I'll look forward to that, Mollygo πŸ€”

Glad you mentioned that Callistemon21. It puzzled me, as do most words in #287 blue.

A-maz-ing!

However, I had to look up the last word in the yellow line. It's slang used in some circles.

Ohh er that’s good
I have no idea how the last yellow one fits in but it’s all that’s left

oldanproud Mollygo is doing different days to anyone else

Oh yes - that is quite confusing! I had read the earlier post pointing that out, but forgotten about it again when I last posted!

BlueBelle Fri 22-Mar-24 14:46:27

Those are the ones I don’t understand Callistemon
First blue, last Purple

What a relief! An easier set, but I still don’t get one of the yellows.

Was the yellow one you don't get the one with something that can do what is stated (as can we humans), but really isn't in the same league as the other three when it comes to doing it?

I don't get the first blue one nor the last purple one.

Have you noticed with British TV quiz programmes, so many of the questions are about American sport?

I've got green and yellow too, but stumped on the others.

Back to staring at it πŸ˜ƒ
Should've asked DD when she phoned.
