Mad Hatter? Do you mean my mother?
I got called Alice for a year and a half cos my school did a production of it when I was about 7. I don't know what my name is anymore!

So if the force is with SBD - that could make Coops Derren's very own tall, long-haired, loyal warrior friend CHEWBACCA!!
Victoria Station - lots of trains - Choo Choo!!
Buck House - Beckingham (according to Spasm) - Becks -
Put them together and what have we got? Bibbitty Bobbitty ....
CHEWBACCA!!
(and I really REALLY hope Coops isn't the sensitive sort when he's reading this thread!!!!)
Spasm - can't believe you're giving up on the Beckhams - after all that time ...
Oh - and that fairground attraction that I was talking about before? Silly me - it's the damn ferris wheel, isn't it? - the London Eye.
Top of it? - Bird's Eye view. Does that make Coops the Captain??
Or an owl? (looking down on the rabbits in Buck House?)
(and yet another day dawns in the saga of Nobacherie ...)

Lol, Draggy!
Blimey, P-T, you have been busy! I like your ideas, though.
The best I could come up with last night re the Malaga one was 'misplaced' or 'M is placed'. -sigh-
Squawker, have no fear - the fast food one was just a diversion! I'm still trying to find some connection to the Unofficial Royal Family! -snigger-

Another one of those things I couldn't get out of my brain otherwise than by writing it down.
It's not supposed to be a serious attempt, though. You knew that, right?
I suppose a lot of people here are too young to remember '3-2-1' and its silly, convoluted clues. Trust me, people, you didn't miss much (but bizarrely I think I saw almost every episode of that show).

We had a dusty bin laundry basket in our house when I was a kid.
I never asked where it came from.

Oh no, I knew exactly what you were doing there!  I remember watching 3-2-1 when I was a teenager, and I don't think I ever recall anyone actually working out any of the clues and getting them right! There were a few guesses, sure, but did a contestant ever say 'Well, Ted, this could be pointing to a pancake, so it would be obvious that this is the new Ford Batter, but then what happens to the frying pan after you've made pancakes? It goes black and burnt. And where do you put burnt things? It's Dusty Bin!!"

This thread's got far, far too much stuff for anyone to recall.* In my case, it was just the wild guesses reminded me of the stupid 'logic' used in the clues.
Also, when I tried doing the finger-flicking while thinking about this thread, my hand kept getting stuck showing '2'...
EDIT: *I wasn't trying to rip off your joke.

For victory, right? If not, you're starting the wrong way round...

Yeah I know - just pleased that someone else could see the similarities!

Which reminds me of the other point I thought of while doing the Dusty Bin answer.
It's possible to make the clues fit just about anything. While some of my connections were a bit tenuous, a few make sense (kind of).
Of course, now SBD will turn up and say that my spoof answer had a lot of things which were very close and poor Spasm will collapse.

*is already sitting here, broken and exhausted, with half a bottle of gin in one hand, and a security blanket in the other*
I seem to have developed a Derren-esque head twitch, and I know everything there is to know about the Beckhams. I think I'll go and drown myself in the sink...

When did the revalation of David's affair come into the public eye? Was it before or after Seance? If it's after then does it have anything to do with the Bechams or just the word affair?

Aww - just wait! You'll get there in the end! - If all else fails, you can write a new Beckham biography ...

SBD: First principles, Spaz. Read Marcus Aurelius. Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature? What does he do, this man you seek?
Spaz: He's DBs assistant?
SBD: No! That is incidental. What is the first and principal thing he does, what need does he serve by assisting?
Spaz: Anger, social resentment, sexual frustration--
SBD: No, he covets. That's his nature. And how do we begin to covet, Spaz? Do we seek out things to covet? Make an effort to answer.
Spaz: No. We just--
SBD: No. Precisely. We begin by coveting what we see every day. Don't you feel eyes moving over your body, Spaz? I hardly see how you couldn't. And don't your eyes move over the things you want?

Hi everyone
I've given in to the madness and signed up for nobacherie induced insanity. Has it already been said that there's a restored victorian railway station at Llanfair...thing? I thought maybe in Wales they have welsh rarebit instead of fish and chips, and Greeane could have been a welsh rabbit in a past life? |
