September 17, 2024Sep 17 Go West was absolutely brilliant, proper cryptic. It took me forever. Originally I had Elton John - Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me and then I thought 'well there's nothing here about Elton, think again' and finally it clicked when I thought about where they were heading. I wouldn't obviously say that is a village in my mind, so that part didn't click initially. Also Foreigner took me a bit. I thought Howard Jones' What Is Love originally, being hopeful that the guy in the centre was supposed to be Howard from the Halifax adverts or something! And then I thought about it again as it made no real sense. HOWARD from the Halifax videos!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: I got the clue from it being a village tbf before I clicked on the song Go West, it was like an African village to me.
September 17, 2024Sep 17 I did think Dell would be a clue but still didn't think of Adele. I never thought of Foreigner, I went for The Meaning Of Love by Depeche Mode as I thought his clothes looked smarter that everyone else.
September 17, 2024Sep 17 Hooray I got #16 correct! I was sure it was Village People but I'm not as well versed with a compass so it was a guess based on the fact they were going somewhere. Rolling in the Deep took me a while, but that is pretty genius x
September 17, 2024Sep 17 I was thinking about Howard from the Halifax ads as well but dismissed the idea.
September 17, 2024Sep 17 Author 19 The Lovin' Spoonful - Summer In The City Another one of my favourite songs from the 60s, this one was the second least correctly guessed. I suspect a few of you will be kicking yourselves at this one! Correct (19/36): awardinary, Roba., danG, Bjork, JulianT, Chez Wombat, Jade, spiceboy, ~1^∞, PeteFromLeeds, Yobnedor, paulgilb, Riser, gooddelta, n4yr, jimwatts, Adele, King Rollo, StoneDragon 20 P!nk - Family Portrait And finally we have another very obvious one and guess what? Everybody got it right :yahoo: Which means a bonus 2 points to PedroNL25 and StoneDragon. Correct (36/36): awardinary, Scene, Roba., chrissmith276, dandy*, Mack., PedroNL25, danG, Ansel, Bjork, JulianT, HarryBorelli, Chez Wombat, isanka, Dobbo, Jordanlee1402, Jade, spiceboy, ~1^∞, Iz, elgornio, vibe, Josh!, PeteFromLeeds, Yobnedor, paulgilb, Riser, gooddelta, n4yr, jimwatts, Adele, rio309, J❄️hq, King Rollo, StoneDragon, LewisGT So, some very good scores overall, but how many players out of the 36 managed to correctly identify all 20 clues? Find out next!
September 17, 2024Sep 17 19 made me laugh too when I finally got it. Family Portrait was my second choice for most guessed, being BuzzJack!! Kicking myself for not putting that now.
September 17, 2024Sep 17 19. Sonny (sunny) & Cher (chair) - I Got U Babe I thought this might be enough for a half point!
September 17, 2024Sep 17 Ah I can't be mad about #19 as know the song now I Googled it but never would have got it!
September 17, 2024Sep 17 Oh I'm not feeling so bad about #19 after all as I don't think that would have ever come to my mind, I can't say that I've ever heard of the Lovin' Spoonful :o Plus I knew my guess was the most dubious of my answers. It is a good song though, I'll give you that!
September 17, 2024Sep 17 19. Sonny (sunny) & Cher (chair) - I Got U Babe I thought this might be enough for a half point! Haha that is quite smart really. I went with The Kinks - Sunny Afternoon. I thought he had a kink about feeding her...
September 17, 2024Sep 17 19. Sonny (sunny) & Cher (chair) - I Got U Babe I thought this might be enough for a half point! That’s fantastic :lol:
September 17, 2024Sep 17 Well 19 stumped me for ages. 'Sugar Sugar' was my initial guess but good thing I changed it and weirdly the "portrait" went past me for 20 at first too but of course a duh and would've kicked myself otherwise!
September 17, 2024Sep 17 I went for Sonny (sunny) and Cher (seemed to be sharing something from the spoon!) also!
September 17, 2024Sep 17 Author 19. Sonny (sunny) & Cher (chair) - I Got U Babe I thought this might be enough for a half point! Maybe that was a bit harsh and if they were sitting on a chair rather than a bench then I probably would have given you something - it was definitely a good guess!
September 17, 2024Sep 17 Author So 4 of you managed to get all 20 correct: well done to Bjork, spiceboy, gooddelta and jimwatts! Quite a few others were very close, only missing one, scoring 38/40. Impressively, 7 of you correctly guessed that 4 people would get all 20 correct, and therefore it's another 2 bonus points to: dandy*, danG, HarryBorelli, approximately one to the power of infinity (also known as ~1^∞ for short), Josh!, jimwatts, LewisGT. A further 8 people went for either 3 or 5 - close but no cigar! But with the addition of the bonus points, will any of those 4 finish top of the leaderboard?
September 17, 2024Sep 17 I do hope one of the people who got all 20 of them does actually finish top, it would be a bit unfair on them if not!
September 17, 2024Sep 17 I was going to go for 4 but changed to 5 as I noticed a lot of people had entered and I sent my own entry quite late.
September 17, 2024Sep 17 Can't say I'm kicking myself about any I missed, don't think I've heard of The Lovin' Spoonful. Coldplay is clever, and I get why people would've put "Christmas Lights" as I was convinced it was a Christmas song, but couldn't work out which recent one would fit. I never thought of what they were watching as a 'play', looked like a nativity to me. The bonus questions were all a fail to me. Boo to the couple of people who missed the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, that was the first one that clicked with me and I thought it was the most straightforward of 'say what you see', there was no mistaking the chilli peppers!
September 17, 2024Sep 17 Author And here's how the final leaderboard looks - and yes someone who got them all right did finish top! 1 jimwatts (44 points) 2= awardinary (42 points) 2= Roba. (42 points) 2= ~1^∞ (42 points) 2= gooddelta (42 points) 6 JulianT (41 points) 7= dandy* (40 points) 7= Bjork (40 points) 7= spiceboy (40 points) 7= Riser (40 points) 7= StoneDragon (40 points) 12 Yobnedor (39 points) 13= Chez Wombat (38 points) 13= Dobbo (38 points) 13= Jade (38 points) 16= danG (37 points) 16= paulgilb (37 points) 18= Scene (36 points) 18= chrissmith276 (36 points) 18= PedroNL25 (36 points) 18= n4yr (36 points) 22= Ansel (34 points) 22= Adele (34 points) 22= J❄️hq (34 points) 25= PeteFromLeeds (33 points) 25= rio309 (33 points) 25= LewisGT (33 points) 28 King Rollo (32 points) 29 vibe (30 points) 30 Josh! (29 points) 31 Iz (26 points) 32 Mack. (25 points) 33 elgornio (24 points) 34 HarryBorelli (23 points) 35 Jordanlee1402 (22 points) 36 isanka (12 points) I probably should have broken down the bonus points but basically jimwatts got 4 bonus points, as did wardy, Roba and ~1^∞. gooddelta, JulianT and dandy* all got 2.
