Argh! And I thought you'd all have solved it by now.
Spasm - sorry - didn't get back to you on my 'financial' theories - don't think they're relevant but if you still want to know .... I'm sure I can remember them (positive that they were quite relevant at the time!!!!)
One question - DAVE - are the 10 clues in the correct order for the acronym? Any chance of an answer to that????
Oh - and someone mentioned 'fascinating' as being DB's 'word' - I seem to recall that in TOM he took the piss out of the number of times he came up with the word 'Fantastic' ...
OK - going to get some lunch - see if it helps my little brain come up with anything useful!!!! (hasn't worked so far in life but there's always hope ...)

I'm still not convinced it's an acronym. It's way too long, and some of the clues would have to point towards words like 'and' or 'as'...

Spasm,
I agree - he never said it was an acronym, did he? He just said 'ten letters, ten clues' (and, as you say, in this case we need some preps and suchlike in there)
Think we need another hint ... like HOW MANY WORDS?
I still think Nobacherie means NO IDEA!
It fits!

Could it be that the ten clues relate to the order in which the letters appear?
-tries writing the sentences one under the other, and squints at the results-
And I like the 'No Idea'! Hehe!
(Best anagram I can come up with that uses all the letters is 'aerobic hen'. Hmmm.)

Can I just ask - I've not got Seance or Messiah on tape - how exactly is Coops credited?
Which comes first, this bastard word, or his name?
Is it all in capitals?
And how much do we know about the nature of Coops's work? Anything we know he definitely does?

Does Coops have a 'real name'? What is it?
What do you mean it's not fair to publish it on a public board?

-still trying to work clues around 'Cherabino'!-
If anything, it's giving me a laugh thinking of Mr. Derren as a Count! (although my mind automatically makes him Count Dracula...)
Grrr, Big Dave's other clues fit it so well!!

Right Guys have been doing some investigation, regardless of my deep and growing knowledge that Coops and SBD are just sitting watching this unravel and laughing thier little socks off.
These connections are all a it random but I have been working through the home office website again today so it tends to do that to your brain.
1) We have established that the London Eye is sponsored by BA.
2)Macmillan are an Academic publishers, they do produce accountancy stuff.
3) Hilda Nobach is a medieval something or other and has published books and is connected to the Alchemy Website.
(to be honest this tangent came from the late enrollment clue, I wondered off into a world of medievalness and this is where I ended, though Alchemy is a good place I think, Coops turning the stuff DVB does into Gold maybe?)
4) The top of London Eye, 1) Nelsons column taller
2) RAF Memeorial
3) MOD Building
Well I think my head is strating to hurt even more now but I am interested to see what people think of the medieval theory?

Sorry - help in what respect? By saying what can be seen from that photo?
All that greenery is St James' Park. On Buckingham Palace's left side, it turns into Green Park.

Does this help anyone? It's an aerial picture of the Buckingham Palace area (if you zoom out you can see the london eye up and to the right) and when you mouse over it you see the streetmap laid on top.
I have discovered Liverpool St station is nowhere near and not in that direction, so I guess that's not the scouse reference.
O' course if it's looking OVER 'Buck House' it might not be something on the ground anyway. *shrug*
And is Buck House Buckingham Palace re-worded to rhyme with scouse, or is it something else?

What else do we know?
Its obvious
Its not rude
Coops doesnt mind being called it so its not an insult
It must relate to his job/his role (?)
Dave keeps pushing the 'spelling' so I keep trying to incorporate that but not getting anywhere. Do some letters stand for e.g. 'Edit' 'Review' 'Copy' 'English'?
Could Coops have mistyped something that has become an in joke? Maybe Derren scribbled corrections on something Coops typed - some foreign phrases maybe?

This is what Metaffer said
| Quote: | | If you look in the direction of Buckingham palace from the top of the London Eye, you'll see 10 Downing Street, where Cherie Blair lives. She is from Liverpool, therefore a scouse. The clue either means that the name is nothing to do with the word "cherie", or that it is but not connected to Cherie Blair. So it's not really much help unless we know which of the two they mean. |
I think they could be right.
In the credits was Coops in capital letters? It could maybe something related to a computer trying to make people think that Coops is a programme or something. So therefore Nobacherie therefore relates to something like DOS, RAM etc.. Nah....... I don't think so somehow!
