Thoght we could try this - one person posts a 'mystery picture' and the first person to guess what it is posts their own picture and so on. You can take your own picture or I suppose find one on the internet. Could be a close-up, strange angle, blurred, out of focus - anything really. here's one to start:

Spokes on the wheel of a bicycle?

Spokes on the wheel of a bicycle?

Spot on

Go on Tiggs - you next

I love this game, wasn't there a programme or a comic or something years and years ago that had this as a feature?? Something like VisionOn or Ask the Family???


Come on Tiggs hit us with a toughy!!??

I've taken one, but I have to wait for Mr tiggs to 1. show me how to look at the picture again on the digital camera to see if it is good, 2. show me how to download it onto the computer, 3. figure out yet again how to get the picture on the site. Regardless of all this lack of technical knowledge, it will be up this afternoon. :laugh:

I also like this game Flip! :w00t:

Right here goes.:)


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/tigger767/mysterypicture.jpg

plastic pipe?

Nope..... :)

That is a view of a bathroom looking through the middle of a toilet roll. Oh yes!

Not 100% correct Dab, but close enough. It's actually viewing a kitchen through a paper towel roll, but we won't argue about technicalities. ;)

Go on Dab, your turn. :thumbsup:

Thanks Tiggs! :thumbsup: And I like your tiles!

Okay, here you go:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y248/DavidBridger/8fe90fa8.jpg

LOL how gross is that Dab??????? :sick:

It's got me baffled right now, but I'll keep on thinking.

:kid: hee hee hee hee....

I want to say it's Edam cheese, but I really don't think so. Just the same colour red as Edam.

It's not something in your mouth is it Dab? :kid:

Fish eye? :huh:

:laugh: No, Tiggs. Not edam, not fish eye, and definitely nothing in my mouth! But bless you for the thought.... :laugh:

Is it something in someone else's mouth? I'm guessing mouth ulcer.

Nooooooooo, sf. :laugh:

It looks like a jelly to me :glare:

Not jelly, Bonnie. :p

Is it a Percy Pig sweet, or something similar?

Frayed knot, Patsy. Don't even know what a Percy Pig sweet looks like, to be honest, but it's not a sweet anyway.

A radish?......

Hey, Tiggs, you're working this one! Sorry though - not a radish.

Is it the opening to a shampoo or conditioner bottle, with the white stuff being either of those?

A rubber ring?

Is it the opening to a shampoo or conditioner bottle, with the white stuff being either of those?

No, Tiggs.


A rubber ring?

No, Patsy.



Would you like a clue?

Yes please, Dabby Doodle Dabster.

cut 'n' paste

:thumbsup:

Opening to a thingy of glue?

Curses!!!! Pipped at the post.

You're getting warmer, Tiggs. :w00t:

I give up! :sad:

Oh, Tiggs! :hug:

You're getting very close!

A plastic pot with glue in it?

That's too close for me to deny you the prize, Patsy. It's wallpaper paste in a plastic pot. Well done!

Your turn.

In view of the fact that I currently have no pooter at home and Tiggs was soooooooooooooo close, give it to her please, Dabster.

Tiggs? Over to you, mate. :thumbsup:

Ok will do, give me a little bit. :)

I have two in abayance [sp?] waiting till I am around long enough to get a guess in and correct.

Nope. Shall I give a clue or wait for a bit?

Do you know you can use photobucket to edit a picture including making it smaller?

Do you know you can use photobucket to edit a picture including making it smaller?

I've been having intermittent problems with that function in Photobucket for a week or so, sf. It seems to be obeying the size reduction command, but not displaying it for quite a while. At first I kept hitting the "reduce" button and ended up with postage stamp sized images. Now, when it won't play, I just sulk.

A plunger.

Bottle of wine?

A trumpet?

No, no-ones got it yet.

Do you want a clue?

Do you know you can use photobucket to edit a picture including making it smaller?
