No, I've got no idea at all what I'm supposed to be answering.

Oh, right, I thought you meant Scurra had set another one. :lol:

Shark bark? Whale wail? :?

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.)

I must say, I think I might be a little terrified by a barking shark. :lol:

Jeez, I knew I should have written down my intended answer, and now have no idea. So that will do just fine. :lol:

Sorry, head all over the place. Have just (yesterday) had a knee op under general anaesthetic, feeling pretty rubbish, and D has just tested positive for covid. So looking forward to that on top of everything else. :(

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

Something to do with Macadamias and Academics being tortured and twisted is all my brain is coming up with.
Is it significant that NUT is all caps?
