Hello LJ. Are you looking for a way to waste time today?

You are?

Last night, Sally asked me whether I'd seen the Look for Longer posters on the Tube.

I had not.

Shame, she said, she couldn't solve the last few.

Eh?

Look, she said, it's online. It's a big picture[*] containing various images designed to represent Tube stations. The online version is clickable, and will tell you when you've solved them correctly.

Which explains why, at twenty to two this morning, Sally and I were sitting on the sofa with glasses of wine (and a cat, who was not helpful) shouting tube stations at each other.

You can find the puzzle here.

Warning: at least some of the ones I've found so far are a bit tenuous. I accept no responsibility. And if anyone can explain Hainault to me, that'd be lovely.

[*] Interestingly, as soon as I saw it, I said "I bet that's something to do with Virgin". It reminded me very much of a similar scene containing images representing bands which they produced a few years ago.

Ah, and the dog one1
Which still leaves me with nine I haven't got (I figured out the footballer), even though the thingy says I've got 67. Mysterious!

The version I did had little tags on each answer so I just made sure there were none of those left when I'd finished. Not sure if you're version has the tags though!

Maybe two of pictures are actually one tube station? Fishglue Proximity, or Save Telly From Burny Hole. I'm sure they're on the DLR somewhere.

(I don't know, I haven't got 'em either!)

Yes, I think they must be; how often I've passed through Rubbishy-fountain-next-the-burst-drum on my way somewhere else in London...

Saving Telly from Burny Hole - Tottenham South in August last year?

The fish one is actually...shitty and annoying.

I really wanted it to be Turnpike Lane :(

Which is a better answer than the one it actually is.

The burny hole is Holborn, surely?
