News pic quiz.

2 points for the year, 5 points for location & story. (Points may or may not become redeemable at a later date)


(http://i34.tinypic.com/s2sgfc.jpg)

Seen that scene before but as every terrible memory.

I remember going to the phone box to ring Mrs Red when we were courting. I used to be in there for ages. People would tap on the glass and tut tut at me.

It used to cost a fortune (Well a few coppers, but it was a fortune to me) until I realised that if I reversed the charges to her phone box, neither of us had to pay.

Notting Hill Carnival riots? That's the Westway (A40M) above, on the left. Can the story be about anything - electricity pylons, for example - or does it need to be linked to the photograph?

Here's my Story.

See those lamp-posts above the A40M - top left?

Well they have all been cut off at about 1 metre above ground level, so no longer work, but the "stubs" remain there to this day.

For 5 bonus points, why?

nothing to do with the carnival, in fact I think it predates it

pic actually looks like a relay race at a fancy dress sports day. it's even got its own ice cream van

Spot on. You now have 5 points. (Year still up for grabs)

Next one will have to be harder

you're giving him points for getting it wrong? online photo quizzes are rigged imo

Louder please, I did not hear you properly.....

Did you not know that I am in the top 93% of intelligent people in the UK? (As are 93% of the UK, I hastily add....).

To be fair, this deserves more love.....

a relay race at a fancy dress sports day. it's even got its own ice cream van

What = 2 points.

When = 2 points.

Who = 5 points.

Red Adair, on a North Sea Oil Rig.

notting hill carnival riots, mr google tells me, were 18 years after that photo. please remove mr kendall's points

err, tom, you've left the rig's name badge in the 2nd pic, makes it quite easy

I'm gonna guess at 1994 for the year

Because if they tried to get them out it would weaken the structure in some way perhaps?

I'm going to Give you the points for Piper Alpha (You spotted it, I didn't) But the year is wrong.

Tony is correct with Red Adair (Bugger)

What? WHAT?

It SAYS "Piper Alpha" on the picture! And Pony-Tail Boy gets points for THAT?

Whereas I cunningly spotted a man in red, & woirked out who he was.

I reckon it's the Notting Hill "race-riots" in the 1960's.

Thank you. I now have work to do, elsewhere, so I will retire from the Competition forthwith, with an unassaible lead.

Send prize, please.

No - that model of Ice-Cream Van was not available in the 60's.

I have a book about the history of Ice-Cream Vans.

"Stop me & Buy One."

don't bother ralph. kendall's already nobbled the judge. correct answers count for nothing round here

First edition and signed by the author naturally.

1988 for Piper Alpha.

Not convinced that photo was taken on Piper Alpha at that time though, need to research a bit but am sure the whole rig would be a charred mess by the time Adair and his team got there, not as bright and shiny as it looks there.

Geo

Scrap that, just realised he's actually on a vessel fighting the fire   ;marks;

1988 is correct Geo.

One concurs.

But it IS Red Adair.

Last one before my walk

Thought it was quite obvious they were wax models tbh.

Geo

good call on the waxworks geo

I'm off to ask google how to put out oil rig fires. always wondered but never bothered finding out

Tikay will tell you,he built the rigs you know,that was his first job.

Lies - that's just the Queen going for a haircut at Tony & Guy and the hairdresser is taking her hat off so he can get cracking with the shampoo.

There have been 22 different models of the Queen at Tussauds.

2nd is Michael Jackson with 13.....mmmmmmmm, wonder why? lol

Geo

Scandalous!!!!










Nicky Clarke surely.

Geo

Simples. They simply have to "cap" the well, but the snag is that the well is gushing oil & flames at colossal pressure. They do not, & cannot, put the fire "out", they just damp it down to help facilitate the capping of the well. Well capped = fire exstinguished.

Slipping a bit here old yin.

Whilst they can cap, which deprives the blaze of oxygen and eliminates flame, for the larger ones they actually "blow out" the flames by creating a larger explosion, much the same as we blow out candles with a large breath of air.

Geo

I certainly do Tony, I even remember feeding sugar-lumps to the coal-man's horse when we first moved to London.

My Uncle Law (he from my brothers story) started with an ice cream bike like those in Edinburgh and gradually built quite a company, Caley Ices which were one of the biggest Ice cream companies in Edinburgh in the 60' and 70's. Sold on and bought the caravan site at Little France which is now the site of the huuuuuge New Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh after he was bought out under compulsory purchase.

Geo

I'm none the wiser. capping wells is not in my knowledge set any more than putting out oil fires is. I kinda assume it's a giant version of a damp tea towel on a chip pan

Same idea Gatso, fire needs 3 things - fuel - heat/ignition and oxygen. By cooling down with water they take the heat away, by capping they are depriving of oxygen.

Occaissionaly the fire is too big to cap, so they cool down with water then use explosives to created a big puff of air to blow out the flame then cap.

Geo

There you go Ralph.

We used to feed apples to the UD (United Dairies) Milkman's horse!

Note that there is not one car parked in the street, & the woman's pinafore. EVERY woman had to wear a pinny.

Yes the milk continued to be delivered by horse-drawn floats for quite a while longer especially in the North of England, but for some reason the coal which was delivered on a flat trailer rather like a railway flatcar and driven by a pair of horses made a real lasting impression on three-year-old me.

In used to love seeing working horses with a nose bag on while the driver sat on the frontboard with half of shandy and a cheese and onion sarne.

.

(http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/884/20235093.JPG)

There was until recently ( within the last 10 years ) an old boy in Bedworth still collecting his scrap with his horse every 2nd Tuesday.

Oh noooooooo - not football! I refuse to enter.

Oh boy, that picture brings back such beautiful childhood memories.

Beware, I may have to make a Diary Post.

But that looks more like a donkey than a horse to my (untrained) eye. The Milky had a proper, great big, horse.

1970 f a cup final replay

old trafford

chelsea v Leeds

Osgood

2-1 Chelsea, david webb

29th April I think

That stand looks very much like Highbury which is the only place where I've ever seen floodlights in a line across the top.

Following on from that it's probably an FA cup semi-final possibly Chelsea v spuds ?

Molineux also had them in the 50's.

Not highbury, the architecture is completely wrong. Highbury was classy Leitch.

Excellent spot. I just posted this to illustrate the nose bag. I will post a proper draught horse pic soon.

Not a draught horse I don't suppose, my memory has the horse as being much bigger, but otherwise an incredibly evocative photo.

date is almost impossible 1949 maybe, could be 20 years out

kings cross
1951

Blackpool

1957


Was going to guess at war evacuation ... but no gas masks etc ..

Which means I am guessing at a holiday snap and Blackpool Station OR at Euston to board the train to blackpool ?

looks like TK's first company car...

Paddington. Correct.

Brighton beach

Mods v rockers?

Mods versus Rockers

1964

Brighton

Mods v Rockers.
Brighton.
1964.

EDIT: 21s. FML.

correct

blast, Geo beat me too it by seconds

Brighton - I'm not sure it is.

1) The Brighton coastline is "srtraight", not bay-shaped.

2) There is no sand at Brighton, it's shingle.

Everything else points to Brighton though, & most - not all - of the mid-sixties Mods v Rockers dust-ups were there. I was there, too - I was a rocker.

May 18 1964: Correct.

Brighton beach: Wrong

Mods v rockers?: Correct

Think its Margate.

Clacton?

Correct.

In a car wash.

Is it Felippe Massa ?

such a random photo

It looks like he has McLaren red overalls on. So it has to be between 88 and 93

A wild guess at 1991, Winning the drivers title in Japan

the overall fits with the shell logo positioning below

senna imola 91 maybe 93

Coulthard?

its senna i think its this pic

Senna is correct for 3 pts

Suzuka

Wrong.

He's had 27 attempts, too! Ban him.

Donington '93.

Geo

I didn't say it was a Bafta for "Darling" Geo.

Wasn't going to post this.

I don't know who wrote it, I learned it from my dad.  (in tears now)

I just looked it up, (It was hard to find) Apparently, it's called "Tim, an Irish terrier" by Winifred Mary Letts.



It's wonderful dogs they're breeding now:
Small as a flea or large as a cow;
But my old dog Tim he'll never be bet
By any dog that ever he met.
'Come on,' says he, 'for I'm not kilt yet.'

No matter the size of the dog he'll meet,
Tim trails his coat the length o' the street.
D'ye mind his scar an' his ragged ear,
The like of a Dublin Fusilier?
He's a massacree dog that knows no fear.

But he'd stick to me till his lastest breath;
An' he'd go with me to the gates of death.
He'd wait for a thousand years, maybe,
Scratching the door 'an whining for me
If myself were inside in Purgatory.

So I laugh when I hear them make it plain
That dogs and men never meet again.
For all their talk who'd listen to thim
With the soul in the shining eyes of him?
Would God be wasting a dog like Tim?

OK, before Tighty comes back..

was thinking that iron but decided it wasn't really sport

No

fishing isnt a sport in my books its a pasttime or a comericail activity

Quite so, but this is my book.

thats why the world goes round it takes all sorts and aslong as we dont goto war about it we are allowed different views

whats your views of fox hunting

i think its a nessactary and should be a legal sport not that it is a sport i would take part in

My views on fox hunting.... how long have you got?

Perhaps I should be diplomatic (Like tikay is with his views on football) and opt not to discuss it.

But make sure you make your opinion known first, then say you aren't going to discuss it :D

only angler I've heard of is Will Raison (sp) who was a world champ a couple of years ago.

other than that, the guy called Keith on tight lines.

Funny, I'm not into fishing but love watching that prog as it relaxes me, the guy is just so good at presenting that programme.

There used to be a programme on early mornings called The Joy of Painting.

Some christian guy who painted these amazing scenes, wasn't into art but his calming voice had me hooked.

Geo

Lmao  rotflmfao He soooo does that.

I used to watch the "Joy of Painting" guy, he was awsome.

only angler I know is evil edna. is it her?

lol, come to think of it Tom, you both look alike

Geo

Nah


(http://www.la-paleta.com/images/Bob_Ross.jpg)

Well, maybe not too alike - here he is Bob Ross

You're confusing him with the bloke from "The Joy of Sex"

Lol - snap

He really was an amaziing artist.

It was his soothing tone which captivated me, again a guy who knew his stuff and presented it really well.

And a superb Caucasian afro - or "euro" if you will.  Fantastic how he dabs away at the canvas and suddenly there's a mountain.  He and Tony Hart would have made a lovely couple.

A little bit of phthalo blue some dark sienna and just gently now, gently dab the brush

AND BAM MOUNTAINS



awesome show. hate painting i'm so crap at it it's untrue but love the show for some reason!
 ;popcorn;

so did we work out who the fisherman was?

It was Jonah

anyone remember Paint Along With Nancy? I seem to recall she used a knife rather than a brush  ;dingdell;

when I first started half-days at infant school, it was Nancy, The Sullivans, and Crown Court on the box when I got home.

yeah but your old

:( it's true :(

i dont lie

Oooh!

I didn't go to school, but if I had, telly wouldn't have started until about 6pm. then it would have been something like Stingray, The 6 O'clock News, The Littlest Hobo, Coronation st, Hancock's Half Hour, Steptoe & Son, Armchair Theatre, the test card, and then that little white spot. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..............

Mind you, the battery had usually conked by that stage.

What? At all? Ever?

Remember it used to fade into the middle of the screen and then take an age to dissapear even though you had switched the tele off.

Why was that?
