Title: Find-A-Town, Make a Word
Post by: Streak on November 12, 2013, 07:29:26 AM
Find-A-Town, Make a Word

The idea of this game is to ride and take pictures of your bike with the town or suburbs sign corresponding with the letters of the Motorcycle related word nominated in the game.

(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd499/ozstoc/WelcomeToToowoomba_zps55239c79.jpg)

When you have all the required first letters to make the word you post up your pictures and get to chose the next Find-A-Town word.

To make it more interesting, if you are not able to find a town starting with a particular letter you can have one "wild card" letter per word, BUT you must take that photo of a town sign starting with any letter in a humorous way to give us all a good laugh.

Some very basic rules:-

- The word must be motorcycle related and of no more than 6 letters
- One town to one letter, no double up of towns for double letters in a word
- Suburbs count as Towns.
- One wild card per word, (A humorous, But CLEAN picture of any Town/Suburb has to be posted)
- Referees Pocket Stocker/ST2UP, All Challengers and Disputes will be resolved by them


Example:     OzSTOC

Pics of your bike at say, Orange NSW, Zetland NSW, Sale Vic, Toowoomba QLD, Orbost Vic, Coutts water NSW.

Post the picture up and the word picture is yours.

So the first word, to get everyone started is: HONDA

Go Forth Find and Photograph!

Interesting... I'd imagine "Windscreen" and other long words might trip people up.

Also for double letters like the ee in windscreen, can we use the same town?

Close Williamson, but it has to be the Town or Suburb sign, with your motorcycle in front of it

Here is a picture below (without my bike as i am at work) of what you need to look for

The idea of this game is to ride and take pictures of your bike with the town or suburbs sign corresponding with the letters of the Motorcycle related word nominated in the game. ..........

When all else fails, read the instructions, and then back to square one then for me.

And it may take longer than I thought as I don't think Angusvale, despite being on the link Marus posted, has a township sign anymore, or perhaps for the last 100 years.   In these cases, does a directional sign post count?
Title: Re: Find-A-Town, Make a Word

Yeah I think it lists alot of dead towns... you'd have to google map you select from the list to double check

What about:-

Diamond Creek
Aberfeldie

Ahh some great interest already..... :thumbsup


Marcus.......Good plan with the cheat sheet  :wink1


Williamson...... Loving that Hotham Heights pic, that's one for the pool room  :clap


So to be eligible it needs to be a Picture of your bike or your bike with others in front of a Town or Suburbs sign, it may be the Town welcome sign, Towns elevation or population sign, but sign that clearly identifies and or promotes the Town or Suburb you are entering or leaving. A sign on the local post offices that say's i.e. Omeo Post Office established 1908 wont make the grade :p

The point of the game is to encourage us all to get snap happy on our travels, promote our passion and enjoy the ride  :thumbsup


Lets go explore  :runyay

Shyte, I could do those in my lunch break.   Three of those are my old stomping ground, and one is currently.   I'm not sure if you are gunna find a township sign for some of them.

Would a railway station sign do?

Title: Re: Find-A-Town, Make a Word
Post by: Pocket STocker on November 12, 2013, 05:49:55 PM
Below are some acceptable examples:

(http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q717/ST2UP/9e9e7ceb995dd4d4cbe66090a1821fe4_zpsc2da7c55.jpg)


(http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q717/ST2UP/53375fb9ec80cc0ff81c8f5d67b15973_zps2a5236a0.jpg)


(http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q717/ST2UP/03ee290272c0f94004cdce1dbf1ce9cb_zpsa834e77b.jpg)



So to be clear the sign needs to be a sign on the entrance or exist to a town/suburb, if the sign at the railway station on the edge of town is worded in a manner that welcomes and advises you are entering this town that's fine  :thumbsup

Looking forward to it Williamson  :thumbsup

Don't forget you can play a "Wild Card" letter per word if you need it.....if you cannot get "Angusvale" in this case grab a pic of ANY town sign with your bike in such a way as to give us a good laugh as per the basic rules and your the winner  :runyay and get to pick the next word......


Good luck and love the ride  :thumbsup

........ you can play a "Wild Card" letter per word if you need it.....

Noted, but I reckon the "Wild Card" should be kept up the sleeve and played infrequently.   And only if really needed, eg. if the next word is FLUX (as in flux capacitor).  There are no VIC towns starting with "X".

By the way, Marcus - thanks for the town name link.

Fantastic ride though  :thumbsup had a great pub lunch and a spending spree in an outdoors shop that had a sale on  :clap

Do some poor the quality, ya might need click on some of the photos to go to Photobucket, click on the "+" in the circle on the lower right outside of the image, and the on the "+" in the circle inside the lower right of the imnage, this will take you to a clearer image.

Here's hoping......

Not sure if the 'wild card' is needed for the Angusvale pic - it does have a welcome sign.

Well Williamson to quote a favourite movie off mine !!!

How do you want it ?  "Sugar coated OR straight between the eyes" ???????


Have to give you a " A " for effort but send you back to the drawing board for Angusvale  :whistle


A reminder to all, your wild card can be ANY town sign starting with ANY letter at all, presented in a humorous way, so while I got a giggle from Williamsons sign on the tent it didn't have a town sign in the Picture.


Thanks for playing Williamson  :Blow

There's even a "Welcome to Angusvale" sign on the camper annex - I went prepared on this ride to Angusvale.

Protest dually noted  :Chocies


But while we all have no doubt you where at Angusvale in East Gippsland Victoria there is no permanent fixed into the ground Town welcome type sign like the other pics taken.


So it's a respectful NO !!! But a very easy fix to make it a winner.

I.e. Go to your nearest town sign preferably in your own town in the busiest time of the day wearing your wife's best race day hat and grab a pic of you and the bike infront of the sign  :rofl  :rofl that would make you the winner of this round for sure  :p  :p

.... NO !!!

The first chance I get I'm heading to see my solicitor.

Right outside his office is a "Welcome to Alphington" sign.

PS. I don't see the purpose of a 'wildcard', if it can't be used for this type of situation.

"A reminder to all, your wild card can be ANY town sign starting with ANY letter at all, presented in a humorous way"

You got the humour right.  You got the name right.  But you missed the key part of the "wild card".  It has to be an actual town sign, not your residence at the site of a long abandoned town's site.    :-(((

I'm sure your Solicitor will concur (for a fee).     :grin

Do some poor the quality, ya might need click on some of the photos to go to Photobucket, click on the "+" in the circle on the lower right outside of the image, and then on the "+" in the circle inside the lower right of the image, this will take you to a clearer image.

Mmmmm, hoping to make the next 'solution' a bit quicker, we'll go with ULP.

I'm aiming to get out sometime this week.  I only get to ride every 2nd week at the moment since I have a foster child with a disability week on week off.  Can't exactly leave him home alone and go out riding.  Can't even ride to and from work since I have to drop him off at vacation care on the way.

then again, we're being threatened with another monsoon trough this week, with possibility of a cyclone by Wednesday.....

Oh well, if we gotta have rules and X's (that's what wildcards are for) we can have a compromise.  So how about:
 EXHAUST

We'll await the adjudicators decision.

I've taken the eyes-off-the-ball here Pete, haven't been on the bike for a while and forgot the camera and 'phone last few times.  Give it a day, or four - I might get out on Boxing Day.  I'm short a "Z" also, I don't think I'll get to Zeehan, Zeerust or Zumpsteins and back in a day, so I might have to use a wildcard.

Yes, thought that the "Z" and two "O's" would make it a challenge.    I'm off to Tassie after Christmas and might be able to get a "Z" to keep in the archive.   :wink1

The Zeehan pic does not meet this criteria:
...... it has to be the Town or Suburb sign, with your motorcycle in front of it.....



Title: Re: Find-A-Town, Make a Word
Post by: StinkyPete on February 24, 2015, 09:33:35 PM
Williamson, please allow me to plead my case to the adjudicators, having sought legal advice.

1.  "Town or Suburb" sign has not been defined in the rules.
2.  I respectfully suggest that it is most certainly a town sign, indicating that it is the Fire and Emergency Services facility in the town of Zeehan and not, for example,  in Hobart or any other town for that matter.  The sign clearly indicates the town in which the station is situated and is therefore in my submission, a town sign.
3.  It is clear from my photo that I visited the town of Zeehan, and ahve produced evidence of that visit, in keeping with the spirit of the game.
4.  I also refer you to my earlier post for "SCREEN" and the use of Eden Hills Fire Station sign for the letter "E", which passed adjudication by ST2UP.  Hence there is a clear precedent for using a town sign which is on a fire station.

I await a judgement from the game moderators on your appeal and my submissions in reply.
Title: Re: Find-A-Town, Make a Word
Post by: Brock on February 24, 2015, 10:26:07 PM
Hmmm,

Close call, I will allow the first decision to stand due to a precenence set a while ago.

Your people may be hearing from my people ......

 
..... my earlier post for "SCREEN" and the use of Eden Hills Fire Station sign for the letter "E", which passed adjudication by ST2UP.  Hence there is a clear precedent for using a town sign which is on a fire station...

A precedent?  Mmmmm ..... my position is that, that use of a fire station pic is acceptable because of the 'wild card' rule.  To be truly acceptable the use of the wild card should be declared - that one probably slipped by the adjudicators.

I again refer the adjudicators to these quotes:

.... to be eligible it needs to be a Picture of your bike or your bike with others in front of a Town or Suburbs sign, it may be the Town welcome sign, Towns elevation or population sign, but sign that clearly identifies and or promotes the Town or Suburb you are entering or leaving. A sign on the local post offices that say's i.e. Omeo Post Office established 1908 wont make the grade ....

.... to be clear the sign needs to be a sign on the entrance or exist to a town/suburb .....


This may need to be settled at Toowoomba, looser buys winner a beer (PS. I thinks I still owe you a beer for the little grommet thinghy you fabricated for me?)

This is like winning the Sydney-Hobart on appeal in the High Court, rather than by being the first over the line.   :fp

However, I note Williamson's concern and in the future will attempt to refrain from using "Town or Suburb" signs that may be controversial. (Is the precedent for the use of Photoshop still OK   :well)  As an aside, note that I could not find a sign at the entrance of the town of Zeehan and needed to settle for the fire station.   I guess it's off to Zurich then to grab a photo that will satisfy the critics.   :grin

I was thinking of passing through Zeehan next year after the Ulysses AGM, or Zumsteins, or Zeerust - might be a bit far to go to find out there ain't a township sign.

Damn!  Hell  Poop!  I knew I missed something when in Tassie.  Oh well, it looks like I'll have to make another trip.
 :runyay

I searched all the roads in an out of Zeehan, but could not find a sign, and hence I used the Zeehan Fire Station, which caused some robust discussion.  :grin

Agree, even though the Pinnaroo sign is a "farewell sign" rather than a "welcome sign".

I reckon Pinaroo is within the rules....

"take pictures of your bike with the town or suburbs sign"
       and
"So to be eligible it needs to be a Picture of your bike or your bike with others in front of a Town or Suburbs sign, it may be the Town welcome sign, Towns elevation or population sign, but sign that clearly identifies and or promotes the Town or Suburb you are entering or leaving"

I thought the sign was a nice bit of fun.  However, the grace you have extended to me might serve you well in the future.  :grin

The next challenge is TOPBOX

Some notes about these places and pics:

Tallangatta Valley - near Tallangatta (as the name implies), down a beautiful dead-end valley (for all but very hardened riders), lovely curvy, undulating road, no traffic, well worth the short detour if you have a spare 30 minutes up-your-sleeve next time you are in the area.

Omeo - I'm sure all Victorian riders have been there, and all that have not, want to go there, shame on you if you think otherwise.

Pretty Flat - it's surrounded by hills and mountains.

Bonalbo and Old Bonalbo - off the A, B & C roads, a lovely diversion if travelling in NE NSW / SEQ, between Killarney and Mallanganee.   https://goo.gl/maps/atciQ8kmfQz (https://goo.gl/maps/atciQ8kmfQz)

Xanadu - obviously my "wild card", this pic chosen because it was easy to modify in Paint, Xanadu means: an idealized place of great or idyllic magnificence and beauty, this was actually in Harden NSW which does live-up to this alternative - apologies to the residents of Harden.

No objections or rejections in nearly three months, I take that as "accepted".  So the next word is:

I thought that seeing as it was basically only us participating, making it a little more challenging wouldn't be a problem - you proved me right.

To add a bit more spice, how about the no. of letters increases by one, at least until it gets too hard to find a motorcycle related item with 32 letters. 

Mmmmmm, I wonder when (when could be judged when we have an item with the most letters) and where we will peak (where could be judged as the last town).

Over to you.

Well done Williamson, but I do have a concern with your Wildcard "A".   Rules state  "A humorous, But CLEAN picture of any Town/Suburb has to be posted"   and while I fail to see the humor, previous adjudication has allowed this pic.  In addition, is "National Park" a town????

Yeah Williamson- on yer bike and go find a town or suburb starting with N.     :-(((      :grin

"Any Town" is kinda funny since you Photoshopped a sign to get it.

I deduce from all the foregoing it's OK to reuse town signs in further "solutions".  So I should be out there collecting the alphabet with a few common doubled letters.

I suppose "National Park" is a town.  It has a hotel (it's address is 2366 Gordon River Rd, National Park TAS 7140), a caravan park, a few B & B's and houses, on the Gordon River Road about halfway between Westerway and Maydena.  It also has enough development to have a 950m 70km/h speed limit between two "National Park" signs and 100km/h speed limits.

Some of our Taswegian colleagues may be best adjudicating on this matter.

If / when you are next in Tasmania, (IMO) it would be worthwhile travelling through National Park, not to check out the township (although it might be worth a stop), but to ride the Gordon River Road to Strathgordon, and back.  It's gotta be one of the best motorcycle roads in this part of Tassie.

Having done a Google Map search for "National Park, Tasmania" it comes up as a specific location rather than a National Park.   It has a pub, phone box, and the usual "town" signs associated with a change of speed limit at each end of the town, rather than the Brown or Green tourist destination signs, and in the spirit of the game, Williamson has produced the evidence of having been there on the ST.

On that basis, and also on the previous adjudication of his suspect humor and photo-shopped "AnyTown", I'm prepared to accept Williamson's original post for "SWINGARM".  Let the game continue, unless our mods intervene.   :thumbsup

Yikes!  My Achilles Heal is the "A" town.  Not sure if I have another "A", having used Avenel (north and south approaches, and Anytown in a very early post).  I 'spose I better get into to the photobucket and see what dwells in there.

If I don't find anything, it'll be a while until I can get out and about on the ST.  This is because as of 11:00am tomorrow Helen and I board a big silver bird (well an Air New Zealand jet) for eight weeks in CAN and USA.  There'll be pics and plenty from our road trip in a rental Nissan, may be a chance for a few short rides on some loaner ST, maybe ..........

Back to the thread, the big challenge is really finding a 13 letter word to respond with.

Welcome back Pete.

Well done Williamson.   I wait with considerable apprehension for your next challenge, and feel that we are close to calling this game a draw.

What's this?  Use your imagination Pete, there are plenty of words to go.  At least I've found a whole new list of car & motorcycle parts.  A quick review found a couple with 20 letters, but I'll start with a 13 letter word.

Seitenairbags - did I mention these are German words, this is German for side air bags.

Reference here: https://www.thoughtco.com/automobile-and-driving-glossary-4074664 (https://www.thoughtco.com/automobile-and-driving-glossary-4074664)

Dropped the ball, been busy, playing other silly games ......

The word is öldruckmesser (the on-line English to German dictionary tells me this is an oil pressure gauge).  I think we can substitute an o for the ö.

A fourteen letter motorcycle word might be a challenge, and I'm determined that it should be English (or I could just make one up that is in Old Valarian or Klingon)    Will two words be acceptable to those who are playing the game?   If so, we still might get to 26 letters.   :grin

Yes.  But a hyphenated word would be better, more appropriate than two.

So do we have a current word?

This game has stalled a bit.   Since Williamson and I were the only players, we decided to add one letter to the challenge each time. I reluctantly met Wilimason's last challenge of thirteen letters with a German word for "oil pressure guage", not convinced that a foreign language word is appropriate.    We had a chat at Halls Gap and decided that two English words should be OK, so it's my challenge to nominate a two word motorcycle term of fourteen letters.  If other players are keen to be involved, I'm happy to revert to the original rules of a six letter motorcycle term, and step back from using my extensive library of Town Letter Photos to give others a go at completing the challenges.  I've been a bit slack and not given any attention to this game lately.

VALVES will be difficult, I only have one 'V' town in my library, and I've already used it.  Time to go for a ride methinks.  Only problem is I will be away for 10 days, taking the RAV4, won't get any bike pics until weekend of 3 & 4 February.

Post by: Biggles on January 16, 2018, 08:00:11 PM
I see "Ibusuki" but not sure how we get to allow "Nagashima" since it is an English forum after all.

I went out this arvo, hunting.  Too many suburbs and even local small towns have no signs.  Frustrating.  Plenty of business signs, but that's not the game.

I found an "N" for chains but it was on a round-about and I wasn't stopping there after having a Copper pull up beside me at an earlier sign and point out a "No Standing" (i.e. an "S" with a slash) sign 5 metres behind me.  He let me go but it sure adds to the challenge!  Funnily, in the time it took him to explain my sin, (I had to take my helmet off to hear him across the car) he had accumulated two vehicles behind him on what is a fairly quiet street.

Good luck with the "Vs" Shillas.  There are only three widely spread across Brisbane, and one of those is only a locality, not a suburb or town.

Some very basic rules:-
- One town to one letter, no double up of towns for double letters in a word
- One wild card per word, (A humorous, But CLEAN picture of any Town/Suburb has to be posted)

Does Vale View count as a double up?  We have a Valley View here and I think there was a Victoria Valley near Halls Gap, although I didn't see a sign for the latter when I went there.

Mmmmm ........ a bit sus!!

The idea of this game is to ride and take pictures of your bike with the town or suburbs sign corresponding with the letters of the Motorcycle related word nominated in the game.


I suppose if one squints for a long, long time and imagines that they can see a reflected view of your motorbike in your helmet visor, they may be able to convince themselves that this pic is eligible.

Is that we supposed to do BG?

Those of us with a keen eye (Pete) may notice that I've posted an ST pic with the Ida Bay sign in the background previously, like here:

But this is a different pic.

PS.  Looking back, I have duplicated a few pics.  It hasn't been picked up by now, so I reckon I have got away with it.

Thanks for the tip.  Now I'm in the game, I'll be watching!    :-(((
I hadn't previously twigged that it was acceptable to have more than one sign from a town.  Now I'm awake up to that, it has enlarged my collection a bit.

So...  What's the 6 letter word, Willy?

Mmmmm ........ a bit sus!!

The idea of this game is to ride and take pictures of your bike with the town or suburbs sign corresponding with the letters of the Motorcycle related word nominated in the game.


I suppose if one squints for a long, long time and imagines that they can see a reflected view of your motorbike in your helmet visor, they may be able to convince themselves that this pic is eligible.

Is that we supposed to do BG?


The two white bars in the bottom corners are the mirrors of the bike, so some of the bike is clearly visible.

I've got one of those USB port multipliers that gives me 4 ports off one.  I needed it when I got a USB printer.  The downside is when it's turned on it throws the lappy's second port that I use frequently from F drive to G drive which upsets a back-up batch file that I run.

Waaay too many letters!    :p

There's a dispensation for lack of locality sign if you can find a Rural Firebrigade, district Hall or similar with the sign.
But you get shamed if someone can find a genuine roadside sign for the location.

HOOTERS

Whilst we are waiting on a towns response ........

An item high on the priorities on our 2017 CAN / USA trip was a visit to a Hooters. I had a rush of blood, when out of the corner of my eyes I caught site of a Hooters sign on the side of a small town country café in Kremmling CO.   Braked hard, reversed back to the car park entrance, Helen wanted to know why? This why ........

(http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu159/williamson_photos/USA%20CAN%202017/Small%20Towns/IMG_1879_zps33pt3tdp.jpg) (http://s643.photobucket.com/user/williamson_photos/media/USA%20CAN%202017/Small%20Towns/IMG_1879_zps33pt3tdp.jpg.html)

Excitement turned to disappointment and Helen's amusement, when I read the sign carefully, but we were stopped, needed a coffee fix, so went inside.

It may not have been a real Hooters, but the talent was good. So was the coffee.

Similar thing happened a couple days later in Rifle, CO.  Stopped in the main street for lunch and spotted this out the corner of my eye.

(http://i643.photobucket.com/albums/uu159/williamson_photos/USA%20CAN%202017/Small%20Towns/shooters-grill_zpsj2joaobr.jpg) (http://s643.photobucket.com/user/williamson_photos/media/USA%20CAN%202017/Small%20Towns/shooters-grill_zpsj2joaobr.jpg.html)

Again, excitement was quickly replaced by disappointment, but I can wait until the next trip to the US of A.

End hi-jack, and now return to normal viewing.

Goodo.  One observation.  Direction signs like Evanston are a dime a dozen.  They're not the town signs we struggle to get after seeing plenty of the direction and direction with distance signs.  I'd call it a kinda wildcard.

Goodo.  One observation.  Direction signs like Evanston are a dime a dozen.  They're not the town signs we struggle to get after seeing plenty of the direction and direction with distance signs.  I'd call it a kinda wildcard.


Mmmmm ......... we seem to have departed from the original intent and challenge of the game, quite a bit.  A little effort into "Widlcards", eg:

and

....... is after all only a little effort.  Come on fellas, raise the bar.

Here's the original rule on use of a wildcard, just as a reminder.

"One wild card per word, (A humorous, But CLEAN picture of any Town/Suburb has to be posted)"

I did say a wild card as there are four Evanston suburbs in said area, none of which had proper signs.  Believe me, I looked.  The sign I posted was in Evanston's borders.  Where was your O?

no more wild cards from me

 I used a bona fide wildcard, defined as a "humorous, But CLEAN picture of any Town/Suburb"- that bike procession through town had a humorous situation of a dog in a trike.
There were no signs for our suburb "Virginia" when I needed a "V" but I just let someone else have it while I looked for a "V" place sign.
Simples.

A simple cut 'n' paste and sort in Excel would suffice.

Title: Re: Find-A-Town, Make a Word
Post by: StinkyPete on May 03, 2018, 11:53:24 AM
Here's the rules from the first post in this thread.....

"Some very basic rules:-
- The word must be motorcycle related and of no more than 6 letters
- One town to one letter, no double up of towns for double letters in a word
- Suburbs count as Towns.
- One wild card per word, (A humorous, But CLEAN picture of any Town/Suburb has to be posted)
- Referees Pocket Stocker/ST2UP, All Challengers and Disputes will be resolved by them"


Town names can be used more than once, but you can't use two signs for the one town in one challenge.      ++

Post by: Biggles on May 03, 2018, 01:43:22 PM
I misunderstood also, and have assiduously marked the names I have as being "used".
Otherwise we just sit here and chuck the same old photos up without going for a ride to get new ones.  So why did you get three "V"s, Pete, when there's unlikely to be a six letter bike part with three Vs in it?
I suspect that's what Williamson thought also, as he was mumbling about needing to go for a ride to collect vowels (as we all do, since they are far less common than consonants, especially "S" and "B" around here.

Me too!  But I'll check the link when I get home.

In the meantime, if other viewers can or can't see the Greta South pic, please post a response.  I need to know if the problem is with Mr Big or me.

Very odd.  I'm using Chrome which is usually reliable.  I checked Internet Explorer and it's visible there.
So it's a Chrome problem.  Dunno why it's just that one photo, though.  Is it hosted at a different place?

That suite of pics are hosted on Photobucket (PB).  I usually use PB, have for years and years.  Went to IMGBB for a little while around 12 month when PB were playing funny buggers, we have kissed and made up now though.  I find PB easier to use than IMGBB.

Just got in an hour or so ago with a bunch of Town and Suburb signs in the bag.  I have 10 day's worth of stuff to catch up on,  but will be onto the photos ASAP. 
I take Williamson's points on board,  but I'm just glad to see the game moving again.  We cut each other a bit of slack in the spirit of the game and abide by our own standards.  At least there aren't any wildcard pix there, so in the absence of an official adjudicator I'm willing to say it's a fair spelling.
If we are to be pedantic, the title says "Town" and we've broadened it to Suburbs and Cities.  It's a bit of a stretch to call a shire a town.  Municipality yes, borough (sounds like something SA would have) maybe, but shires are a district encompassing potentially numerous towns and geographical features.
Anyhoo, I'll be along soon, unless Williamson or Pete beat me to it.
And anyone else willing to look weird stopping in hopeless locations photographing signs- please join in.    :thumbs
You can reuse towns that have already been used by others- just put your own bike in the pic.  You can use different signs from the same town.  In the interest of not having a static collection that you just keep recycling, there's an understanding that once you use a town's sign, you have to go looking for another sign with the required initial letter, and your "used" pic gets filed for another occasion.
The rules are up there somewhere- there's provision for a Wildcard- check the parameters up there...   :grin

I think we might have to agree, to disagree on that matter.  But seeing as I seem to be out on a limb and by myself on this one, I'll let this one go (except for some comments on boroughs below to learn Bill something).

What you see is the screen of my bike (the black bit in the bottom right corner), but my mate's bike is also in the picture behind the white ute.


Mmmmm ....... as above, the original thread; http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=5610.0 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=5610.0)

An extract:  The idea of this game is to ....... take pictures of your bike with the ....... sign.

IMHO, a pic of an almost indistinguable part of a bike, or a pic someone else's bike are not in the spirit of the game. 

Boroughs

Having worked with or at local government in Victoria since the mid 70's, this something I know a little about.  In Victoria we used to have 210 Councils.  In 1994, the Kennett Government dissolved the 210 councils and created 78 new councils.   Incidentally he also sacked 1,600 elected councillors - so it wasn't so bad after all.   In 2002, the Shire of Delatite was split into the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield, so we now have 79 Councils.

According to my Victorian Municipal Directory 1986, the 210 Councils included Eaglehawk Borough, Kerang Borough, Port Fairy Borough, Queenscliffe Borough, Sebastopol Borough and Wonthaggi Borough.  Wikipedia now tells us that the Borough of Queenscliffe (don't why the name switcharoo) is now the only Borough left in Victoria.

We also had a City of Maryborough in Victoria, this was proclaimed in 1857 (before the City of Maryborough in Queensland which was proclaimed in 1861).  The City of Maryborough merged with the Shire of Bet Bet (near our Dunolly RTE earlier this year) and the Shire of Tullaroop in 1995.

That is an offence.

Too close to a roundabout?   Mind you, it can be risky asking a Police officer, "and which regulation would that be?"  In VIC, that might end up costing more than just time.

I had a funny one south of Kempsey a couple of years ago when I was pulled over for one of the sins I was caught out committing. The Cop spent literally 15 minutes sitting in his car going through his book of infringements looking for the offence and associated penalty and finally let me off with the warning that if I did "it" again, he'd book me.  I wasn't sure it was even an offence, but another Copper told me since that it is in the book, but seldom seen.

No responses for five months!
Are there any newcomers interested in playing?
To revive the game, I propose that previous players (except me) may reuse any of their towns ONCE more. 

Williamson?  Bodø?

The current word is HINGES.

I'm liking those "display" town signs lately, like your "Euroa".

So what's the next bike-related word, Williamson?  Can you see the list of words already used?

And Pete- I'm hoping you're finding some great town names around Oz.
