What are some good excuses you tell your wife/girlfriend when you want to go out alone for a few hours?

"I'm going to the Quiz! Do you want to come?"

"Boring - you go!"

Works every time!

I am through as far as the cave with the three cogs and big wheel and turning them in any combination does not seem to work - pretty stuck there at the moment - ant suggestions?

Line up the red bits on the cogs vertically and then pull the wheel.

I'm stuck at the next bit though

Undo the bolts - but you have to go back for a different spanner after the first bolt

ok - i am in the chamber with the water pump - I can shake the seeds in, I can send drops of water to the cauldron, I can heat it and let drops out ... <deleted> do I do?

Done anything with those jars and bottles inside the chamber yet?

Nice little game once you get the hang of what it's all about:

Caracas - leaving the name of the hotel on the pic was a great help!

Yeah, well done. I couldn't see any name on the hotel!

It was in the name of the .jpg!

No...

It's got me beat at the moment.

If it is still there in the morning I'll have another think.

'Tis Calgary

Here's another, a truly lovely place which I enjoyed very much

A tough one this.

Modern city with an older quarter.

Buildings in the forground suggest European, probably southern?

Just months after banning cigarette displays from shops, the Health Ministry expressed confidence that its latest initiatives – raising the legal drinking age to 21 and banning liquor advertising on television and radio – will succeed, despite the impact on business.

The ministry has also proposed limiting liquor advertising on television and radio to a narrow window between 2am and 5am or prohibiting the ads altogether. Liquor advertising can currently begin at 10pm.

Analysts said one of the industries to suffer most from a complete ban on TV ads would be media companies, which rely on liquor ads for between two and three percent of their advertising revenues.

Watching a Thai movie last night they blocked out alcohol on a bar table in the same way that they block people smoking. Seems to have started already.

'Tis Calgary

T'be sure, t'be sure!!!

Too easy eh?

Your go!

Ok Croc,

What's the city?

Caracas - leaving the name of the hotel on the pic was a great help!

Try this one

Bridgetown barbados

no, you're an ocean away G.

Clearly eliminating the Arctic and the Antarctic we are left with the Indian and the Pacific. Not being particularly familiar with Oz, but hazarding a guess at somewhere on the East Coast along the Great Barrier Reef.

Getting warm?

When I was working in Bangkok, over a period of about a year, my phone fell off my belt on three occassions getting out of a taxi (before I bought a new case!). Each time when my secretary called my number they answered and brought the phone back - Baht 1,000 a time was worth it.

Jamestown , St Helena

At last! Well done.

Ascension Island, Georgetown?

Not quite but extremely close.

Is the island a state for its own?

It is an Overseas Territory of the UK

First discovered by the Portuguese in 1502

Terrain described as rugged, volcanic; small scattered plateaus and plains

Victoria, Seychelles

Too far east and wrong ocean!

cape verde

No - too far west!

Looks Caribbean.

Roseau, Dominica?

OK so we have the island thing going which is correct.

This place is just over half the size of Dominica.

Malta?

You are on the right track - but not the Med.

guess the city from a green car and a bus?????????

Well they are not supposed to be too easy!

Anyway a clue to start you off.

This is a capital but of a very small place.

Port Douglas

Not Port Douglas - and in a different part of the world.

Let's get the day going with this one

got it

Too late in the day for me to start another one so will leave it to you nightowls to keep the thread going.

what´s the city

Looks suspiciously like Gibraltar to me.

Well if it is not the Middle East then I am going to have to head off down south to Sao Paulo.

Looks distinctly Middle Eastern to me, so will start with Beirut.
