Look at that piece of shit shard there, just fucking it up like fucking hell.
Even worse from up north...
what ever did happen to those protected sightlines?
-
good effort though^
I should point out that is definitely in a public space, and going back to that 'ship', technically there are two of them -
Always listen to your Doktor, there's always time for bike tag!
Old: Crystal Palace Gardens, South Terrace, near to Noodle Time:
New:
Look out! there's a hulking great ship behind you
-
oops, that was meant for Doktor P.
The clue itself refers to something near it, not actually the place itself. I'm sure a lot of us have been there before at some point. -
^ Soz, I can't get this one, I'd happily go, but too busy.
If it helps I actually got by doing a bit of detective work on those who've commented on it, working out their stomping ground, not too stalkerish I hope! -
any chance of a clue?
it is possible from Polka Dot's clue, not much Google Time needed ;)
no camera today :(
-
lovin the puns.
If I'm not very much mistaken, the current tag has revealed a slight error in the beloved map.
The gates of this graveyard were a tag a long long while back but for some reason never made it to the map. Thanks to whatok's very own referencing tool I could easily go back and find which tag it was! -
...someone would stand at the down-wind end of the pipe with a sack to catch the well-fed rats as they were blown out.
A fun way to start the day! Didn't know about the Surrey one or the Devon one. Lots here: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_railway"]wiki[/ame]
Good dropping by SE last night, sorry to have missed you Si!
-
last one for a while...
old: Cox Walk Footbridge, over a disused railway to Crystal Palace
made famous by Camille Pissarro who used it as a vantage point for 'Lordship Lane Station' (1871) that hangs in the Courtauld Gallery:
now, when you say the word Cox on a Tuesday night, where's the first place you think of!?
-
really like this tag 6pt, enjoying the story behind it
-
^ Ha! I couldn't see any bi-directional ones there though.
think I'll fahgettaboud including quite so much geeky info next time...(Map updated)
-
^it was tag 135, the one that KT Bee and Cycloton3k famously battled for. (Not the same place as this tag)
-
Well done Dimitry.
Bow Locks, apparently there's been a lock of sorts on the site from at least the reign of Edward 1 (1272 -1307)Geeky info:
As MoN said, these are clever 'bi-directional' locks since it's tidal on one side and sometimes the water level 'downstream' can in fact be higher than it is upstream. They need an additional set of gates pointing in the reverse direction for the locks to function properly. Better explanation here. -
Old: 'Gulliver' reclining in a former sandpit, by Trevor Tennant, (Dora St, near Limehouse) info here
Took me ages, thought it was a Henry Moore, bo*locks!
Speaking of which:
-
Hold your fire guys and gals, this one's my last.
Just to say I enjoyed your tags!Good luck wherever you're heading
-
Oops.
uploding to long :(
Oh NO Doktor P!! :(
We must have been there within minutes of each other
like the bike too... -
Right then, old,
a round church (St John's) on the corner of Queens Drive and Gloucester Drive, Finsbury ParkNew one, in celebration of Sunday's tagging event, the nearest alley cat I could find:
"*Turn again, Whittington"
*This famous^ London feline is visiting his local library -
I'm stumped too, I've been trying variations on King Henry, Queen Elizabeth, (King / Queen etc), Pope, Canterbury, Abbot... no luck yet
a google image search for 'round building london' even yielded a photo of a fellow forumenger's black Dolan (p.13).
-
Christ, I haven't seen web safe colours mentioned for a long time.
yes, obviously no need for web colours to be 'safe' any more, it was just to narrow down the choice a bit from 16m to 216!
I have very un-democratically chosen FFCC33 otherwise known as 'yellow' for the tags since 200, but it's easy to change. I just thought it might get confusing if the black ones (1-100) get reused for 200-300 too.
-
been experimenting with BlueQuinn's suggestion...
quite easy to change the colour and number
code for the icon is:
http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_spin&chld=0.75|-0|CC3333|12|_|221to change the number, just change the last three
to change the colour you change the CC3333 bit to one of the different colours hereany thoughts/preferences?

Bonnington Cafe then gatecrash a wedding reception in the Crypt of St Giles Camberwell, worked for me :)

No need to trawl through 79 pages: http://www.lfgss.com/post2343369-3813.html
That tank tag was the first one I thought of doing till I noticed it had been done on that rather brilliant map that oat44 made
Ha! As 6pt said up there ^^^^^ I can't take the credit for the map - 6pt started it and various people have updated it on the way. I just updated it from 173 to 213.
It IS a brilliant map no question!
That tiny url in the tags below is a brain wave, never seen it until now -
oooh tempted, for the whole bike, dibs for me, pm to follow
-
Snake your way there.
give away!
