bridge too far Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 Possibly 'bleats'? Pounds = beats L = 50 in crossword-speak, I think so I can't see how that would work. I was working on the lines of 'C........' for One hundred pounds and a word for 'yard' backwards with an 'o' in the middle. But I'm stumped. I've even googled and wiki'd animal noises FFS!
hamster Posted 13 April, 2012 Author Posted 13 April, 2012 Possibly 'bleats'? Pounds = beats Like it timbuc.
bridge too far Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 dat last one is "meows" innit. Yep that's right!
hamster Posted 13 April, 2012 Author Posted 13 April, 2012 dat last one is "meows" innit. Legend bearsy. As soon as I saw it the penny dropped.... Nothing = O and a MEWS is a 'yard' tada meows.
buctootim Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 Legend bearsy. As soon as I saw it the penny dropped.... Nothing = O and a MEWS is a 'yard' tada meows. Brilliant. I tried dropping the zero into metre, garden, stick - all sorts but couldnt see that.
hamster Posted 13 April, 2012 Author Posted 13 April, 2012 But how does that work? If you pound something you beat it. I'm not saying it has ought to do with the actual answer, I'm just enjoying how some of you's lot's brains work.... If we get this sorted before kick off then I may HAVE TO go to the pub again tonight to submit it, and I really am trying to save a few bob this week so may have to 'take the dogs for a walk' and leave mrs h at home with her stupid vampire diaries.....

LOL, we are not on the same wavelemgth mrs b, not even on the same question either i fear.
Whitey Grandad Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 You could try what I do which is to approach it from the other direction. Find a list of animal noises and see if any fit the clues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animal_sounds http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090505171428AAoxieJ
hamster Posted 13 April, 2012 Author Posted 13 April, 2012 pounds = beats One hundred = L put it all together and what have you got? Not sure this method is a recognised method though?
Whitey Grandad Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 Possibly 'bleats'? Pounds = beats We've already got bleat for #6.
Whitey Grandad Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 dat last one is "meows" innit. Brilliant! Thank **** for that. Perhaps I can get some sleep tonight. Oh bugger, there's still number 1.
bridge too far Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 LOL, we are not on the same wavelemgth mrs b, not even on the same question either i fear. I was considering two questions at once - you know, multi-tasking? Something we girls are good at. To clarify: 'One hundred pounds' = C (for 100) followed by a word for 'pounds'. Which is why I can't see how 'bleats' would work. I was a bit astray with the 'nothing in a built up yard' but as soon as I saw Bearsy's answer, the penny dropped. So........ it's just the 'One hundred pounds' that's stumping you, yes?
bridge too far Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 pounds = beats One hundred = L put it all together and what have you got? Not sure this method is a recognised method though? Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!! One hundred = C. Fifty = L

Find a list of animal noises and see if any fit the clues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animal_sounds http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090505171428AAoxieJ I think that's called cheating wg! I am quite frankly shocked that my fellow swf'ers would stoop that low for a measley 'Ayrton'* * I discovered that an 'Ayrton' is a tenner (£10) as in Ayrton Senna. I discovered this whilst trying to cheat myself. My fave (current) slang is 'commodore' for fifteen quid, can anyone work that little baby out eh? And i will take this opportunity to educate you all in the one rhyming slang that you all get wrong every time you use it. A long period of time IS NOT 'Donkey's Years' IT IS 'Donkey's Ears'. Stop saying Donkey's yaers please, it drives me nuuuuts.
hamster Posted 13 April, 2012 Author Posted 13 April, 2012 Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!! One hundred = C. Fifty = L Yeah but wasn't a £ (or a one'r) written as 'L' in old money ie l, s, d, pounds shillings and pence? I am sure that on this matter i am correct mrs b but I do like it when you shout at me on here, kinda cute.

Wurzel Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 Clicks? Just came up with same. Thesaurus includes lick for pound, so 100 licks = c licks = clicks = ummmm a noise made by a clicky thing?
Whitey Grandad Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 Yeah but wasn't a £ (or a one'r) written as 'L' in old money ie l, s, d, pounds shillings and pence? I am sure that on this matter i am correct mrs b but I do like it when you shout at me on here, kinda cute. It's yer actual Latin. Librae, solidi, denarii. Libra means 'pound' as in 'pound of silver', also, a solidus is the name for the symbol '/' also known as forward-slash. (Technically much easier than the rearward slash, if you know what I mean)
Whitey Grandad Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 Just came up with same. Thesaurus includes lick for pound, so 100 licks = c licks = clicks = ummmm a noise made by a clicky thing? Dolphins and zebras to name but two. Examples that is.
bridge too far Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 Just came up with same. Thesaurus includes lick for pound, so 100 licks = c licks = clicks = ummmm a noise made by a clicky thing? By a dophin according to Wiki's animal sounds. Looks like that's your final answer Hammie!
hamster Posted 13 April, 2012 Author Posted 13 April, 2012 You're a clever bunch and I am very proud of you. i think that we have it sorted now with c lick. It's a long wait for the results (end of the month closing date) but I think we're in with a chance, last month the best score was 19/20, and there's some right smart arses in Deal, I think i must have lowered the average IQ somewhat when i moved in but **** 'em, I'm one of the few 'born in deal' people here nowadays and that counts for more than an educacion in my book. They might have brains but they ain't got no coal dust in their veins like me. Bloody Londoners, come down here' nicking all the nice 'ouses and talking in their funny poshcockney accents and opening their little pie n mash shop (CLOSED now hahaha) and little arty farty galleries and bootiques.
hamster Posted 13 April, 2012 Author Posted 13 April, 2012 Oh hang on...have we got the same answer twice here? Oh buggar!
bridge too far Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 Oh hang on...have we got the same answer twice here? Oh buggar! Not if you put 'tweet' for number 11
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 1 C-hitter (One hundred and a hitter pounds things)
hamster Posted 13 April, 2012 Author Posted 13 April, 2012 1 C-hitter (One hundred and a hitter pounds things) Liking this D. Mrs b 11 must be click, tweet is very different apparently. anyone else for 'Chitter'?
Whitey Grandad Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 1 C-hitter (One hundred and a hitter pounds things) More likely to be 'chits'? But I don't know of any animals that make that sound.
Whitey Grandad Posted 13 April, 2012 Posted 13 April, 2012 Liking this D. Mrs b 11 must be click, tweet is very different apparently. anyone else for 'Chitter'? Only that 'pounds' is a plural or a verb, not a noun.
hamster Posted 7 May, 2012 Author Posted 7 May, 2012 Well done but no prize this time, 30 correct entries. 11 was tweet.
Whitey Grandad Posted 16 May, 2012 Posted 16 May, 2012 Well done but no prize this time, 30 correct entries. 11 was tweet. Thanks for the update. What was the answer for number 1?
hamster Posted 16 May, 2012 Author Posted 16 May, 2012 Thanks for the update. What was the answer for number 1? Coo buddy.
