MYSTERY OBJECTS

[PanBiker]

Is it one of those carpet savers that you put under furniture with castors?

[Gloria]

A marble on a plate?

[Stanley]

So close Ian, look at the size of it, you have it right, it's concave. Sorry no Gloria, it's one object not two.
I shan't let it hang about beyond this morning, I know how frustrating it is.

[Gloria]

Am I looking down into a tumbler type vessel?

[Stanley]

Yes! Now, what could it be with walls that thick......?

[Gloria]

Is it a mortar?

[PanBiker]

Good call I reckon Gloria.

[Stanley]

Yes Gloria, well done. It's a wooden Mortar for grinding spices etc.
Next one?

[Gloria]

Where are these walls.

[Stanley]

I'm not sure but they don't look like walls from our neck of the woods. Not enough throughs.
Are they in Ireland?

[Gloria]

Yes they are Stanley, but where abouts?

[Stanley]

Ah, That was a lucky shot! Problem is I don't know where....

[Gloria]

Well I’ll leave it and see if anyone else knows.

[Stanley]

[Gloria]

Well that went down well they are in the Mourne Mountains in Ireland. Really interesting to see, wouldn’t like to build them.

[Stanley]

Impossible if you don't know the district Gloria. We need another one.... Try this.



What is it?

[Cathy]

Is it to do with a horse

I’m hoping not, it doesn’t look very friendly if it is.

[Stanley]

No Cathy, not horses....

[Gloria]

Impossible if you don't know the district Gloria.

[Big Kev]

Disability aid.

[Stanley]

Yes Kev and rather a special one. Can you tell me more?

[Big Kev]

Made for a pilot during WW2 who lost a hand.

[Stanley]

Yes Kev, you've got it. He had lost an arm and this bit of kit was attached to the false arm and strapped to the control column of his Spitfire.....
Next one?

[Stanley]

What exactly are we looking at here?

[Gloria]

Old darts.
