Nope, it's not a lewd one...
You may be surprised at that...

Me too (but I had to cheat)

Re: Downton Abbey, spot the cock up
I've never watched the show, so I'm only generally aware of what it's about; basically a soap opera set in the 1920s...
Given who started the thread, naturally I assumed there was something obscene involved,
, so first I looked for phallic symbols...
However, upon learning that wasn't it, the next thing I did was start looking for something that didn't belong in the 1920's (a modern watch, a cell phone peaking out from a pocket, etc.)
Took me a little while but I finally spotted it...

Re: Downton Abbey, spot the cock up
How is that even possible, it is excellent TV, and far more than a soap opera. And it's not set in the 20s, or at least it doesn't start out that way. The opening scenes are from April 15, 1912 and it goes through WW1 and its impacts on the fabric of the class structure in England. Season 5 starts in 1924. The show has dramatic upheaval, for sure, but it really about socio-economic and political change. With some sex and scandal thrown in for good measure.Lord Jim wrote:I've never watched the show, so I'm only generally aware of what it's about; basically a soap opera set in the 1920s...
I'm stunned you're not watching it. It's so damn good.

If only we still lived in a world before the cock-up existed . . .
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Re: Downton Abbey, spot the cock up
I have never seen that show. It appears though that the male in the picture is a tall drink of water.
Re: Downton Abbey, spot the cock up
They had Water in the 1920s and they had plastic, well some what.
I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.

Re: Downton Abbey, spot the cock up
Well, they had water and they definitely had clear glass bottles, which are hard to distinguish from plastic ones, in a photograph.
(But then again, they didn't have color photography...maybe that's the real cock-up?

Re: Downton Abbey, spot the cock up
They had clear plastic in the 1920; it was not petroleum based and its applications were limited. Plastic go back to the late 1860's. One of its fist uses was in the manufacture of billiard balls as a cheap substitute for ivory. It didn't catch on, they tended to be brittle and sometimes even explode.Econoline wrote:Well, they had water and they definitely had clear glass bottles, which are hard to distinguish from plastic ones, in a photograph.

That wasn't clear.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

It's good that someone has finally addressed the elephant in the room.
Re: Downton Abbey, spot the cock up
Ahem...they didn't have color photography...

Photograph by James Clerk Maxwell
Best known for his development of electromagnetic theory, Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell dabbled in color theory throughout his life, eventually producing the first color photograph in 1861. Maxwell created the image of the tartan ribbon shown here by photographing it three times through red, blue, and yellow filters, then recombining the images into one color composite.
