ReplyDeleteDoes knowing how to highlight the answers count as a different sort of brilliance?
ReplyDeleteGot 3 this time, the same ones as Welshcakes.
ReplyDelete1. The letter "G"
ReplyDelete2. It's not a dance, it's a pasta recipe, a bit like lasagne.
3. "Emerald wedding anniversary" is in fact slang for "divorce"
4. A "leprechaun" is middle english for flaky skin on your toes, as in "a leper's corn"
5. Both of them.
What's my score?
No letters in Scrabble have any value: it's a rotten ruddy game.
ReplyDeleteAh, Welshcakes, those of us footloose and fancy free should hardly be expected to.
ReplyDeleteGallimaufry - it certainly gives you extra.
Cherie - not sure what it says about you, mystery girl.
Mark - your score is 72 virgins, sir.
Dearieme - and one best avoided, as I have done for some decades now but one always lives in terror.
3/5 this time. I have seen more than one of the Leprechaun films to my eternal shame!
ReplyDeletehad to laugh with the Scrabble comments. I so agree.
