You're getting soft Colin!

annabrzz.bsky.social•21 days ago

Not that many years ago this would have been much harder to get

south0303.bsky.social•20 days ago

Not for me, it would have been a bit easier.

petehenry139.bsky.social•21 days ago

Excellent clue got it as I was writing it down.

emilyscat.bsky.social•20 days ago

Colin - please don’t listen to all the “ho ho but this was so easy Colin!” band. Like everything, they’re only easy when you know the answer! I’m just relieved the clue clicked eventually 🤣

Most of them are probably lying 😂

Ha! Amazing Fearsome Friday. Brilliant. Have a great weekend. See you all on Monday.

Eventually!

south0303.bsky.social•21 days ago

40 really could be anything, but it was only by elimination of possible second to first names did I twig what it meant.

gw7hoc.bsky.social•20 days ago

Spitting image.

gbc1.bsky.social•19 days ago

🤦‍♀️👍

davidlund.bsky.social•21 days ago

This is the beauty of cryptic clues, some will twig straight away; others will eventually; others will never 😬😬

emilyscat.bsky.social•21 days ago

Yep, I fear I’m in the last lot. I feel defeated already 😭😭

emilyscat.bsky.social•21 days ago

Oh FFS 🤦🏻‍♀️
OF COURSE!

fabientempest.bsky.social•21 days ago

I’m still struggling. Is it one of those that just suddenly hits you?

emilyscat.bsky.social•21 days ago

It was when I realised what the clue was about… and having already gone through every possible first name I could make with the letters 😅

fabientempest.bsky.social•21 days ago

Got it now !!

davidlund.bsky.social•21 days ago

There’s a line in a Simply Red track which I now understand relates directly to this person…we live and learn 😲😲

blueboy227.bsky.social•21 days ago

Are you gonna divulge the song?🤣

davidlund.bsky.social•15 days ago

I know this is a bit late but, for reference the line is from ‘Money’s too tight to mention’ and goes; “Did the earth move for you Nancy?” 😀👍

blueboy227.bsky.social•15 days ago

Cracker clue. I never got it I must admit. Been really hit and miss lately. Thanks for responding

fabientempest.bsky.social•21 days ago

That helped. Thank you !

dazzalldarren.bsky.social•20 days ago

Ah, the clue was key for me today

redjonny.bsky.social•21 days ago

Possibly the quickest I've ever got one!

runningreb13.bsky.social•20 days ago

On different levels, I simultaneously love and hate this answer.

benny80s90s.bsky.social•20 days ago

BTW Ben Ainslie..
I couldn't say much, even commenting on that, might have been perceived as a clue (same name?)😂
I always remember that incredible (hulk of a) quote...
"They've made me angry and you don't want to make me angry..."😂

benny80s90s.bsky.social•20 days ago

No no it's not easy!😱
If you twig what the clue means then yes it probably a 💡moment! I didn't!
Some hard grafting needed otherwise. Got it now!😀

n1ckyj.bsky.social•20 days ago

I Never get these

benny80s90s.bsky.social•20 days ago

Friday's are often the hardest to be fair. During the week, they should be easier...
Actually @mrcolinmurray.bsky.social you have "Fearsome Friday", why not have an easy "Not so manic" or "Mellow" Monday, eh?😀
Just an idea!😜

fabientempest.bsky.social•21 days ago

Got it! It's NOT red anal organ !
