buena pista Annie, pero todavía ni idea - Yeser007, Jul 9, 2010

Hola yesero :o - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

These games are fun, I hope some more people vote for you. I don't know why people are stingy with the free votes. They don't cost a dime. - jeezzle, Jul 9, 2010

Gracias por tú complido jeezzle :o .. (I get a kick out of posting..and the banter :o ) - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

And the practice is good - when someone suggests something only in "English" I will look up the word and "try" and reply in Spanish :o - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

Estoy dispuesto para lo próximo. - jeezzle, Jul 9, 2010

I live in chicago, and when I figure out how to, I'll send you all the rain snow and cold you can want, also have an over abundance of mosquitos if you need some. - albert-fabrik-, Jul 9, 2010

Albert - what a lovely thought - we'll take the rain...might give the mozzies a miss :o - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

Answer 1

Por fin he pensado en algo, ¿es un barril para la lluvia?

I don't get it. What do you do with the rain once you have it? Drink it? - jeezzle, Jul 9, 2010

Margaret - ¡Bien hecho!. Mi OM es "el agua e lluvia tanque" (I hope that's right - it's a rainwater tank. Explicaré muy pronto :o - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

¡yupi! ¡yupi! que estupendo, gracias Annie, (como si acabo de ganar la loteria, jeje) - margaretbl, Jul 9, 2010

Well done Margaret - have a look at the last post - I've added some extra "info":o - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

And for jeezzle - yes we can drink it, use it on the garden or to wash the car - don't forget we are one of the driest countries on earth :( - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

You just beat me by a whisker Margaret, well done you little tinker! - ray76, Jul 9, 2010

Answer 2

Quizás,lo usan en Australia para regar las flores en el jardín o para filtrar agua sucia o limpia por causa de los hoyos en el tubo central de metal

= (My guess) Perhaps they use it to water the flowers in the garden or to filter dirty or clean water because of the holes in the central metal tube ???

I have no idea if I am close or not as I have never previously lived in Australia or seen anthing like it before. I could be 'way off beam' with my guess lol

Hola Feliz - gran adivina - vas por el buen camino. Mi OM tiene algo qu ver con "agua" pero necesito más información :o - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

agua sucia o limpia..de los hoyos - 00494d19, Jul 10, 2010

Gracias Heidita - FELIZ77, Jul 10, 2010

Answer 3

Bien hecho Margaret...

My mystery object is a rainwater tank. This one holds approximately 30,000 litres of water.

We are such a dry country and almost always in "drought". Where I live, if you build a new home, it is compulsory to have one of these tanks installed on your property - and also compulsory to have fittings that the local fire services can utilise..just in case...

-----------------

Wow, huge, I hope it is brimming over for you this year. - margaretbl, Jul 9, 2010

Thanks Margaret - this one is not actually in my garden - my garden is way too small :( This one is at one of the local clubs :o - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

un tanque de agua de lluvia:) - 00494d19, Jul 10, 2010

Answer 4

Escusado quimico para algun tipo de extraterrestre. Chemical toilet for some kind of alien. Looks like I'm finally gonna win another one of these!

Hola jeezzle - Mm.."extraterrestre" - pues tenemos muchos "extraños" en las montañas azules...pero tristemente mi OM es usado de las gentes común. (great answer though) - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

por la gente - 00494d19, Jul 10, 2010

Answer 5

Is it the bottom of a flower pot; the hole the water drains through?

Buen intento Delores - pero no, su respuesta no es correcto :( - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

Answer 6

The winding mechanism for the hose , you pull it out then wind it back.

Hola Ray - Mi OM no tiene nada que ver con los mangueras - pero buen intento :o - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

Answer 7

A Canon to shoot the Possums when they are eating your mangoes .

Oh possum - I do have possums - don't have mangoes - too bloody cold - and I certainly don't have a canon - although I do have little yapping dogs next door - so a canon would sometimes be handy... - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

Hey Annie, watch it!!! I have a little yappy dog:) - Yeser007, Jul 9, 2010

Do you? But does it yap all night and keep neighbours awake? I have four next door to me :( - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

Amazing i have the same Flamin dog I am playing Loud Opera music to drown the mongrel out but maybe ishould drown it, barking dogs are my Bette noir. - ray76, Jul 9, 2010

Well no, I do keep her in check because I hate yapping also:) - Yeser007, Jul 9, 2010

I do not mind a big loud Woof Woof , but not the emotionaly compromised little Yapperssss!!! - ray76, Jul 9, 2010

Answer 8

A water tank to catch the run off from your roof.

Oh no, lo siento Ray, estabas pensando al mismo momento! - margaretbl, Jul 9, 2010

Ray - pipped at the post :( - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

Answer 9

¡Pista numero 1!

Answer 10

Septic Tank, or a dry composting dunny.

Answer 11

It looks like a platter for serving bugs. The hole in the middle is actually an escape hatch for the ones playing possum to escape so your guests are not nauseated by the thoughts of being served live bugs. (Hola Annie, I guess I'm going to have to get in touch with my girly side to answer this one )

opps I forgot to mention that it looks like somebody missed one, do you think you could save it for me ? - albert-fabrik-, Jul 9, 2010

Hola Albert - muy creativo - merece un voto :o (And by the way - you do not need a girly side for this answer :o ) - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

Answer 12

I said that I'd have to get in touch with my girly side to solve this one, I should have stuck with my intuition, The only people that I know that collect rain water are women that say its the best thing you can use to wash your hair, or those that have not paid their water bill.

Albert - not here Albert - many people here collect and store "rainwater" - in some places it's compulsory :o - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010

extra flag :( - Silvia, Jul 10, 2010

lol, great answer albert, jejej, rainwater IS the best for hair! lol - 00494d19, Jul 10, 2010

Hhahahhaa rainwater for hair? I have never heard that one before - FELIZ77, Jul 10, 2010

Answer 13

Is it a compost container ?

Mi OM no tiene nada que ver con abono orgánico (o gusanos).... - nonombre, Jul 9, 2010
