3) Right track, wrong finger ;)
1) OK everyone it has NOTHING to do with the Sydney Harbour Bridge ... but ...

CLUE: 1) It is a landmark often mentioned in traffic reports

CLUE: 4) the first word (a colour) has 6 letters, and doesn't include A nor O nor U

ASKER

sirspic> :)

haha i take ASL courses =D
here are some words that a circular motion is used (with no pinky)

Sign, Excited, us, pity, aunt, hourly, people

my best guess is saying "us" the single finger (pointer) encircles to signify more than 3 people

1. you're on the moon jumping from the tallest building (spaceship)...bah i need sleep

ASKER

sirspic> What got you interested in ASL? But sadly I never said it was AMERICAN sign language ;) haha, and it's not the pointer, it's the naughty finger!

1) ooooo yuck! yse, it's a strange mechano-like construction to hold traffic lights at an intersection in Sydney's west, Landsvale OK.

Member_2_231077

And bloke giving you the finger is probably the ref indicating that the scrum has wheeled more than 90 degrees in your rugger match.

>Red Ryder????

The Red Ryder newspaper comic strip by Fred Harman ran from 1938-1964 and was the basis for a popular series of silver screen adventures. Republic Pictures had entered into an agreement with Stephen Slesinger (who owned the rights to the comic strip), and the initial film from this collaboration was the ADVENTURES OF RED RYDER (Republic, 1940) chapterplay. Included in the agreement were several options and price escalators for continued use of the Red Ryder character, and Republic did exercise several of these options for their later RR series westerns with Bill Elliott and Allan Lane.
