I am going to take you on a journey. We start at a table, and travel by a blue box. The journey is very poor, but it will take us to an island. There we find nothing feral, only a musical beat.
If you enjoyed this journey, what do you need to keep it going?

Put the record changer arm in "replay" position???
(I've been thinking about this all week. I don't think this is the correct answer, but since no one else is venturing a guess...) |

My guess goes with the repeat button on the CD player, yet I can't place the song.
What's worse is I suspect it's a Beatles reference.

Start at a table. A turn-table?
Travel by blue box. I don't know about this. Are cartridges commonly housed in blue boxes? Journey is very poor. Again, this doesn't fit my "answer." To an island. Would that be the center of the LP? The label area is an island in a sea of black. There we find nothing feral, only a musical beat. Could this be the "thunk....thunk....thunk" beat that you hear when the needle reaches the end of the LP? It's certainly not very wild; it's the same (tame?) old "thunk...thunk...thunk." I think I'm wrong, but can't come up with a better answer. "Musical" + "table" got me stuck thinking about record players. And I've been stuck in this rut for over a week now. It seems Stephen is away from his computer. Can anyone solve this riddle and put me out of my misery? Stan Alger |

Well, my first record player was housed in a plastic box and it folded up with a handle so you could carry it--and it was blue!

Taking that lead brianmayo, we may as well go to "the cow says moo" toy that is blue and has a dial in the center (island) and you pull the string to go again.

Hi! Sorry - been without internet connection at home for over a week now, and work has this forum as a banned site. Ho hum
No musical references (apart from the small part of the clue that relates to music). Think of this as several small clues all joined into one. We start at a TABLE and travel by A BLUE BOX. The journey is VERY POOR, but it will take us to AN ISLAND. There we find NOTHING FERAL, only a MUSICAL BEAT As those outside the UK might have problems with the blue box reference, feel free to do an internet search on Jon Pertwee or Tom Baker

I'll give you a clue for the staring point - this is a table you might see in a place of worship.

I think I'm starting to understand...
But I'm not sure, so let me going "fishing." I'll be brief and to the point: Would an aquatic animal keep the journey going? |

Stephen Buxton Veteran user 311 Posts |
By all means, providing that you don't mind me being brief and to the point...
No

OK.
I think this involves a pattern that starts with 5,6,6,5. Is the next a 4? Followed by a 5? Is there a difference in the British/American spellings for the sixth? Stan |
|||||||||
Stephen Buxton Veteran user 311 Posts |
It looks like you have the right idea, and likely even the right answers. For the 6th, the spelling is the same (due to the meaning). Had it been metric, then the spelling would have been critical - and to me, foreign)

I was scared you were going there with the blue box.
Pertwee had "Bessy" and Baker had "K-9" (I and II) I don't recall any poor journeys though, including the latest which ended with quite a bang. Still looking for clues J

Not Bessie or K9 - neither were blue. You do have the right character they portrayed, though. There was a blue box that was prevalent in pretty much every adventure...
I should clarify that "Journey" is more a description (in the loosest possible sense) of the solution, rather than a clue word leading to part of the solution.
