I'm sure we will kick ourselves when one of us gets it, but in the meantime I'm stumped. Do you have a 'giveaway' clue up your sleeve, Val, or have you already posted it?

[Val]

I'm not very clever with clues. Anything I give you is likely to be thin and end up an even more waste of your time.

Last link (may help) :

News Of The World - Paul Weller

[nocheese]

It did help Val, and I am kicking myself. It’s a sign of the times that it took a while to link carbon with paper, a result of our paperless offices. Good one.
Paper

Paper hat
Wallpaper
Paper plane
Paper tiger
Paper trail
Paper cut
Paper doll
Paper towel
Paper tray
Carbon paper
Waste paper
Paper roll
Paperless
Paper cup
Paper moon
Newspaper

[Val]

No. 12. "Paper roll" works fine but I was thinking "paperback". Glad it's gone off as I was out of clues. The "news" clue only came to me at the last minute when I was pondering what to reply to you.

[Val]

Sign of the times #2. Does anyone make paper hats any more? My Dad used to make great ones from newspaper. I suppose we still talk of paper hats in Christmas crackers.

[nocheese]

Thanks Val. I should have got paperback. When I thought of paper hats it was the newspaper kind that came to mind, but I don't know if I've ever actually seen one.

I've been thinking for a while that this game is getting a little unwieldy, and wondering if we could speed things up by narrowing the field of possible answers a little. Maybe we could stipulate that all links are somehow music related, or go alphabetically? Any thoughts or other suggestions?

[Val]

Perhaps a particular named theme e.g. film titles, books, politicians, etc.

e.g. in my "paper" theme, there were song titles - "Paper Doll", "Paper Tiger", even "paperback" was part of a song title. I could have had "Paper Roses". "Paper Moon" was a film, as was "The Paperboy" and "Paper Planes".

[Lez]

Music-related should give us wiggle room, though I suppose that's what the game's about. I often wonder how it's progressed like this when it used to be 'got' after 4 or 5 choices.
Of course it really boils down to having more participants but there's not a lot we can do about that.

[nocheese]

Thanks for those helpful comments, Val and Lez. Anyone else got an opinion or suggestion? I’m hoping there are a few more folks out there who follow this thread and would participate more often if we changed it a bit.

[nocheese]

Apparently not. Maybe we can just state our theme at the start. My word can be music related, although not exclusively:

Don't Let the Light in - Low Island
For a Worthy Cause - Dead Pioneers
Hallelujah I'm a Bum - New Christy Minstrels

[nocheese]

Don't Let the Light in - Low Island

Bitter End - Young and Sick

[SussexWelsh]

Hi all, I still keep an eye on this thread but have not been able to give it, or many others, my full attention for a while as I am totally snowed under at work and also trying to get my "new" house together.

Val had me completely stumped on the last one.

I can't think of any constructive suggestions for changing the format either, I'm afraid.

[SussexWelsh]

Note?

Low note
Noteworthy
Bum note
Sick note

Assuming I'm right, your "clue" made this relatively easy, nc.

[nocheese]

You are correct, SW, although I had ‘notelet’ for the first one. Maybe I made it too easy!

[SussexWelsh]

Sorry for the habitual delay, folks.

Good to see you you back in the game Gordon. This being you, it may not be the usual 'link word' set, but I'll have a go with 'Guard'.

White Guard
Home Guard
Ghost Guard

[Gordon]

It is a link word, NC. I'd have to be back in the game for a while before I dared to play it a different way.

You have one link.

[Gordon]

I've never heard of cherry crab. Want to have another go at #1?

[Lez]

Crabapple!

[nocheese]

A cherry crab is a type of crab apple. I discounted crab apple because apple blossom was wrong.

[Gordon]

Well, clearly NC got it. Sorry, I didn't realise a hyphen would make such a big difference. And I was so careful to avoid listing anything by Herman's Hermits.

[nocheese]

My mistake Gordon, I shouldn’t have assumed that it couldn’t be apple. Good one, anyway, and it might have come to Herman’s Crabby Pets eventually.

[SussexWelsh]

Good one

Well, by George, Gordon, you've got it, although can I get my revenge and ask you to have another shot at #1?

[SussexWelsh]

Cottonmouth (snake) . Hope you don't mind me intruding.

[nocheese]

Not at all.

[SussexWelsh]

Over to Gordon though.

[nocheese]

Oh yes.

[Gordon]

Blimey! Me again?
