Re: Rhyme game

Oh dear. I hope we don't contract it digitally through the forum. We're staying with mum and dad this week, he's just out of hospital again, neither of them are in a good way.

So moving on, we'll try

Re: Rhyme game

Shark bark is quite nice, but it's truly whale wail. (As Scurra also realised, with dropping in a sneaky reference to whaling and gnashing of teeth.)

Re: Well known phrases and sayings

Having got the answer, Scurra's keeping it to himself/only vaguely hinting, so as not to be the one to set a new clue. So I told him to go ahead anyway. (He is doing something similar in the rhyme game now too, in the italicised comment.) https://forum.puzzlebrains.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=106895&sid=a...

Re: Rhyme game

Yes, I was just looking for a rhyme without realising it was a puzzle too. This one had a nice Aha. :D

Re: Rhyme game

Well, I'm trusting that it (for every boat) is a clue to Per U. In other words, it's a Peru Clue.

Re: Rhyme game

Ahhhhhhhhh, the &lit indicator in clue 1 should have made this more obvious. But I overlooked it anyway. I usually really like self-referential clues. Including this one. :)

Oh, well. Yes of course it is.
But I've always resented when I'm told to do myself what I've advised others I reckon they should do.

Re: Well known phrases and sayings

I'm pretty sure I will know it after I've been nudged into remembering. The trouble is, there are too many silly alternatives that come to mind first, like Pirates Walking Yellowbeard's Plank.

Re: Well known phrases and sayings

This is harder than the Rhyme game one. The only thoughts I can make merelyget as far as
P... While/When/With You/Your P...

Or silly things like Please Water Your Plants

Re: Sports Day

Walk backwards at least 4 metres/10 steps without having to explain why. (Eg leading someone by the hands out into the dance area, or whatever reason makes sense)
