I can only think it might be a word ending in foot? ------foot Neutral

by **Feather** on Mon 13 Jun 2011, 1:10 pm

That is correct. Now think of a word for "sore" and put it in front of "foot".

You know what, my arachnid-loving friend, I've forgotten.

It's been so long since I thought it up just completely gone from my head. I know it was something to do with a lawyer -- *brief* -- get it? but

I just plain can't remember. Sad

Am I to be locked away in the Cupboard now?

I'm sorry.

by **KitKat** on Thu 13 Oct 2011, 9:18 am

DUH ... Jamboree. Are you going to give us another one then?

And no ... that doesn't get you into The Cupboard! Nice try though.

by **Feather** on Fri 21 Oct 2011, 11:44 am

Why are we waiting? Jamboree, where are you? Let's get this ball rolling again--- Wink

I wonder if Jamboree just plain made a mistake ... in the number of letters in the word (?)
e.g. could DEFENDER be the word you were looking for? Fits into the description BUT 8 letters rather than 7.

lol, Jamboree, if that's the case you should just own up to it. It's not a torturing offence!

Come here and let us know one way or the other and we can carry on with the game.
If we don't hear from you by the end of the weekend, we should maybe just go on without you.

by **Jamboree** on Mon 24 Oct 2011, 2:46 pm

I do believe you may well be right. Embarassed

Mea Culpa.

Do please carry on regardless and take no notice of me hiding in the corner.
