A Picture Teaser …

Well, Well, Well, How’s about This, then?!


Now here’s a teaser for you; today’s teaser’s  been inspired by the simple fact that today is the day — in 1910 — that George the 5th was named the King of Great Britain, on the death of his father, Edward the 7th.


So, with that in mind, I’ve put this lot together.


They’re various nations Coats of Arms; or emblem, heraldic symbols, what have you.


I’m challenging you to name them.


From top to bottom.


In order.


I’m feeling nasty …

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.
