Answer 1

The support or base (can be filled with ballast, some use water, some sand) to support portable fencing. Seen around construction sites, events ...

Not what you would use to contain the extremely agile and clever Australian Sheperds, especially when there is any herding to be done or soccer game to attend.

And an aside for the fire hydrant discussion:

What do the Colors Mean? It's hard to know for sure. Firefighters in different places use colors differently. Sometimes the colors might not mean anything.But when firefighters come to a fire, they need to know something fast: how much water will come out of this hydrant? Not all hydrants give the same amount of water. For instance, a hydrant might be old, with a smaller pipe which can't deliver as much water as newer hydrants. So, firefighters often paint the top cap of a hydrant with a color that tells them the water flow. They want to know right away how many gallons of water will come out of this hydrant per minute.

Well done Lateto..the first with the answer I was after. I was after the "foot" of a temporary fence:o Explicaré muy pronto :o And by the way - great downloads in your post :o - nonombre, Jul 11, 2010

Sorry I was 'late'. Pista 1 got me close and then you gave it away to Krama ...so thank you Krama, also. - LateToDinner, Jul 11, 2010

Another never-saw-one-in-my-life thing. Annie, thanks for the education. :) - Rikko, Jul 11, 2010

Hola Rikko - here "They're everywhere! They're everywhere!". - nonombre, Jul 11, 2010

Really? I should visit Australia sometime. jejeje - Rikko, Jul 11, 2010

Or Los Angeles, on your tour of "the Ring" - LateToDinner, Jul 11, 2010

Been there, but didn't notice them. "They're everywhere! They're everywhere!" there too? - Rikko, Jul 11, 2010

Roger, over. - LateToDinner, Jul 11, 2010

Answer 2

Is it a crowd control barrier (temporary fence ) or a portable sheep pen ?

So close Albert - I was after the "foot" used in temporary fencing :o - nonombre, Jul 11, 2010

Answer 3

¡Pista numero 1!

Based on your threads, Australia must be like another planet. ;) - jeezzle, Jul 11, 2010

I'm sure the first "white" people that got here must have thought so - what with our strange animals and vegetation:o - nonombre, Jul 11, 2010

Answer 4

May it be a parasol base?

Krama - si mi OM es un tipo de base pero no para una paraguas. - nonombre, Jul 11, 2010

jeje, por lo menos, tengo una parte correcta. - Krama, Jul 11, 2010

Answer 5

Good Lord!!! Don't tell me that's the soap dish in your shower!!!!! Let's see, in Spanish I'd guess it would be "el lugar para la pastilla de jabón en la ducha". But I sure hope I'm wrong.....

Echoline - buen intento - pero encontraría mi OM afuera :o - nonombre, Jul 10, 2010

I join you in you wish! :-) - Delores--Lindsey, Jul 10, 2010

Echo - just an aside - I had a read of your profile and I'm feeling very ignorant - but what are "Australian Shepherds"? - nonombre, Jul 10, 2010

Don't feel bad Annie, they are probably not called Australian in Australia ... one of the first things I looked for in Germany was German Chocolate Cake! Es gibt nicht! And what we call a German Shepherd they simply call Schäferhund. - LateToDinner, Jul 11, 2010

Australian Shepherds are herding dogs - nizhoni1, Jul 11, 2010

And soccer dogs, Niz! - LateToDinner, Jul 11, 2010

Answer 6

Lo tengo. Caja de burro llena con cigarillos. It's a donkeybox full of cigarettes.

This is the best answer. You see the yellow. - jeezzle, Jul 11, 2010

Well I found this image hilarious, Maybe i'm just warped. - jeezzle, Jul 11, 2010

jeezzle - looking in from my planet - your image didn't upload :( - nonombre, Jul 11, 2010

What? It's donkey with a cigarette case and it offloads cigarettes in a most inappropriate way, the image works fine from here, I wonder where the breakage lies. Can anyone else see it? - jeezzle, Jul 11, 2010

No, I can't see your pic either. - Krama, Jul 11, 2010

Not here (and this is not a guess) - LateToDinner, Jul 11, 2010

Answer 7

Es un "tardis"!!!! It's a tardis!!!! From Doctor Who.

Sadly jeezzle my MO doesn't live up to a Tardis' reputatation. However...funnily enough, in certain circumstances, my MO would be filled with ballast. :o - nonombre, Jul 11, 2010

Answer 8

Is it one of those barricades (plastic base with ballast inside + wire fencing on top) to keep people or traffic away from construction sites?

Hmm, this is going to tax my español... un valla alrededor de una obra (o en torno a la obra)? Corrections appreciated!

Gracias Annie, fun idea; I always see these after the fact, after somebody's already gotten the answer! - schemmn, Jul 11, 2010

Speak up Schemm, I keep telling her she needs to post the clues slower! Tell her to let it go a day, like she did this one. I think more people would participate. - LateToDinner, Jul 11, 2010

Hola Schemm - yes indeed, my MO was the "foot" for temporary fencing. Explicaré muy pronto :o - nonombre, Jul 11, 2010

Schemm I usually post, oh, maybe three times a week - so keep your eyes "peeled"! - nonombre, Jul 11, 2010

And I should have added Schemm - the prize of "acceptance" goes to "first in line" with the correct answer :o - nonombre, Jul 11, 2010

No worries, Annie! :-) - schemmn, Jul 12, 2010

Answer 9

¿Es un grupo de jaulas animales?. ¿Qué es el tipo de animales estás criando?

Is It a group of animal cages?. What is the type of animals you are raising?

Worms ... she actually has a worm farm! So the size of this fencing must be smaller than it looks or those are really big worms! - LateToDinner, Jul 11, 2010

You should see the size of the dogs to round up the worms. - ray76, Jul 11, 2010

I am afraid of those worms. They remind me of DUne - nizhoni1, Jul 11, 2010

Yeah! Dune and Tremors, (plus sequels)! - LateToDinner, Jul 11, 2010

Answer 10

Could be supported by a provisional fence.

Answer 11

A removable wire fence. free standing . A swim pool fence.

Una cerca de alombra, situatición libre.Desmontable.

Una valle que rodea una piscina.

Close Ray - I as after the "foot" for temporary fencing :o - nonombre, Jul 11, 2010

Answer 12

¿Es un criadero de animales de embarque?

Is it a kennel for boarding animals?

Answer 13

A fire hydrant?

(They are all yellow in the U.S.)

Really? Never seen a yellow one. They are red. - jeezzle, Jul 11, 2010

Hola Marianne - mi OM no tiene nada que ver con una boca de incendios :o - nonombre, Jul 11, 2010

I've seen some that are silver with blue trim too. Never seen a yellow one. - jeezzle, Jul 11, 2010

they are not all yellow! i've seen many red! - Kiol-Corio, Jul 11, 2010

City or district must stipulate color, many white! - LateToDinner, Jul 11, 2010

And for the 4th of July, Red white and blue. Have seen them. - LateToDinner, Jul 11, 2010

Answer 14

¡Pista numero 2!

(ps my MO also comes in orangey/red - and no it's definitely not a fire hydrant!)

Answer 15

some kind of platform?

Hola Kiol - no, mi OM no es una plataforma - pero buen intento :o - nonombre, Jul 11, 2010
