[annietex]

Colmar?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[bara03]

Normandy?

[Roy Mathers]

Yes.

[monty28428]

Honfleur ?

[Roy Mathers]

No.

[monty28428]

Rouen ?

[Roy Mathers]

Not Rouen either.

[annietex]

Dieppe?

[bara03]

Lower Normandy?

[Roy Mathers]

Dieppe?

No.

Lower Normandy?

I'm not sure what Lower Normandy is.

[bara03]

Just a region of France according to Microsoft AutoRoute (I guess they are the French equivalent of counties), but it includes towns like Caen, Cherbourg, etc

PS - Those were guesses as well.

[tomd]

Roy,
Are you feeling sleepy yet? :D

[Pete]

Deauville?

[annietex]

Roy,
Are you feeling sleepy yet? :D

What do we do then, Tom? Guess every city in Normandy?:):)

Roy, maybe we could narrow down where it is in Normandy...

W/SW of the Orne?

Between the Orne and the Eure/Seine?

N/NE of the Seine?

[annietex]

Hey Tom, I think we need Derek to jump in on this! :cool:

[bara03]

Leave him alone, he's probably eating his dinner - ;)

[annietex]

But don't we all eat our dinner under the soft glow of our monitors?:eek::eek::eek:

[bara03]

You have become obssessed by WAIN haven't you Ann?

[monty28428]

Bayeux ? I think it's called The Lace Conservatory ?

[annietex]

You have become obssessed by WAIN haven't you Ann?

Cool. I concur. Nice work, lad.

Oh well, you can help us with the next one :p

And I am proud to be a heathen :D:D:D:D

[Roy Mathers]

Sorry for the delay, but I've been out. I can answer all the above posts with one - Monty is correct. It is the lace conservatory in Bayeux, home of the famous tapestry. Well done Monty.

[monty28428]

Tough one Roy! Figured you had already gone to bed as we've kept you up late the last couple of days!

Thanks Ann & Pete -- just pure dumb luck really.

Open to the first taker

[tomd]

nice find Monty.

[Roy Mathers]

It's only 11.30 here - not my bedtime yet! :)

[DDCSD]

OK, I've been saving this one a bit. It may be extremely difficult, as I can only find a couple of images of it, or it may go quickly if someone searches just right.

You've been warned, WAIN?

[tomd]

I've been looking through hundreds of red brick tower photos. :o :(

[annietex]

I've been looking through hundreds of red brick tower photos. :o :(

I was looking at smoke stacks :lol:

[DDCSD]

Butler Island Plantation ?

You, PeteJaffa and Ken never cease to amaze me. Good work Monty! Mind if I ask what led you to it? I seriously only found one photo of it. Did you find that one Flickr shot?

I've been looking through hundreds of red brick tower photos.

I was looking at smoke stacks :lol:

It's a chimney! At least that is the only way I could find it. :lol:

I literally turned in the middle of the highway to take a shot of this for WAIN.

[monty28428]

There is only one photo on flickr ?? :-) This one (http://www.flickr.com/photos/butch-petty/2087938267/) ;-)

Yes searched for powderworks first then mill chimney. Ann you are not from the South we call smoke stacks chimneys all the time!

Nice one Derek.

Again Open to the first taker

[annietex]

Ann you are not from the South we call smoke stacks chimneys all the time!



But I am from the south-how sad:( I guess my excuse is I was a big city girl (Dallas/Houston)
I suppose if I had lived closer to the coast I would've seen the chimneys at the refineries:lol:

[monty28428]

LOL -- I was just kidding!!

The test -- What do you call a shopping cart ?

[DDCSD]

Texas is Texas, not The South. :lol:;)

[DDCSD]

LOL -- I was just kidding!!

The test -- What do you call a shopping cart ?

My wife calls them buggies!!!!

[DDCSD]

Oh, and Hewey has finally reported in again...... darn kids!

[monty28428]

Hey no fair you gave Ann the answer!! LOL!

Alright Hewey is back in action.

[DDCSD]

Hey no fair you gave Ann the answer!! LOL!

I dated my wife for probably 4 years before I heard here call them that. She told me to go grab a buggy and I told her we didn't own any horses........ :lol:

[monty28428]

ROFL!!! Well that means you never went shopping with her for four years (or she always grabbed the buggy first)!! Quite a feat there Derek!

[annietex]

LOL -- I was just kidding!!

The test -- What do you call a shopping cart ?

Actually I've never called it anything other than a cart :)


Texas is Texas, not The South. :lol:;)

Hence my buggy/chimney ignorance :p

[DDCSD]

ROFL!!! Well that means you never went shopping with her for four years (or she always grabbed the buggy first)!! Quite a feat there Derek!

We never had enough money to need a buggy. :lol:

[DDCSD]

Hence my buggy/chimney ignorance :p

I was a Midwestern boy living in The South for about six years and my two best friends for the last 10 years are from Texas. I've learned that most Texans get mad if you call them anything other than Texans or Americans. :)

[DDCSD]

Well, how about an easy one to kill the last few hours of the evening?

WAIN?

Nope. You'll kick yourself when you find out. I was expecting this it be pretty simple.

[tomd]

Chamberlain's House ?

[Pete]

Chamberlain's House ?

Well done!! Although I would have simply accepted Lacock Village also.

Nice work.

[tomd]

Nope. You'll kick yourself when you find out.

[tomd]

I'll have to leave it OPEN for anyone to post, I don't have my pics at this computer.

Tom

[Pete]

Lacock's a very interesting village.

[Roy Mathers]

Damn, I was just getting round to Lacock and Fox-Talbot!

[tomd]

Damn, I was just getting round to Lacock and Fox-Talbot!


maybe you are a little slow due to lack of sleep lately? :lol:

[Roy Mathers]

You've got it there Tom! :D

[Roy Mathers]

Three hours without a picture? Ann must be having withdrawal symptoms!

Here's one to keep things moving -

[glhs509]

Com vostè està hermosa deessa!

[Roy Mathers]

Sorry, I don't understand Ken.

[annietex]

Three hours without a picture? Ann must be having withdrawal symptoms!

Here's one to keep things moving -

Actually, while I was at the grocery store putting items into my buggy all I could think about was running home to see if someone had FINALLY posted a WAIN pic :razz:

[annietex]

I guess, Barcelona?

[Roy Mathers]

You are correct! And welcome back from the shopping centre!

[annietex]

You are correct! And welcome back from the shopping centre!

Thanks Roy! Here's a strange, but easy one...WAIN?

[Roy Mathers]

Is this Disneyland?

[annietex]

Is this Disneyland?

Not Disneyland.

[Roy Mathers]

Disney World?

[annietex]

Not World either :)

[bara03]

Is it a theme park in the US?

[annietex]

Not a theme park, more like an attraction. And yes, the US.

[monty28428]

Georgia ?

[annietex]

Not Georgia, according to their website

I know you're just toying with me Monty...I know you know it ;)

[glhs509]

Roy--translation from Catalan: 'Oh how beautiful you are Deessa'....Deessa being the name of the statue squatting in your Barcelona pic :)

[monty28428]

Who me :-) Nice to see you used a buggy today ;-)

[annietex]

Ken, I tried to translate that on babelfish, but they don't have a Catalan option :)

[Roy Mathers]

It looks very much like a Beatrix Potter attraction - is it?

[annietex]

Who me :-) Nice to see you used a buggy today ;-)

If you ask me, I think you throw out a few wrong answers so we don't feel bad about how fast you figure our WAINs out! :p

And yes, shopping was a thrill-got the Halloween candy!

[annietex]

It looks very much like a Beatrix Potter attraction - is it?

Not Beatrix Potter.

[glhs509]

Ann, off topic...what's the weather forecast down there this weekend? Thinking about a road trip with the kids to the wildlife park near Peoria...

[annietex]

Ken, it is going to be very nice! Perfect time to come down-the highs are supposed to be in the mid-upper 60's with lows in the mid 40's.

Have you been to Wildlife Prairie Park before?

[monty28428]

How about TN then ;-)

[glhs509]

Great! Trying to enjoy the last bit of warm weather before it all goes downhill. Been there once before and the kids had a blast. Will also try to hit that antique museum (wheels o time?) since we enjoyed that as well...

[annietex]

How about TN then ;-)

There ya go! I had conflicting info...some said TN, some said GA

[annietex]

Great! Trying to enjoy the last bit of warm weather before it all goes downhill. Been there once before and the kids had a blast. Will also try to hit that antique museum (wheels o time?) since we enjoyed that as well...

I hear you Ken! We're lucky to get this last bit of decent weather before the next 6 months of indoor living...:mad::mad::mad::cry::cry::cry::cry:

[monty28428]

You know if I was on the lookout for this place I would think it is fairy cavernous :-)

[glhs509]

"You gotta lose your mind in Detroit __________"

[Roy Mathers]

Fairyland Caverns, Rock City, Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, Tennessee?

[annietex]

Fairyland Caverns, Rock City, Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga, Tennessee?

Excellent Roy! Over to you...

[annietex]

You know if I was on the lookout for this place I would think it is fairy cavernous :-)

LOL-too funny, Monty! :lol::lol:

[tomd]

Oh no....Did Roy go to bed?

He is asking for more drama! :lol:

[annietex]

Too bad he didn't post one up before turning in...unless that was his intention :)

I would hope he's asleep by now, isn't it like 1 am there?

[Roy Mathers]

Apologies for the delay - not only did I go to bed but when I woke up, I found we had a power cut (what you Americans call 'an outage' I believe), so I couldn't access the internet. I'm pleased to see there was no 'drama', as Tom put it, while I was away!

Anyway, I owe my success at guessing this to Monty's huge clue (thanks Monty) and I continue with this -

[bara03]

France again?

[Roy Mathers]

Not this time.

[Mgdh]

UK then? Looking at the Information sign...

[glhs509]

Dang it! Leftovers again last night...salisbury steak :(

[Roy Mathers]
