I go past this every morning. What the fook is it?

[palinurus]

You mean one of these?

Well,

The local paper had this in it. It's a bit small, I scanned it at work. My scanner is still boxed up as I'm waiting until I've got the place fixed up before I unpack everything. I can sort of read it, it hurts a bit though.

"it's simply a machine for taking aerial photos of the studio"

Bollocks. Why would you need a huge pineapple-shaped lampshade with blue spines sticking out of it to take aerial photographs? I'm not an expert but I suspect what you need is a camera, attached to an aeroplane.

So I'm still none the wiser.

I was flicking through a book about Leavesden Aerodrome in Waterstones at the weekend and I reckon the armoured vehicle was used in Goldeneye. What I need now is a portable scanner because I don't want to buy the book just to post the evidence here.

No further information regarding large pineapple

 

[palinurus]

I'm so dumb: I'd likely pay £70 for a portable scanner to save £13 on the book.

Is it what giant golfers put onto one of these when they tee off?

Ah, like one of these?

" A machine for taking aerial photos". I'm still confused. Why not just use a helicopter?

And that giant woodlouse is disgusting!!! Although I believe it's actually a sea creature of some sort.

Its a virus. A very big one.

It would certainly do a lot of damage to your body!

 

[Headgardener]

It is a giant plastic sea urchin by the look of it but what it was used for I don't know.

 

[bicyclos]

Dont be fooled, its a part of saddam hussein's weapons of mass destruction ?

 

[TheDoctor]

Is it a sex toy of some sort?
Some one needs an awful lot of AAs, unless it runs on 3-phase. Or diesel.

BrumJim called it first.

Covid premonition?

No idea about the Russian metal thingy, but the globe looks to me like an amusement ride accoutrement, and I’m sure I’ve seen one similar, but not sure where. Definitely a good few years, maybe 2 decades ago….

I think some one nailed it earlier, Soviet era 8 wheel BTR, armoured personnel carrier, as for the other thing it’s COVID-11, but it never took off as it made the victims eyes water as it infected them!
