A Play On Words

[Bonesy]

Struggled with those Tommy.
Well done though for trying to keep interest going in the forum.

Cheers Keith !

I am pleased you struggled……….

The whole point is to get you using your brain box before it gives up for lack of stimulation.

We all know there were ‘’ three ‘’ blind mice but nobody asks how all three managed to run after the farmer’s wife if they couldn’t see her ??

Phil used to beat me solid on Hangman but struggles on this ………..but accounted for himself very well on this latest challenge.

This is Bernie’s forte but he struggled too so you are not alone.

Loretta always chips in with some banter to let us know she is still active and interested.

I miss Bee !
She and I crossed swords a number of times in the last few years but there is no doubting her intellect and value to this forum.
I hope she is well and will rejoin us in the last year before Mack closes the forum down for good.
He deserves a full compliment of loyal posters in this final year.

I make no apologies for the ramble but thought it a good opportunity to say I will carry on to the end and hope all ‘’ ‘’ The Usual Suspects ‘’ are up and blagging at the end .

Thanks for that latest set of teasers, Tom, and 'hear hear' to your comments above re the Forum's swansong year.

Tommy.
I should've guessed more, at least then you know when people are trying.
I googled different types of waves, thinking sea waves, not realising there were so many
Never thought of other types of waves.

That's really honest and touching what you've said about bee and Loretta. Nice one pal.
