Re: Enigma Machine #18

Whew, this must be payback time for last week! The only one that leaps off the page today is #12 - Six Feet Underground, and maybe #7 - Dropped Vowel.

[Hugh]

#12 is exactly it Rick, #7 isn't even close. Yes there are some tricky ones...............what else is new? I think you will get some others with a little thought. Maybe Ranald will have a chance at some this week!

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #18

Thanks Hugh, back to the drawing board on #7, but here's a couple more stabs: #1 - Driving in Reverse; #2 - Toothache; #5 - Midnight; #10 - Triumph; #11 - No One (Is) Indispensable.

[Hugh]

Actually Rick there were 2 thakes, but all the others were spot on. Good work!

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #18

Ah, I took #2 as Two Thake. A couple more stabs this morning: #3 - Teacup; #6 - Oddballs. #4, 7, 8 and 9 are still playing hard to get! Thanks!

[Hugh]

Right on Rick. Keep up the good work.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #18

Well Hugh, for #8 I'll try "Toupe" or "Toupee" (sorry, I can't get the accent in, but you know what I mean 'eh!), but unless Ranald can bail me out on the last three, I'll surrender and watch for the next one. Have a great weekend!

Re: Enigma Machine #18

Hey, Hugh! I'm stepping out on a limb here...but is #7 "eye drop"? That's what I got. I'd figured out a couple others, but Rick "spoiled" it....just kidding!!! Joan

[Hugh]

Correct Rick, another bullseye, you are on a roll, don't quit now.

Cheers,

Hugh

[Hugh]

Aha, a new voice is heard and a good one. Doug gave Eye drops but I think maybe yours is more correct since it is only one "i" involved. Way to go. We seem to have lost Ranald who was just really getting on to it.

Cheers,

Hugh

Re: Enigma Machine #18

Joan gets my vote on #7, and I'm quite unable to "spoil" 4 and 9!:smile:

Re: Enigma Machine #18

..... and of course the answers just popped up on my screen, making the last two perfectly obvious now that you mention it. Great fun, thanks all!...
