Here are no.s 10-12. Delia has already got one correct, as she is a moderator and is obviously psychic!

Hi Seamus,
You had to reveal the answers for Nos. 7-9 before I had a chance to see them, didn't you...?
Harry
P.S. If I have no 12 right, why the need for that bloke's pic (whoever he may be)? Seems superfluous to the rest of the name....

 

[Ghostly Vision]

Ah, Harry - didn't think that not everyone had put in answers when revealed them. D'oh.

Well, to me the guy's face is essential for the whole name to work, unless you can correct me in a PM? I would never have known who he was!!!

[Ghostly Vision]

Anyone up for 13-15?

Good luck

GV

I have only three more of these then I'll give the scores.

If anyone else wants to have a go at putting some together, I'd enjoy a go myself.

He (whoever he is) turns a noun into an adjective...

 

[Keith Dickinson]

13 seems to be unlucky for me.

 

[Tri-Counties Birder]

Here are a couple.

The second is ridiculously easy, these are just testers.
The first requires some creative thinking! (anyone whos seen the QI episode on TV with Rory McGrath might be able to get it)

 

[Ghostly Vision]

Sean, do you want people to PM you with answers so everyone can have a go? (Not that I have the first clue what they are yet).

Reference the latest pics, 13 is as expected proving difficult, but more people have got it correct than no. 15 at the moment.

Remember, if it doesn't sound quite right - it isn't.

Remember too, there is usually a reason for every picture, quite specifically in the case of 15.

Luckily there's only one more difficult one to go before I sign off.....

Don't suppose 13's a Speckled Hen is it?

[CornishExile]

Okay, please don't pm me, cos my inbox won't stand it... answers here on Monday. Two are (I reckon) dead straightforward. The first is maybe a little more oblique.

Three points?

Ain't these hard when you don't know the answer? Seriously I only have the "turd" one, not a clue on the first two.

I just thought like a tourist: imperial measurements and warm beer. Then the answer is easy!

Got the second two and if the first one is what I think it is then "oblique" hardly covers it!

Oi!! Giving clues isn't allowed! That one was my pride and joy!

How do you know your answer is correct???

Well, I've gotta be good at something, notice my absence from most of the ID threads. Especially the ones about these new-fangled gulls that have been invented in the last few years!
