically correct even as "ol' times are not forgot" even as we "look away"...in 21st century disgust.:oops::timeout::nope:

[Eichhörnchen]

Well with your new incumbent we are all increasingly wanting to "look away"

[Aktungbby]

Well with your new incumbent we are all increasingly wanting to "look away"ironically...pray that he doesn't get snuffed on his third attempt; as Vice President J.D Vance will then be incompetently responsible for all of our Hillbilly Elegys:wah:

[Catfish]

^... ^^^^ :har:

[Jimbuna]

An easy one by my reckoning.

What and where is this?

https://i.postimg.cc/Z58qLvB0/IMG-0877.jpg (https://postimages.org/)

[Aktungbby]

does it launch upwards from the vehicle?

[Jimbuna]

Upwards yes.

[Ostfriese]

V-1 on it's launch pad? Probably the one from the IWM in Duxford?

[Exocet25fr]

It seems a replica...

Medieval mortar?

[Ostfriese]

Medieval mortar?


Later., but "mortar" is not a bad direction.

[Aktungbby]

original or replica?

[Ostfriese]

original or replica?


As far as I know it's an original.

[Eichhörnchen]

ship's deck gun (cannon)?

[Jimbuna]

In the UK?

[Ostfriese]

ship's deck gun (cannon)?

It's actually the predecessor, the C/61 field cannon, but they are closely related. Both guns together formed the bulk of Prussian artillery during the 1860s and proved themselves vastly superior to anything the French could field during the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871.
