I haven't seen a thread on here yet this year...? The quiz is out; https://quiz.ifour.co.uk/
up to 63/80 without too much effort so far!
Oh, nice.
Rattled through 30, going to go watch TV for a bit now.
Just found it. 29 so far.

40 before starting to get bored. Not as interesting as some of the earlier ones.

Pink handbag and the compass and telescope are eluding me
50 and struggling now
Who uses a compass and telescope? There aren’t that many famous ones to choose from…
ISTR the pink handbag being a red herring in previous iterations - I could easily be wrong though, I found it last night and quickly whipped up to 50 with the obvious ones.
The annoying one for me is the book of the tv series by a crusty old national treasure, only it isn’t…
The annoying one for me is the book of the tv series by a crusty old national treasure, only it isn’t…
Have you got it? unless I misunderstood, they made a bit of a mistake on that one!
No not yet...
There are a lot of clues that can lead you down the wrong path so I've gone through other names connected to it.
My thoughts are now moving towards other naturalists instead.
I think they might have fixed it - the original crusty old bloke's name has just worked!
The guinness clue is bugging me - neither the actual one or the actor one works...
28...all the ones I got I knew but about 8 I couldn't remember the name...like them all I suspect there are many clues eluding me as I'm just a bit thick and don't see the connection but I'll keep going back for more in case I have moments of clarity!
Addictive but annoying.
Re: Guinness - you are in the right place but the beer isn't spelled in quite the same way.
Yey, been waiting for this. Couldn't find any mention of it anywhere and nearly started a thread asking yesterday morning.
Anyway, I guess that's me finished being productive at work for the rest of the year.
Up to 50 now. Obviously I need loads more, but a few are doing my head in.
Re: Guinness – I think the answer they are accepting is the wrong spelling
Been dipping in and out all day and now up to 58. When is it appropriate to start sharing tips? I'm not sure I can see another 22 clues.
Currently on 59 and there are clearly a few obvious ones that I've missed. Any clues on the following (not necessarily the answers):
1 - Glass of milk
2 - Sale tag
3 - Bridle
4 - The drawing on the right hand side of the bar column
5 - Fox/M on beer tap
6 - Bird with blue breast
7 - Jack of spades
8 - Signature drink/blue
9 - French horn
10 - The duck
11 - Gold C/bee
Then I have some questions around what is and what isn't a clue/name:
- I have four of the beer labels on the column plus one on the hand pump - how many others do I need?
- Is the lamp on the column (beneath the hat) a clue?
- Is the seagull different to the crow or is it all one?
- Duck in cupboard above fruit machine?
Which still leaves me with 5+ to identify.
48 and struggling
can see some of the obvious clues but can work them out - the wasps nest, the honeycomb C, the st bernard, the duckling, telescope & compass, french horn, glass of milk, slaes tag - but can't get anywhere with them.
but that also means there 30+ ish clues that i'm not even seeing!
4 – The drawing on the right hand side of the bar column
the shark on the black board??
St Bernard is a famous kids movie and the same name as someone famous.
As above telescope and compass would be useful to which type of person? And then think of some of the most famous of those.
@sofaboy73 - I think it was better explained as a wasps nest.
I have the shark on the blackboard (and it's not a whale as I first thought).
Hopefully vague enough tips to keep it challenging;
It's not a duckling, think of another bird.
The bee and the big C are part of the same clue.
Ignore the nest, it's the wasps that will give you the answer
With the St. Bernard, think of a film.
I'm a stuck on the horses reins,
the ceiling painting,
The shark drawing,
The seagull,
Arrrghhh!
10 – The duck
it's not a duck, it's a goose
the ceiling painting
its what you think it is, just spelt wrong
The shark drawing
drawing from a film
I've just noticed the broomstick (a Nimbus 2000) but can't seem to get any of the obvious actors/characters in.
With the seagull it may be connected to the crow as the yellow dot sits where their tails meet. Or at least, I don't have anything extra for the seagull.
With the seagull it may be connected to the crow as the yellow dot sits where their tails meet. Or at least, I don’t have anything extra for the seagull.
Oh, I have 2 separate ones for the crow and seagull. Yellow dot on each body. That must mean 3 clues between the two birds.
@pocpoc - sounds like it. [Scurries off to work out the other two parts...]
32 at first pass during a big work meeting. Looking forward to plugin away at this.
The small bird below the pub sign is a Red-Spotted Bluethroat.
This is of no help as the answer they are after is a very different bird. Bit weird.
been stuck on 51 for a while now, the obvious clues im struggling with:
crow & seagull - i've got the connect answers but not the individual ones
the other small bird
the maths symbols tour flyer by the birds
French horn
wasps
telescope & compass - tried all the explorers i can think of
bee / honeycomb C
sale tag
candle in fish bowl
glass of milk
smoke by the light
USA graffiti
but even i got all of those i'm still missing c 15 clues!
I'm sure the beer labels on the wall are all clues as they are readable...but I can't get the connections.
The compass/telescope - I think this person was meant to be going east but ended up west...
Broomstick isn't one of the actors...
I’m sure the beer labels on the wall are all clues as they are readable…but I can’t get the connections
there's at least 2 separate answers in them
The compass/telescope – I think this person was meant to be going east but ended up west…
gah - was spelling it wrong!
Also Struggling with:
the other small bird
the maths symbols tour flyer by the birds
French horn
candle in fish bowl
glass of milk
USA graffiti
..plus...
umbrella
X above the seagul
seagul/crow joint clue
horse reins
pink handbag
roman emperor (?) next to horse reins
wooden duck + plate
sunflowers
can help with...
wasps - what do they do to you?
telescope & compass – big 15th century "discovery"
bee / honeycomb C - it's like an old fashioned dingbat in its logic. Don't focus on the honeycomb or colour of the C
sale tag - zoom right in and there is a mis-spell of their alter-ego
smoke by the light - rapper (I think)
Currently on 60/80
Maths symbols...I suspect that would be allowed in their own pub wall.
Maths symbols relates to a musician as does "smoke" by the light - it's not smoke.
Another name for USA and someone associated with that "title".
Explorers - keep going, it's a famous old one.
Less obvious ones:
There's a clue hidden in the glass panel at the top left of the photo.
There are two clues on the chalkboard top right and one in the wood panel immediately below
Wooden head in the bar next to the bridle (don't really thing that's less obvious)
Phone and post-it note are two clues
Bar snacks is one
I think the Roman head got crossed by his mates...
Just spotted slippers under a bar stool...
Bl**dy broomstick needs very specific typing of the name.
Up to 71 but i still need:
The crow
Sale label
Glass of milk
Wasps
Robin with a bluebeard
Harpo on the blackboard looks like it should be one
which would still leave 3 i cant see...
The blackbird may require a chat with your Neighbours...
Sale label is telling you what about the item?
I've plateaued at 44
bee / honeycomb C – it’s like an old fashioned dingbat in its logic. Don’t focus on the honeycomb or colour of the C
and some miss-pronunciation !
Harpo is one. Nothing to do with Marx, but consider it the other way round.
Harpo on the blackboard looks like it should be one
it is, you've just got to look at it in a different way
The milk horseshoe and reigns are all part of the same clue
I think the Roman head got crossed by his mates…
Ah, just turns out I can't spell
55 but now most are guesses or relying on the suggestions on this thread...
61/80 and struggling.
Something Blue
French Horn
Little Bird
X on the column
Seagull
Blue slippers
Wooden Duck
are amongst the ones annoying me.
The crow - add an 'e'
Sale label - what's another word for the cost of something?
Glass of milk - part of the horseshoe and bridle clue.
Wasps - what do wasps do?
Robin with a bluebeard - No idea.
Harpo on the blackboard looks like it should be one - It is, but it's backwards.
Robin with a bluebeard - suranem is when it's very very dark and pretty windy
Blue Slippers - Or would you actually wear them outdoors, but maybe not when it rains!
Currently at 53 and starting to struggle but good fun!
Currently at 56
Link to bigger standalone picture if it helps
Don’t overthink the handbag, say what you see 😉
And if in doubt just guess random famous people and you'll get a couple, that's how I got at least two!
79... and no idea of what clue we're missing.
Got to 70 and now stumped. Obvious clues I cannot decipher include
1. Black Jack (spades)
2. The blue Cocktail (but could be red herring)
3. Candle in bowl (also dubious)
4. Ear-heart
5. Fire detector/sprinkler?
6. Blue breasted bird
7. Red lightening bolt
8. USA sign
Other possibles ... cat by the fire, wooden duck at back, various beer mats/signs, and some strange white marks on the ceiling???
Need help with
Candle in the Bowl
USA
Blue Crested bird
Goose on the floor - thought Top Gun - but its not
Four bight bulbs on the wall
wooden duck
things on the ceiling
Man/shark drawing - tried all Jaws variants
Seagull / herring gull
Not sure candle in the bowl is one. It's from the real photo rather than added, reflections are too good.
1. Black Jack (spades)
Flip it.
The red spotted bluetail (small bird) is a poor clue.
For ornithological accuracy is should be all brown and perhaps singing very nicely.
Aaargh - stuck on 76.
The french horn? and the milk/bridle??
then I'm totally missing two!
2. the blue cocktail - nope its not a herring
4. ear-heart - not a train, not an automobile.
Goose on floor is a very young one
Seagull might help if you say it quickly on a boat under attack
Can't get USA
Is fox M on bar tap one?
Can’t get USA

What style of writing is USA?

6. Blue breasted bird
7. Red lightening bolt
8. USA sign
1. flip it
2. the colour is irrelevant
3. don't think it's a clue
4. that's the surname
5. not sure that's a clue?
6. the colour is irrelevant - think of another songbird
7. it's makeup
8. which film is this?
Is fox M on bar tap one?
yep.
Thanks beej have got USA now with your help
1) try switching round your own description.
4) Exactly. Put it together...
6) think of various types of bird. Another clue above helped me.
7) looks like Ziggy to me.
8) USA or a great American sign?
Edit- I should have refreshed the page before posting...
69
stuck on:
french horn
house wine (looks like a photoshop so assume it's a clue)
two hats is killing me - I definitely "know" it
something sitting by the fire ? (but nothign I've tried works)
shark blackboard
milk/bridle/...
I reckon 16oz is proabbly a clue but can't think of any more related people after 2 guesses
the dog (I assume it's the breed but I've run out of guesses)
apple
USA
1 other I can't even see as clue
Annoyances:
The small bird one is stoopid - or else I am. Can't see a justification for that "beard" at all. It's like they couldn't find a proper image
(glass panel top left - Aaaaargh, it's the creator, a bit like the broom clue)
Is fox M on bar tap one?
yep
Ah, OK - at least I (think I) know what I don't know
Am I being stupid with the A Guinness one? I've tried various spelling options of the obvious answer but not got it right yet?
Am I being stupid with the A Guinness one
I THINK it's another one they've spelled wrong
It is, but it's nothing to do with the drink
Man/shark drawing – tried all Jaws variants
No you haven't 😉
No you haven’t
well, I have 😫 - actors, author, characters
house wine (looks like a photoshop so assume it’s a clue)
Are you a little backwards ?
Are you a little backwards ?
FFS - apparently so !
