    Any clues for no. 5 tricky D. That's a strange looking antenna.

    This has gone a bit strange. Those answers are from where the pic were taken rather than of what the picture is. Otherwise 1 would be Exchequer Street and 3 is Symphony House on Adelaide Road.

    was No 1 in the Boss of Me pics guessed correctly?

    If it's still going is it the Chester Beatty Gallery grounds?

    He said it was "a very good guess" but didn't seem to actually confirm if it was correctly identified.

    It sure is, they're most often found in d4, this is in d6. These antennae might be banned in Ireland.

    Nope. It is a Signals antenna, just not Irish.

    Then it must be an Embassy the only ones I can think of in D6 are India and Nigeria, possibly Sweden but they would be higher tech I think.

    OK folks, these 11 pictures should seperate the men from the boys. :)

    There is a connection among all pictures. Some are deliberately easy and some of you will make the connection immediately.

    It's a bit like a crossword puzzle - the more you identify, the easier it is to solve the remaining ones. It may be in your interest not to reveal the easier ones until you've worked out the others. Street names MUST be specific and in full as there is an obvious reason.

    Good luck! :D

    (Re: no. 11. This may be contentiuous. I've spent quite a bit of time trying to correctly identify it as it appears to differ between maps/street guides and hasn't had a nameplate on it for many years. I think I have it right but I'm willing to withdraw it if necessary).
