I meant boot. If it's not a cake topper then maybe part of a candle?

Sometimes it's worth a wild guess :)


This is another of my wild guesses but not sure if this one's right. It's not one of those birthday cake toppers is it? The other part that you're showing looks a bit like it might be a foot but not entirely sure.....

Grow up. No-one is cheating. You didn't answer correctly as Paulina said.

Just stop trashing threads.

It certainly does! Especially the trolls.
Quite surprised to see that I was a main contributor when I had my old account.


I'm not really a fan. Can't help feeling Pandora's box has been opened up.......

That got me thinking and with your other comments it's something you've obviously made.

I thought about your interests and I remembered a couple of times that you'd mentioned comics and that you'd done some Jim Lee drawings. You also mentioned superheroes before, specifically Captain America from Marvel films.

This is another of my off-the-wall guesses, but I decided to have a look at superheroes and I think you're making/have made the Iron Man suit/armour.


I don't think even this thread has escaped that.


I think it's exactly what he's doing. As soon as he came back he targeted this thread.

Scrub the earlier suggestion, my eyesight's rubbish these days. I thought the mystery object was made of some thick cardboardy type stuff but on closer inspection I think it's made of metal that's been heavily scratched. No idea at all at the moment.

It has a sort of concertina shape from what I can see. This is completely off the wall but it's not part of one of those old folding/bellows cameras is it?

Training a service dog to wear a muzzle by the looks of it. Stopping unwanted behaviour such as biting and to encourage obedience. Looks like a home environment so could also be to stop the dog scavenging for food scraps.

Yes, I got that far with był sobie yesterday morning.


So when you said, "what's going on?" did you mean that it's the opening of a fairy tale e,g Był sobie król ?

This isn't going to be right but is it anything along the lines of making a good match or a good fit?

UK, Ireland / Polish immigrants in the UK - victims or criminals?! [283]

I was reading today about a Polish woman named Izabela Zablocka. She came to the UK to work in 2009 and went missing in 2010.

Police have now found the remains of a body in the garden of a house. Although no formal identification has yet taken place, Derbyshire Police believe the body to be hers and what was a missing persons inquiry has now become a murder inquiry. Four people have been arrested.

Very sad. For her family, although it's terrible news, at least it's finally put an end to the years of wondering what had happened to her.

It is a Polish idiom and none of your definitions are correct.

In England. They spread across 3 counties, Worcestershire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire.

I was back there again yesterday doing some hiking. Had lunch sat on top of the Iron Age hill fort.

Is it the letting go of pointless arguments that lead nowhere, peace is valued more than the need to being proved right?

Is this to do with declining family wealth across three generations? When wealth is earned in the first generation, the ensuing entitlement means it's squandered by the third generation.


Actually, yes. That describes it well.

Not exactly, but I think there is a similarity. Maybe Gumishu can explain it better given that he's Polish.

To wake up with the hand in a potty means that one found oneself in a situation where it was too late to change or counter something, whereas closing the barn door after the horse has run out means that someone has tried to prevent something from happening, but it's too late, the damage has already been done.

In the UK, the phrase would be 'locking the stable door after the horses have bolted'.

Yes, that is the exact phrase I was thinking of.

I think for some people it is down to their personality type, they are always looking for something more. It's why some people do drugs and others are adrenaline junkies. Addictive type personalities.
