Correct Mr Head, another of mine that's taken about five minutes to get!

That was taken during the India V Pakistan test in December 2007.

I doubt very much you can see it from the A19. I may be wrong though. It depends how far away you're talking. But you're in the right area!
Give me your estimated Google Map coordinates and I'll tell yer!

I'd guess the Five Pillars of Islam but I'm no Oracle.

Hey, don't be mean. I can't help being too poor to be widely-travelled.
At least I don't know the name of every molehill in Sunderland :grin:

grabec · **Posted:** Mon Mar 02, 2009 2:17 pm

Well, I'm going to have to phone a friend.

Erm, how would you describe your location exactly?

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Mon Mar 02, 2009 3:57 pm

Grabec he's trying to pull the wool over your eyes with words like "specatular"!

:laugh:

grabec · **Posted:** Mon Mar 02, 2009 4:27 pm

I've buggered off because I'm geographically challenged and so have decided not to play any more. Not because I don't know what 'specatular' means. :wink:

Just a guess really, the clues were in the Oracle bit! I knew it wasn't the Temple of Apollo in Didim, Turkey, so guessed at Delphi!!

Just for the record the church was at Glendalough Monastery in The Solomon Islands.

Here's something from a very famous place.

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Wed Mar 04, 2009 2:45 pm

To be honest I haven't a friggin' clue who it is, except he's undoubtedly British, but I know WHERE it is!

There are actually some clues in the picture. :wink:

Is it Trafalgar Square Mr Head confised

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Wed Mar 04, 2009 3:58 pm

Er, yes, it is Trafalgar Square. :grin:

Did you get the clue about the pigeons then? :wink:

Usually everyone's so focused on Mike Nelson's Column and the fountain and the lions they never see the horse!

Montpoolier · **Posted:** Thu Mar 05, 2009 4:35 pm

Well it ain't either of the statues in Church Square but that definitely looks like a statue of someone with a gown on the plinth, so I'll have a guess and say...

...I haven't a fookin' clue. Finally, I don't think it's in it Artlepool after all.

That is correct so far Mr Head :grin:
