remember that tv program Catchphrase?? 'Just say what you see'. I struggled with 2 as well, and you'll kick yourself if someone tells you...

Spoiler: (highlight to read)

but if you really need a hand, try thinking of other ways of saying two eg couple, duo etc... just keep saying things out loud as somehow your brain will make the connection easier... good luck

number two drove me nuts but as with many of the others I groaned with disgust when I finally got the answer.

not sure if the following counts as a spoiler but just in case

Spoiler: (highlight to read)

they are all classic books. to get number 2 I actually searched a list of classic English literature.



also, for number 5

Spoiler: (highlight to read)

you may need to try other words for porridge or donkey as realrebus suggested for number 2



trying to be helpful and vague

I liked this one - could have happily shot the person who designed it when I was solving it mind you - I groaned more at this card than any other I've tried so far (S1 included)...

Damned if i can figure out 6! Got the rest, i think, although I won't know if they're right until I try to put them in. I studied 3 and 4 at school so they were quite obvious, and the film for number 5 was actually on when i was trying to solve it!

3, 4 and 6 jumped out at me but the others have me tearing my hair out. I'm trying hard not to look at the spoilers beacuse I know I will know them...

GRRRRRRRRR!!

[EDIT: terrible grammatical error which made my eyes bleed]

Woowoo!

This card, by the way, is extremely amusing to show to friends. You can tell when they've got one of them, by the resulting groan.

I cannot convey in text a groan big enough to let you know how bad that number 2 was...

Perfect little hint though - thanks!

(just 1 and 5 to go...)

Woowoo!

1 is fairly straight forward.

Spoiler: (highlight to read)

No need to manipulate the words in the way you had to for 2. It really is a case of say what you sea.

Ah, if it's what I think it is (god bless google) I can rest safe in the knowledge that I've never heard of it (I was thinking of another book with that last word in it).

Cheers!

Woowoo!
