Totally random, hither and thither and not all in FGW land.

Note to 'dayranger57' - I moved your post to our moderators area (that is, out of public view) temporarily: the generally accepted rule in these quiz topics is that only one 'guess' per member is allowed for the first 24 hours.

To be fair, bignosemac did state that, in his original post: it's to avoid spoiling the fun for others - at least to start with!

Chris from Nailsea  ;)

Erm ... it isn't a door at Taunton that I don't know about, is it?  :P


Title: Re: Pic(s) n Mix. Something for the weekend.
Post by: JayMac on February 27, 2011, 21:43:08
Ollie.... you bad man. Cheats never prosper. But pray tell...how did you cheat?

And Chris..... no, not a previously unknown door at Taunton. Not having two pics from Toytown in one quiz!

A virgin unit of force, perhaps.....


Title: Re: Pic(s) n Mix. Something for the weekend.
Post by: Ollie on February 27, 2011, 21:44:50
Study the picture and what I used to cheat should stand out :P It would be obvious if I said it.
