Book and film, two words.
"You've left the henhouse door open again! Two dozen of our best layers have escaped into the fields. Oh -I see a couple have come back, but hurry! You must find the rest and get them locked up again before dusk."

Housey . . .
You made that obvious on purpose, didn't you? To encourage me?
I feel so patronised!!!!
Or is it that sometimes you just read/hear one of the clues and it immediately twigs, while other times you're thinking over every aspect of the clue? Is that the nature of the game?
So it it better to use better known or more obscure titles?
I'm thinking better known but in more twisted scenarios?
Have I got the gist of it?

A group of scientists led by David McKay of NASA's Johnson Space Center published an article in the 16 August 1996 issue of Science magazine announcing the discovery of evidence for it in a primitive bacterial form. An examination of a meteorite found in Antarctica shows: 1) hydrocarbons which are the same as breakdown products of dead micro-organisms on Earth, 2) mineral phases consistent with by-products of bacterial activity, and 3) tiny carbonate globules which may be microfossils of the primitive bacteria, all within a few hundred-thousandths of an inch of each other.

TBH, it was one I used on the "Mornington Crescent " charades thread a couple of years ago. If I remember correctly, it wasn't solved specially quickly so no, it wasn't a deliberate plant! |

Film - Six Words
Hello Billy, are you helping your Mum with the vegetables? Oh, there's lovely. What's that? You're peeling the beans now? Splendid - and you started off in the bedroom, and you're working your way down the stairs and you'll have them all done by the time you get to the kitchen! That's lovely! That'll explain why I found this bean all by himself at the side of the bath then.

Hamish!
Dougal! Come away in! Ye'll've had yer tea?!
Dinna fash yersel, Hamish -- I'm no so keen on havin' tea, not since I enrolled on that evening-class doon at the Mechanics & Philosophy Institute.
Oh, aye, Dougal. Would that be yon low-carbon high-speed two-seater transport thing?
Aye, Hamish -- but it's no so much a craft as I thought, and there's religion involved!
Jings! Does it go on aboot that -- hoo d'ye call it -- that metaphysical forestry palaver, and alimony?
Aye, all that, Hamish, but that's no exactly whit they call it doon there.
Dinna fret, Dougal. Nae doot there'll've been a book aboot it . . . Book, seven words. |
