  • Something for the Weekend No 60 - the answer

    Apologies for being late with the teaser answer tonight, I've had a wee problem with the old 'puter. :roll:

    So anyway let's cut right to the chase...

    Having shown you this
    Something for the Weekend No 60

    Then this
    You have to guess!

    And this
    You still have to guess!

    Coupled to various references to water, boats, wind-ups, etc.... I kind of thought maybe I'd pushed you all in the right direction.

    Happy was on the right track when she said a lock gate... and Spicy was also on track with canal lock... a prize to both these lovely ladies. :yes:

    Something for the Weekend No 60

    It's a sluice gate mechanism... a wind-up thing! :))
    For letting water through a dock gate... a lock gate... :yes:

    Congratulations girls... prize draw is open. :D

    :wave:

  • Something for the Weekend 59 - the answer

    Hello there teaser fans. :wave:

    First of all I'd like to say how pleased I am to see so many people took part in the last teaser... just goes to prove you don't need me around to have a little fun. ;)

    Something for the Weekend No 59

    This is what you were asked to identify and everyone who mentioned 'water' can give themselves a big pat on the back. :yes:

    It isn't water being rained on and it isn't a stream-bed... it is sunlight being reflected off water, but that's not the answer I was looking for. :no:

    Here's the original image...

    Something for the Weekend No 59

    As you can see this is water cascading over a weir, but I didn't expect you to know that... the answer I was looking for was water over concrete...

    On reflection maybe that was asking a bit much; what do you think? Am I being too hard on you? :??:

    Comments please... :yes:

  • Something for the Weekend 59

    Good morning teaser fans... here I am with this week's Little Something for the Weekend. :yes:

    Don't expect any comments back from me this week because I'll be a bit busy doing other things, but feel free to guess away and argue among yourselves... ;D

    I am your Little Something for the Weekend
    Something for the Weekend No 59
    but what am I?

    Happy guessing one and all... I'll be back with the answer and winner details tomorrow evening. :wave:

  • Something for the Weekend 58 - the answer

    Good evening all...

    Some interesting guesses in this week's teaser, but only one that was spot on and pretty much right off the bat too...

    Here's what I posted
    Something for the Weekend No 58

    I loved the idea it might be a biscuit or a mattress or maybe my shaved leg... :))

    :no: Come on be fair, would I do a thing like that? Show you my shaved bits? :>>:oops::no:

    In fact Esspee pinged the answer in just four minutes....

    It's a "Dandelion head" said he...

    DSC_3692

    Well close enough for me I think... unless there are any major objections... oh sod it, this is MY game... DESPITE major objections... :yes:

    The virtual prize draw is opne Esspee... what're you going to pluck out?

    You also qualify for an Usky desktop, but somehow I doubt you want one of those... ;)

    Have a great week everyone: see you next time. :yes:

  • Something for the Weekend 58

    Good morning teaser fans... here I am with this week's Little Something for the Weekend. :yes:

    I was tempted to set you a real stinker, but ultimately decided not to take my frustration out on you folks. ;)

    So here we are then... I am your Little Something for the Weekend
    Something for the Weekend No 58
    but what am I?

    Happy guessing one and all... I'll be back with the answer and winner details tomorrow evening. :wave:

  • Something for the Weekend 57 - the answer

    Sorry I didn't get to post the answer to this last night... the day didn't quite go as planned and I was late getting back here.

    So, we had lots of interesting answers yesterday... and quite a few that were close... but none that were close enough to win a prize, so I'm awarding myself the spoils on this occasion. :yes:

    Something for the Weekend No 57

    What was I? :??:

    Well I wasn't ribbons, aerial roots, dead leaves, saffron, old boot laces or "Dried leatherong." :)) :no:

    I was something most of you will have seen every time you go to the shops, whether at the supermarket or the greengrocer....

    Something for the Weekend No 57

    Had you known your onions, you'd have spotted I was the dried up root structure of an Allium Cepa... or garden onion. :yes:

    *Usky claps his hands, laughs and skips*

    Ho, what a surprise... I thought you'd have spotted this one for sure. :yes: What a clever old Usky! :))

    See you all on Saturday teaser fans for a brand new Little Something for the Weekend! :wave:

  • Something for the Weekend 57

    'Morning teaser fans.... so, number 57... sounds like a certain canned food group! :))

    Here's a Bank Holiday special to help keep you amused... I hope!

    I am your Little Something for Bank Holiday Monday
    Something for the Weekend No 57
    ...but what am I?

    This is a one day teaser... the winner/answer details will be posted later today.

    Have fun folks... and happy guessing! :yes:

  • Something for the Weekend 56 - the answer

    Good afternoon teaser fans... I think it's time we put this one to bed. :yes:

    I could claim myself a victory having said I want to know what the item is and where you might find it... but I'm in generous mood this weekend. :))

    Yesterday morning I showed you this...
    Something for the Weekend No 56
    ...and didn't we have some wonderful answers?

    Literary award for the week must surely go to Munzly, although both new girl Flashlink30 and my old mate Spicy may have something to say about that. :))

    We had rivets, screws, car parts, lighthouses and lots of reflections through glass... how close were you?

    Something for the Weekend No 56

    Trintrinx1 was spot on identifying the object as a rain drop... and I'll forgive her for not saying it was on my washing line... so congratulations to you Trini for bagging this week's prize! :yes:

    The virtual prize draw is now open... dig deep and rummage around Trini... whatever you can imagine is there for you to grab! You might like to share with us whatever you drew out... enquiring minds need to know these things! ;)

    And of course you qualify for a personalised Usky Desktop wallpaper image for your 'puter, should you want one. PM me if you're not sure how this works. :)

    Well done to everyone who took part and special congratulations to Trini on her winning entry.

    Hmmm... it's a Bank Holiday weekend... would you folks like another teaser tomorrow? The ball's in your court! :wave:

  • Something for the Weekend 56

    Good morning teaser fans... here I am with this week's Little Something for the Weekend. :yes:

    I'm changing the format very slightly this week... so take note.

    * You can still guess as many times as you like, but each guess must be specific.
    * I want to know what the item is and where you might find it.

    Mean, ain't I? :>>

    I am your Little Something for the Weekend...
    Something for the Weekend No 56
    ...but what am I?

    As usual the winner/answer details will be posted tomorrow. :yes:

    Happy guessing everyone and good luck with this week's teaser! :wave:
