There is a logical reason behind that extra 's', I just copied it down wrongly, it shouldn't be there. I can only think that because 'upsets' flows better than 'upset' my mind did not see it.

Whilst I strum, ice julep is what I drink.

Is there an umpire or umpires? :?:

Anybody wearing a jump-suit or jumper-suit, or simply a jumper or jumpers? :?:

Hi underquark,
What's this photo about ? or is it the next riddle?

I still can't solve this No 15 "World Cup" riddle.

Looks like the winner is Underquark, well done.

Cec the answer is staring you in the face. Say cheese.

I still can't recognize the faces or the cup or understand underquark"s "anagrammy". I'm assuming it's not "The World Cup". Help desparately needed to avoid throwing computer monitor through window.

cec,

using the letters of the anagram, (stated by underquark and udosuk) try to find three words, that is the name of a cup that was won in The World Cup football competition a (long) while ago.

A rose by any other name will smell just as sweet.

Clue: First word sounds like the plural of the SI term for unit of work or energy.

Right click on the photo. Copy down the file name. Add 3 letters (what are you suppose to pour tea/coffee into?) after the bit before ".jpg"... :idea:

I'm trying to solve one riddle - now I've got another four - I've just tied monitor to computer table before I tackle these riddles.

The problem is I don't follow soccer so I wouldn't know who won a long while ago even looking at the various words you suggest - Thanks anyway.

It will when I know the name

- still can't get it!

Don't know what "SI term" means but I think the unit of work or energy is "erg" so the plural would be "ergs" - still can't get it !

Well.. I'd pour tea/coffee into a "cup" rather than saying "a mug" which is how I'm feeling.

Is it "The Metropolitan Cup"? or the "Brazil Cup"?

Oh Cec, if you haven't been following soccer it's a good time to start now... Our boys are for real this time! Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi Oi Oi! :!:

Anyway I'm guessing you already knew the answer a long while ago and is just mucking around with us... ("The Aussie Spirit"

) If that's not right then I apologize... BTW I said the file name, not the whole URL address... But you'll be fully pardoned if computing is not your major subject...

Quite seriously. I haven't been egging you on and embarassed not to be able to follow these hints. . I still can't get to a page of results but I'm assuming the following link is what you are referring to:
2006 World cup results etc.
When I click on that link I still can't see a "page of results to click on the third one down". It's 1.30am now so well past my bedtime.

I'll try your hints and udosuk's further hints tomorrow and duly reply.
