MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Gloria]

Tree bark???

[Wendyf]

The crust on a loaf of bread.

[Cathy]

Looks like some sort of rot. White Rot in/on wood.
( Is there such a thing?)

[Marilyn]

I think Wendy has it. ( mmmmmm....not really sure)

[elise]

The Barlick Shroud

[Marilyn]

There is a Barlick Shroud?
Wrapped around whom?

We must know.

Must put it on the list of places to visit.

[Tizer]

Look at the picture upside down.

[Marilyn]

Ah...yes, of course!
( thanks Tizer)
It is coming back to me now...

[Stanley]

You are all getting close with the vegetable origin. Sorry it's such a lousy pic.

[Gloria]

Potato peeling, turnip, swede?

[Cathy]

I can't imagine you making these Stanley but all I can see are Chocolate Rice Crackles, it looks like Copha on top.

[PostmanPete]

Is it the side of a swede..?

[Stanley]

It's such a lousy pic it would be cruel to let you struggle any longer. It's the cut face of a nutmeg. Try this one. What is it and what is it used for?



My hand seems to be steadier this morning!

[Gloria]

A ball bearing used between bearing races.

[David Whipp]

Special edition Metalic Malteser.

[Cathy]

How about a Special Edition Marble...

[Tizer]

One of Stanley's high-dose fish oil capsules.

[Stanley]

Not there yet Kids. Gloria, it's not steel so it wouldn't wear well in a bearing. Keep at it!
David, do you remember when Polo brought out a special edition purporting to be the centres punched out of Polo Mints? They looked like Tic Tacs and had to be withdrawn because they were being sold as Ecstasy on the street.

[David Whipp]

Can't think what the bronze ball thingy is, but have you noticed the shadow of the OGFB walking man on the backing cloth to the left...?

[Gloria]

Is it a ball stopper for inside a bottle? Don't know exactly what they are called.

David, the walking man has been there for ages, I really like it.

[Stanley]

No Gloria, I think he means the stain on the white background cloth. Could it be the Turin effect?

[Tizer]

I once visited the factory where they make Polo mints and saw the cut out centres being transported back up the line to be crushed and recycled into the process - some of it has probably been cycling round since the year dot!

[PostmanPete]

When I was a Policeman many years ago I remember arresting a one fingered pickpocket who used to specialise in stealing Polo mints......!

[Stanley]

Right, settle down at the back. Come on now, what would a phosphor bronze ball be used for?

[Big Kev]

Right, settle down at the back. Come on now, what would a phosphor bronze ball be used for?

In a non-return valve?
