Ha, shows what you know; it's something COMPLETELY different.
It's a moth.

Answer to "What is it? 302"
Well, what a dilemma. Do we award the chocs to HLS or Alan??
Wheel on a music box?

Perhaps "cylinder" or "spindle" might better suit.

It's a gift from Nick, modelled by the lovely UniM of course:

Answer to "What is it? 300"
Gosh, what a wide variety of guesses this week.
Alan gets it yet again. It is...
my icicle.
All 22 inches of it!
All icicles have streams of air bubbles running through the middle of them. I wonder why.

Answer to "What is it? 298"
Alan again!
(A DOG Tom?? You're scaring me...)
"Well done to Alan. It was indeed a now rather clean carrion Crow."

Answer to "What is it? 297"
Alan gets it again. And extra kudos for using the squiggly thing
Piñata.

This was in Asda, and UniM was very excited to see that an essential part of her childhood had made it across the Atlantic . More on the history and uses here: Piñata

Answer to "What is it? 296
Alan gets it!
I assume you twank it to make sweet music?
Posted by: Alan | February 26, 2013 at 12:21 PM
I did have my doubts about the word Twank, but there it is in the dictionary
1. To cause to make a sharp twanging sound; to twang, or twangle.[Websters]
2. Seldom used base verb from the following inflections: twanking, twanked, twanks, twanker, twankers, twankingly and twankedly
Not music, but talking. How can a few lines produce (just) recognisable speech?? The follow up Wii will be to identify what's being said. I need to find a way to record it first, as you can only hear it in your head as you twank.

Answer to "What is it? 295"
What is it? It's...
...a vintage (1920s/30s?)
Hoover.
UniM put her foot down and refused to let me buy it. Fair enough, but the comment she made at the time ("It's not like you'd ever get round to using it.") was unnecessarily barbed, I feel.

Answer to "What is it? 294"
Well done to Alan!
Is it the one that came with Brian May's book?

I missed out on a vintage Victorian stereo viewer and box of slides at the auction at the weekend,then remembered I already had this one. It works really well, now I just need some slides.
This is fighting talk where I come from Alan. Let's see a photo.
It is ... not as good as mine.

Mine's wooden.

Surely not another butterfly??
