MYSTERY OBJECTS

[PanBiker]

Tough as he was, B.A had to be sedated if the plot involved flying.

[Steeplejerk]

Rocky beat him aswell

[Big Kev]

[Stanley]

You lot are a bottomless fund of esoteric knowledge when it comes to the mejjia...



What's happening here?

[Stanley]

I see there are no takers for my latest mystery object. If that still applies at midday I'll knock it on the head.....

[Wendyf]

Is it the last inhabitants of a Scottish Island being evacuated?

[Stanley]

You're on the right track Wendy but this is not in any way final, it's a regular occurrence. Stay in that general area.

[Steeplejerk]

Shopping trip ?

[Stanley]

Could very well be Tom.....

[Stanley]

[Wendyf]

Passenger ferry from Eigg?

[Stanley]

That's so close I have to give it you Wendy. It's the Muck fly boat that carried passengers from the Isle of Muck across to the Loch Mor which in those days couldn't get in to the quay at either Eigg or Muck and so their 'fly boat' had to ferry passengers out to the Loch Mor which hove to off Castle Island.. I think the ferry can get in to the Eigg quay now but the Muck fly boat will still be needed.
I've had a furtle and yes the ferry can dock at Eigg now but not at Muck.

[Stanley]

What is it?

[Tizer]

A contraption?
Or a pump?

[Stanley]

Sorry, not a pump Peter.

[PanBiker]

Looks like its for crushing something, looking at the background is that sugar cane?

[Steeplejerk]

Is it some kind of thrasher??

[Stanley]

You were on the ball with your first answer Tom. It's a small domestic cane crusher turned by a horse walking round in a circle.
Well done, good observation. Next object anyone?

[Steeplejerk]

Ian got it not me

[Stanley]

So it was, sorry Ian. Well done to you then for good observation!

[Stanley]

What's going on here?

[Gloria]

Decommissioning a boiler?

[Stanley]

Sorry no Gloria. (But you're in the right area......)

[Gloria]

Looks like there are some large pipes in the background top right, and the hole looks like it could be a pit for something, and has some serious shoring up.

[Steeplejerk]

Looks familiar
