curiously, it was "bareboatsbvi.com" that gave me the tip that it might be marine-related.

Thanks for the double-header, Liane!

SuzyUK, can you host next time? you are the most recent winner

Liane

9:29 pm on Jan 30, 2006 (gmt 0)

Not so fast you guys! You are correct ... almost, but I need the proper name for it until a winner can be announced!

SuzyUK

9:31 pm on Jan 30, 2006 (gmt 0)

Yes thanks muchly Liane..

HWW, no you feel free, I didn't even know they had moved to Monday and I'm out til this time, 9pm here I just happened to catch it tonite, so I might forget :o

brass gimbol or compass mount is not the correct name. Now come on ... what is it really?

Liane

9:34 pm on Jan 30, 2006 (gmt 0)

You got it! Hmm ... if I ever do this again, I am going to have to be really tough. You guys are GOOOD! :)

Well done both of you! I'm off to dinner!

Aw man! (ala Swiper the Fox)

Well SuzyUK you won that one falr-and-square. But if you're unavailable for a Monday Gizmo, I'll voluntarily host one next Monday.

I like having these on Mondays instead of on the weekend... my weekends are spent (mostly) away from computer screens

SuzyUK

9:45 pm on Jan 30, 2006 (gmt 0)

swiper no swipin'! (ala Dora):)

yes you feel free to host, and if you can't manage at last minute just fire a sticky before Monday

yea.. I like them on Mondays better too, I'll try to remember from now on

In this round, both SuzyUK and I won one round (there were two gizmos)
