Thanks, Plaques.
Glad you enjoyed looking around my Ipernity images.

Although it is a long time since I last updated the thread, I do have one in misc history ...
viewtopic.php?f=72&t=954

This has reminded me I need to upload some more new images to Ipernity.

No takers? I'll give it one more day......

MoMa Sculpture Garden in NYC apparently, I doubt if anyone would have got this without Google if they hadn't been. I cheated of course but could only find one photograph. Google images is full of nude Donald Trumps though.

Actually there are Two images on Google Images. I was restricted to 2 seconds apiece. Sheltered life that's me.

.

Dead right! There is more greenery about than when I did the pic, in about 1980 I think.
Next one?

Was the other one the previous time Stanley put the image on OG Mystery Objects?

Vaguely remember the picture, but what do you expect with a 2 second viewing time, I think it was more to do with Stanley's stocking fetish. Seemed odd to me but there you go.

The thing that raises a pic above the average is often 'the difference'. The pop stockings jarred with everything else in the picture.....



Try this one.....

A selection of reamers?

Sorry no Gloria, I can see why you thought that.

Are these the star drills of which you write on the Faulty Drier thread?

Thank god for that, you have it Tiz. They are the Rawldrill bits that were used with a holder to drill holes in masonry before tungsten tipped bits and hammer drills. (I like 'Faulty Drier!)
Next one?

Talking of tungsten, the recently re-opened wolframite mine at Drakelands near Plymouth has run into difficulties and the police were called due to a dispute with creditors. The owners, Wolf Minerals, are having to look for extra funds.

Can you tell me his name and what he was famous for?

Is he an original Smurf model?

No Cathy, think advertising.....

Sorry, can't get Smurfs, Gnomes and Dwarfs out of my head.

It's Douglas, he lived with Penelope Keith and played a trumpet..... or was it a saxophone?

Eh? Please explain..

He appeared in adverts for Lurpak butter like this one.

Wendy has done the explaining Cathy. It is indeed Douglas who appeared in the adverts for Lurpak Butter and I was so taken on with him I got the soft toy that you could have with wrappers from the butter.
Wendy, he played a variety of instruments, I think including a violin?

Ah it's Danish Butter. It is sold over here but I've never bought it myself. Good one.

Who are these 2 characters and what are they made of?
Very popular on Tele , episodes were made between 1956 and 1968.
