How about somewhere else? A free trip to the Seychelles - now ya talking!

Congratulations twice.

In that case Seychelles is also a possibillity. (I had to google-earth it

) Then it becomes a free walking/swimming tour. And because you are not everyone, you may borrow my kayak.

Please don't wait for me everyone. I'm way too busy this weekend and haven't had any time to look at it properly.

Please carry on without me. Sorry folks.

OK folks, it's official Lillie is the winner. Great job Lillie. And I want to thank everyone who participated. It's nice to know I'm not the only nut job here that can't remember anything. I no longer feel like a loser because I see I'm not the only one who gets more than 5 or 6 wrong. Maybe more.

I appreciate all the comments, I had fun working with Cathy and Robyn who also helped put it together but with ya'all chipping in the pics, you made it possible.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Sat May 10, 2008 7:24 pm

Well, except...mine isn't an Organ, it's an Electronic Keyboard (Piano).

They're the same thing, only different!

Congrats Lillie and thanks Robyn, Monica & Cathy. Lovely and fun Contest.

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Sat May 10, 2008 7:50 pm

Sorry Dizzy maybe if your nice to Robyn she'd fix that for you.

I'd like to thank the ones that gave me #02, but alas I have to give it back to Cathy. It's nice we all have something to occupy our time other than Wonderland.

I thought I would be easy with my plants, since I have mentioned I have a greenhouse, if you'd have enlarged the pic you'd a seen my little fishy in the corner. Then in the discussion 'Anything Goes' I mentioned I like to read Dean Koontz. Some of you just didn't do your homework. But if your like me you read and read but forget anyway.

I figured a lot would get Gen and Dizzy mixed up because of the music link to 'Tiny Dancer'.

Great job everybody.

And I was thinking I'm your funny Valentine on the other side of the pond

BTW I don't milk cows and such. I mow grass and drive a tractor with a self-loading forage wagon

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Sat May 10, 2008 9:10 pm

Next week I am really busy at work - Tues-Wed-Thurs. But after that I am off for four days and will start to get the ball rolling on the next comp if that is OK with everyone?

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Sat May 10, 2008 9:24 pm

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Sat May 10, 2008 9:45 pm

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Sat May 10, 2008 10:47 pm

Thanks Monica-ca-ca-ca-ca-ca!

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Sat May 10, 2008 11:01 pm

Congrats Lillie (she cheated ya know

)

I feel I need to explain....

The pic is of black pudding, which is something to eat yes. It's made of pig's blood, and various other things. Yummy.

The Ecky Thump thing is 'odd Brithish humour', involving dressing in flat cap and baggy trousers/pants with braces/suspenders and hitting each other with black puddings. It's a spoof on proper martial arts.

If you want to really understand it then look at this 3 part video of The Goodies from 1975.

It's not a real hobby of mine btw, I thought my real hobbies would have been a bit too obvious.

Sorry if everyone was totally flumoxed by it.

How many did get me btw, even by a process of elimination?

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Sun May 11, 2008 9:03 am

Even though I didn't have time to submit guesses, I'm familiar with the Northern Art of Ecky Thump! Eee bah goom! I remember that Goodies spoof - and it still has me rolling around laughing.

CONGRATULATIONS LILLIE!

You're always spot on with these contests!

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Sun May 11, 2008 11:25 am

A great big Congrats Lillie!!! you really do a super job with these contests!!!

Thanks Monica and Robyn I enjoyed doing this with you! I have to say when I received certain photos, it's a darn good thing others couldn't see my face. Especially with Popo's and Robyn's. I've not heard of blood pudding and her comment was, she wanted the big one

and Robyn's, well let's just say I really thought there was computer game called "troxxn"

She's soo bad.

I had alot of fun seeing what some of you wrote in your guesses. And I think there are alot of very talented people on the forum - well done to you all!!!

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Sun May 11, 2008 11:43 am

I think it's a lot of fun with these contests.

Thank you everyone, especially Cathy, Monica and Robyn.

But it's very hard to me as a newcomer who has trouble with reading and understanding English to guess, because I don't have read everything in the "anything goes" thread and such.

Beside that: After all I saw that about "Ecky Thump" something is on Wikipedia,

but how am I supposed to know that a sculpure of a pigeon, like a rooster on a tower spire something has to do with football?

And why is Germany no good country for volleybal?

Edit:

Do you see the red point top left? That's the tractor (Case-International 845) which I drive for the grass-mower or the self loading wagon. And the big black and white plastic places is where the dehydrated grass is stored. Mostly we mow one day and the next day when it's a bit dry we put it under plastic. Maybe in other countries they do it the same way? I'm not sure but just in case.
On the picture the tractor is now in front of the tank for the cowsh..

I mean dung (or brown-green-pudding

)

For volleyball maybe but not for beach volleyball, because we don't have this many (natural) beaches. And the weather isn't as good either. I guess it's better to live at the Mediterranean or in California or Australia with much more sun

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Sun May 11, 2008 12:28 pm

Yes, Seems it never rains in southern California (Albert Hammond) http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=XVP07Fg7frM
But you're welcome to play volleybal on the Dutch beaches

(Hope not every German loves beachvolleybal

)

Popo asked;

Well Popo only three got you wrong. I was surprised the way everyone people had it right, I never would have guessed. For me it would have been by process of elimination.

Everyone must think I wear flat cap and braces all the time then.

Congrats Lillie Billie

Thanks Cathy, Monica and Robyn for all the fun and your time.

The music sheet is mine. I love to sing jazz. In my younger days I did that in a Jazzband.

We do things differently in our neck of the woods, same type of concept, cut, dry and then gather it up. Every summer we mow the hay and bale it into square bales and then toss then up into the hayloft for the horses. Here is a picture of the type of baler we use:
