Things that are overrated? [/fishing]

[mummywhycantieatcrayons]

Just got this from my mate who was on the winning team of the recent Only Connect series:

Hi - hope all is well with you both. Just messaging you both as I know you both said you were interested in being on Only Connect in the past. I've had an email from one of the producers - they're currently looking for teams for the next season they're filming and they're asking for any recommendations. I know they're partial to teams recommended by previous contestants so if either of you are going to enter a team for next season, let me know and i'll send them an email telling them how wonderful you are. Best,Sam

Thoughts, Kint?

[TANGODANCER]

Nope

Hendrix/guitar/All along the watchtower/Purple Haze...
cork/stopper
Plymouth,left hand drive
Ramsey's/restaurant?

[Bruce Rioja]

So,

We've got;

Hendrix
Cork
Plymouth
And Gordon Ramsay's.

I'm no nearer, possibly because about the only thing I know about Gordon Ramsay is that he's a sweary chef. I know a lot about Hendrix, and a little bit about both Cork and Plymouth. I see no connection - I declare myself a failure.

[TANGODANCER]

Cork, Plymouth and Ramsay are all sea ports. Hendrix is stumping me.

[Bruce Rioja]

Cork, Plymouth and Ramsay are all sea ports. Hendrix is stumping me.

Very good, Tango. I hadn't thought of that. Anyway, nope.

[TANGODANCER]

Very good, Tango. I hadn't thought of that. Anyway, nope.

Okay, your artistic licence being Hendrix, for "Hendricks", all brands of gin then.

(Last can be a double answer as there are both Ramsay's and Gordon's gin...I think..)

Oh hello.

Sounds good to me, mother. You still up for a shot at glory?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

Well done, Tango. They are indeed.

PS. Sea ports is a belting idea but I'd struggle to think up clues for Nhava Sheva, Mombasa and Qinghuangdao

[Lost Leopard Spot]

But you've inspired me.
Here's one for you to be getting on with. I expect it to be solved almost instantly






What's the connection... either as a city or a drug?

come on then... just say what you see (as they say on some other TV programme).

[mrkint]

pairs? idk

Well.... insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Now, while you, Pru and I didn't disgrace ourselves, and made a good attempt at arguing that at least one of us was born a middle-aged conservative, I just don't think that formula is going to cut it.

I think you think like they do (a frightening thought) and you need at least one older head (by at least 20 years, preferably more) alongside you.

On that basis, I would sub out either me or Pru and drop someone like LLS or Bobo in, if they were up for having a go and making the time.

[Bruce Rioja]

Knife
Fork
Bottle
Cork

No idea

[PC1978]

A song or nursery rhyme?

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Oh dear, maybe I misjudged my target audience... the clues all point to a song, if you sing it correctly. Maybe you've all never heard the song!

I'll put the answer in white

"A knife, a fork, a bottle and a cork, that's the way we spell New York, Jim." from " Cocaine In My Brain" by Dillinger.

Well, I'll volunteer Bobo for you, he was keen.

You sure dude? I don't really crave success just want to have a go and that, and don't see any harm in the same peeps applying. However, happy to bow to the consensus on this. It's only a game as they say
