Failed on everything except the 60s what a classic got it instantly, it did help I had it on vinyl....

Following yesterday's best ever result I was quite positive as I set about the dles today. A bullseye on the worldle was followed by a 2 on the wordle and 3,3 on the nerdles! Brilliant I thought bring on the heardles!!

Train crash!!!

Apart from recognising but not naming the 70s it was a complete wipeout!! Back to dunce's corner for me!

[myglaren]

Original: Vague recognition but unable to name it. Disappointed.

Sixties: Two Seconds

Seventies: As with the Original.

Eighties: Not a clue

Nineties: Not a hope. I have this in my Amazon library as I bought it for my granddaughter a couple of years ago. Had a go but it is dreadful.

00s: Another fail, completely unknown and likely to stay that way.

5 out of 6 missed out on the ungetable 00's, the rest fitted in with my intro knowledge in 1,2,3,5,5 in the usual order. Should have really got the 80's 1 stage earlier than I did. Knew the artist but chose the wrong track too quickly.

So, without looking it up - what's the bit of a sundial that sticks up and casts the shadow called ?

So I decided to do some measurements today a) to identify true South and b) to confirm the pitch of the roof.
I set up a very simple device to determine true south:

[mickthemaverick]

I've always known it as the staff but I was surprised to see the real name is a word I had come across in CAD systems at the Drawing Office in my BT days but never associated with sundials!!

More normal day for me today:

Original. No idea
60s. 5 secs recognised instantly but needed the extra bit to bring the artist to mind
70s. 2 secs. A real classic
80s. 2 secs. Unforgettably grim!
90s. No idea
00s. No idea

[myglaren]

Original: Clueless
Sixties: Clueless II
Seventies: Five seconds. Surprised as I don't like it.
Eighties: Clueless III
Nineties: Clueless IV
00s: Got the singer as soon as she began, but not the song.

[NewcastleFalcon]

.
Original: Fail knew the tune would never have got the artists or title
Sixties: 8 seconds, had to sing it through for the title
Seventies: 2 seconds Mick's pal
Eighties: 2 seconds ditto above
Nineties: 2 seconds...I like the track and the vid, and feel like it has been on before
00s: 2 Seconds, I thought Steve might score on that one, know the band name and the guess bar gives you the options.

5 out of 6 and four 2 sec minimums

[myglaren]

Original: Failed again

Sixties: And again

Seventies: And again

Eighties: And again

Nineties: And again

00s: And again

didn't know any other than slight recognition of the original.

[NewcastleFalcon]

Original: Fail. They only did one recognisable song!
Sixties: Fail. Knew the tune couldn't even guess at the artist when Russ Conway or Mrs Mills were not an option. The Roker Park crowd put the words "We are the S A, the S A F C" as a chant to part of the song.
Seventies: 8 seconds from the group getting more coverage than any other on the BBC recently.
Eighties: 2 seconds easily recognisable for anyone familiar with their work
Nineties: 2 seconds couldn't name any other offering of theirs but got it in 2 Secs
00s: Fail. No Chance

3 out of 6

I thought I had posted my result at 6 this morning but it's not here so maybe I missed the submit!!

Anyway not a great day at all:
60s recognised it after 5 secs but could not name it at all
70s. 5 secs

The rest were a complete wipeout so back to the tapping board!

Not the foggiest.
The girls may look good but the expression on the face of the bloke at 2' 30" sums up my view of dancing.

Had a friend who collected covers of "Green Onions". Last seen residing in Changi jail.
