what's a hawser?

myp · **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2017 20:29

This. Is. Epic.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Everything is fine. Vision and Malc have got this.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

My first instinct is a gun. But that's a Mauser.

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2017 21:25

I don't know what is either. :facepalm:

Therefore, I'm going with my friends dads reasoning whenever he watches the Chase... Middle for Diddle... My guess is 'Rope'

Everyone ok with that? After that, we pass... Unless Malc knows any better?

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

Rope it is!

Malc · **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2017 22:28

Um...

Malc · **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2017 22:33

I don't really know what that is, looking at the board I'm thinking along the lines of pirate/deck/boat/air/fly but that's just guessing

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2017 22:37

I told you we've got this and since no one knows what it is... Middle for Diddle!

Guess - Rope.

Grim... · **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2017 22:49

Yup!

Guess again.

myp · **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2017 22:53

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2017 22:56

Wow.

I've never seen the middle for diddle work before. First time for everything I guess. :DD

TheVision · **Posted:** Tue Nov 07, 2017 22:57

Would string therefore be a sensible guess next?

No, wait! Let's do some thinking!

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

If rope was right, could a Hauser be boat thing?

Malc · **Posted:** Wed Nov 08, 2017 10:26

When I saw it I did think of military/nautical/RAF type things, but I don't know if that's because it sounds like hosing down the ship and that Arnie is Hauser in Total Recall.

Malc · **Posted:** Wed Nov 08, 2017 12:20

By my maths there are 22 squares left, 7 of which red, 7 of which are blue, 1 is instant loss, and 7 of which are neutral.

There is an equal chance of guessing right, guessing the other team or guessing neutral.

The options of the words that people have said are (i'm ignoring mine because they are based on sounding like something else) leave us with string or a boat thing. Although 3 of mine are boat things.

I really don't know so I'm happy to go along with others here, especially as from lunch time I am on a team building thing, so probably won't check back in until this evening.

::taps mic::

Is this thing on?

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

Imma guess deck. Who's with me?

TheVision · **Posted:** Wed Nov 08, 2017 15:53

Yeah, why not?

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

Here I go!

guess : deck

Yahoo!

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49232

Sadly white. I shall attempt to do better, team.

Doctor Glyndwr · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 32619

DECK is GREY

Red team's go!

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

Gah! Could've been worse

stratosphere:2

GazChap · **Posted:** Wed Nov 08, 2017 18:28

"air" certainly, I should think.

"star" too?

GazChap · **Posted:** Wed Nov 08, 2017 18:30

Actually, I prefer "fly" to "star" - pretty sure some planes fly in the stratosphere.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25594

Or parachute or fly

myp · **Posted:** Wed Nov 08, 2017 19:08

Stars aren't in the stratosphere.

Air and fly seem good to me.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25594

I’m happy with that. I’d say ‘air’ was the stronger word so go for that first? As Lonewolvrs and Gazchap agreed already,

guess: air

Doctor Glyndwr · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 32619

AIR is RED

Curiosity · **Posted:** Wed Nov 08, 2017 20:57

I’d go with fly

myp · **Posted:** Wed Nov 08, 2017 20:58

On Mars maybe

myp · **Posted:** Wed Nov 08, 2017 20:58

Wait, Mars doesn't have air

myp · **Posted:** Wed Nov 08, 2017 23:02

guess fly

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12243

Fly is neutral. Red team’s turn is over.

Mimi · **Joined:** 27th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 25594

Russell! Omg.

Pinafore : 2

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

First thoughts ship and opera

Malc · **Posted:** Thu Nov 09, 2017 9:32

So HMS Pinafore I get for ship, why opera? A pinafore is a type of dress, but I don't see anything that goes with that, what's the opera link?

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

HMS Pinafore is an opera, isn't it?

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

Actually, forget the hedged bets. HMS Pinafrore *is* an opera.

Malc · **Posted:** Thu Nov 09, 2017 9:43

okay cool, then I'm down with those 2 then.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

Ok, we'll wait for a third though.

Mr TheVision? Romanista?

TheVision · **Posted:** Thu Nov 09, 2017 9:49

I'm happy with those two. Let's go for it.

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38464

Guess: opera

Mr Russell · **Joined:** 6th Apr, 2008 **Posts:** 12243

Opera is BLUE, Carry on.
