From Ladbroke Grove to Notting Hill

[venta]

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.

Oh, it's like SWYS! (After music, my biggest expense on my iPhone is on SWYS panels

Hm, I'm up to 51, and running out of clue!

I *think* it's a sounds-like hay-nought and that's supposed to be a zero in the middle of the hay bale - that was my justification anyway,

I did get them all in the end, but needed a bit of help googling to work out that the rabbit wasn't in a *warren* but there was another word for a rabbit hole which was a bit like a tube station, and it helped a lot once I was using a list of tube stations which included the DLR.

I still think the one for the nuns was a bit rubbish.

Yeah, I did this, spent an entire train journey to Wakefield and home again doing this. I think a couple were pretty dodgy though - the one with the mouse, I remember. By time I / we got to the end when we had about fifteen or so left, we got out the tube map and still struggled to work out some of them.

If this link works, it's another bit of tube-related fun - http://www.scoreexchange.com/scores/101519.html

Nooooo I finished this last week and now I'm getting all dragged back into it watching you people playing! More of my day wasted (it wasn't going to take much to be honest).

Argh, I have two yet to get (the telly-stealing guy and the dead pig); this is going to keep me up all night!

Augh! I really am supposed to be at work.

Thank the gods I didn't look at this until today. Would have screwed up my revision royally. As it is, this was a lunchtime I'll never get back and I still haven't got that bloody fish!
