MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Cathy]

Serpentine design, built that way for extra strength.

[Tizer]

Some might call it `drunk brickie' but I don't think that's what you are looking for. Curly wurly?
I wonder where the boundary line lies?

[Stanley]

Yo are very very close Peter! I'll let it run one more day. Clue, thank of scrunching a piece of paper up.

[chinatyke]

Crinkle Crankle I think, I've seen one in Norfolk or Suffolk somewhere...

Hasn't Big Kev got it right?

[Stanley]

He has! Thanks China, I missed the post as it was on the previous page. Sorry about that Kev but exactly right, 'Crinkle Crankle'
Next for shaving?

[Cathy]

What about my offer?

[Stanley]

Same as Gloria's earlier Cathy but yes, to make a thin wall stronger.

[Stanley]

What can you tell me about this creature?

[Gloria]

Well, it’s a lion, is it used in an advert for something?

[Cathy]

He looks deep in thought and very well groomed.

[Stanley]

Not an advert, a far more interesting reason.
I thought that as well Cathy but of course it's a painting not a photograph.

[Marilyn]

My star sign...
(Calm, regal, tolerant and considered....but gosh I can give you a swipe if I think you need one)

[Tizer]

Was it painted by someone special - like one of your relatives?

[plaques]

Cecil the lion which was shot by a dentist.

[Gloria]

Was it painted by Prince Charles?

[Marilyn]

My star sign...
(Calm, regal, tolerant and considered....but gosh I can give you a swipe if I think you need one)

Worry not. I am married to a Scorpion, and he has a bigger sting than me...( and a longer memory...and a bigger hit list..)

[plaques]

Mine's Libra so on balance I think I'm correct unless I've got my blindfold on.

[Marilyn]

Oooohhh...same as Cazza. ( how do you go with decision making? Because there are so many decisions to be made in life. Always balancing the scales...yet Libras have the wisdom that I lack, and I respect that. I think they are more ancient than us proud Lions.)
Whenever I have had a problem that I pass through Cazza, she comes at it from a completely different angle - never one I have thought of.

[PanBiker]

I think it is either Cecil or a Barbary Lion which has recently become extinct as a species.

[Stanley]

I suspect Ken knew but was keeping stum. Ian has voiced it and he's right. The Barbary Lion, which is now extinct. (LINK)
Next one please.

[Stanley]

It's a very beautiful kitchen knife with a Damascene pattern forged into it. Can you tell me the name for this pattern?

[Wendyf]

No idea really but could it be Foxtail?

[Tizer]

Wootz?

[Stanley]

Sorry no, but Wendy is on the right track.
Peter. Wootz was a form of very ancient steel produced in India before we had cracked the secret of making it and was exported in small cakes, it could only be made in very small quantities and was very valuable. (LINK)

[Tizer]

Sorry no, but Wendy is on the right track.
..and was exported in small cakes, it could only be made in very small quantities and was very valuable. (LINK)

Sounds like Mrs Tiz's superb rock buns!
