Day by DayNo man is an island, entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. John Donne.

Just to keep you occupied over Easter. The top object is situated on a footpath outside a shop in Napier. What is it? Ok, I've given you a clue with the updated image. The bottom shot was taken in a Gents toilet in Christchuch. What is the sign referring to? And did the photographer get some curious stares while taking the shot? I'll answer that. Yes!   This one is an ad from the University of Canterbury inviting the user to "Aim higher" by enrolling in one of their courses. Quite imaginative, I thought, and certainly right in the face of the user.  |

| Sorry, not even warm, Dee. I thought the wording of at least one line of the lower one would be visible. I had to admire the ingenuity of the organisation in placing the sign where they did. |

6/4/2007 - Ok... (submission from myself and my son)

| Maybe its a thing that can plug into your mobile phone, at least four different chargers available depending on your phone, for the instances where your battery has gone flat.
(P.s. My son said a drinking tap too.. then the above guess, and I added 'well thats what I was thinking'... so here goes, am submitting it) ??? |

6/4/2007 - No, but certainly imaginative.

| The updated image should give you a better idea. |

6/4/2007 - Well.. firstly
| Posted by deena |
| its a great photographic shot! LOL.. very touristy.. and I love it! ha Secondly...does that mean that you can scan your tattslotto tickets to see if you have a winner, than rather queuing up in a shop, or even for that matter, actually 'buy' lotto tickets at that contraption. Or is that side advertisement sign, just a co-incidental distraction to throw me off the track?
As for the bottom pic... Maybe an advertisement for golf balls? Brand of a garden hose? Do NOT ask me why these guesses popped into my head. |

6/4/2007 - Getting closer
| Posted by snowy |
| But no. Think what else Lotto shops sell besides Lotto tickets.
I posted the answer to the bottom one, as I could see that the old eyes of Blognowers would never be able to read it. And besides, I could see that Dee's imagination was going into overload... And thanks for the compliments for the shot, Dee. It does look rather ..... festive to me. No, that's not a clue... Edited by snowy on 6/4/2007 at 1:57 AM |

6/4/2007 - LOLOLOL
| Posted by deena |
| Yes.. great placement for that advertisement. That really did give me a smile. Hey.. I would've whipped out the camera too, if having seen that! Certainly tickles my funny bone, so thanks for posting Snowy. And yes.. thank goodness you saved me from further, umm err...embarrassment.. (*wiping sweat off the brow*). Now thats 'why!' I prefer being on the other side of the game so to speak. Making a guess is far toooo revealing - not for the answer to the conundrum but perhaps of what lays hidden in the guessee's mind... Big smiles. Now.. as for the 'what the' pic.. well... newsagency and lotto shops can sell all sorts of things.. cigarettes, lollies, chewies, newspapers, batteries, condoms.. lol
I need another clue, or 10 more minutes, or a calming cup of tea. |

6/4/2007 - Certainly "in your face".

| I wonder how effective the ad is. I suppose they'll never know. I can't imagine anyone ticking the "ad in toilet" box in the questionnaire. Then again, I know some who'd tick it just for fun. I'm wondering if there was an equivalent in the ladies' loo. Now there's a challenge for that overactive imagination, Dee. Think of a suitable ad. "Ladies, you don't need to be a squatter to afford our uni" comes to mind.
And no, you didn't pick the other thing sold at Lotto shops. Think, Dee, think! Scratch your head. Scratch anything, but think!!! |

| LOL...!
LOL... ok.. thinking thinking thinking... LOL I know that they also sell 'white-out' for those little blogger embarrassing comments/mistakes one makes from time to time on their PC screens. Now.. I was just complainging (over at my blog) that I havent had my 'nanna nap' after the big Easter lunch, even though there may be others that have. Thinks now might be a good time. LOL. *wink*...Dee Thanks for the fun! Edited by deena on 6/4/2007 at 2:59 AM |

6/4/2007 - oh..
| Posted by deena |
| now just in case you really really worry over me...
(Yes I get it, I get it...- a scratch-it ticket).. the answer lying there.. 'in my face'.. the whole time! LOL.... now where did I put that 'white-out' PC screen liquid....its here somewhere... we'll just remove these last few comments shall we? lol |

6/4/2007 - Yes!!! They sell scratchies.

| But what's the table for? Edited by snowy on 6/4/2007 at 3:14 AM |

6/4/2007 - Well...
| Posted by deena |
| I guess it is an interesting contraption isnt it? Would certainly give you a little smile - a place where once having a scratchie in your hand, and being that 'addictive' type, can immediately use the table, and the little steel springy thingy with the steel penny type thingy to scratch away before your breathing becomes too laboured! LOL.. Very ingenious indeed! So thats two for two..(challenging pics) Well done Snowy.. I really enjoyed this post. Loved it. Big smiles Dee |

6/4/2007 - You done good, Dee.
| Posted by snowy |
| My son booted me off the PC for a couple of hours. He's bigger than me...
Yes, I was quite intrigued that someone would go to all that trouble when I just scratch them with my fingernail. Someone's pride and joy I guess. Your hardware description seemed spot on to me. Glad you enjoyed it. I did too. Now, back to the crossword. |

| Well I wish my son would 'boot' me back ON to my PC... my internet keeps dropping out constantly (problems my end, Im afraid, not BN) so hence the slow replies.
I'm just nerdy enough to appreciate clever gadgets when I see them though...so thanks for the fun this end! lol. Big smiles Dee |

6/4/2007 - Is the top shot...
And the bottom pic.. the sign.. perhaps..."Simply Simplistic... When the best things in life are kept simple".... or "No muss, no fuss".lol..or.... some brand name of bathroom-ware that is known for its logo/advertising catchphrase as 'streamlined/simple lnes'...(mmm... I'd best to keep it simple..lol.. I may be back later!). Big smiles Dee
