2:35 am

worzel

the pa6 30

2:37 am

worzel

nm found it

2:45 am

worzel

ok I've hit a wall - can i get a clue for the (ridiculously small) pe5/14?

2:45 am

worzel

2:45 am

worzel

d'oh found it!!!!

3:24 am

worzel

this is stupid but can somebody please clue me the first ga4/6?

3:26 am

worzel

oh stupid sod I've already got it, just didn't copy it to Lickety

3:30 am

worzel

ok last one - can somebody clue me the second wh7/52 please?

3:35 am

mattygroves

It sounds sort of like crying (if it's the second one I have)

3:38 am

worzel

that's the 7/56 matty, i need the second 7/52

3:39 am

mattygroves

Aaah. Sorry. The only 7/52 I have is likely the same one you do. They go round and round (on the bus)

3:40 am

mattygroves

On the other hand, related to the one I clued, it sounds like...well, you, me and everyone - shiny happy...

3:41 am

worzel

yea i got that one. It's my last two words as well, and i'm assuming, as it's a 7 and 8 combo that it ends with e then ed for the 8

3:41 am

mattygroves

Oh, darn. Sorry! I've not opened the list

3:42 am

mattygroves

You can past tense that one for the 8. But I now have all the 8s, and the only wh8 is that one. I have three wh7s, and one wh8

3:44 am

mattygroves

OK, I have opened the list and I have all the wh7s, so I'm not sure what you're missing

3:50 am

Atbeat

Epee

3:51 am

Atbeat

Oops!

3:51 am

worzel

wh7/52 the second one, and wh8/75

3:53 am

mattygroves

That's the combo that sounds like shiny happy men and women - or we the pe....but with a wh (and spelled differently)

3:53 am

mattygroves

Or it rhymes with 'this is the church, this is the st.... open the doors and all the pe.....'

3:53 am

worzel

ah, so sorry matty i didn't read your previous clue correctly. Thank you and FWs

3:54 am

mattygroves

Yay!
