Friday Quiz: Specphrase

[Morkin]

3 - Break a leg?

[GreenCard]

3 - Break a leg?

Ding ding!

Morkin and PQR are tied leaders at three points each, just one clue (#8) remaining. We're down to the wire!

[Vampyre]

8 - reinvent the wheel?

Again, it's good, but unfortunately it's not right. :/

Not an "official" clue, and this might seem a bit obvious, but it's necessary to know what the thing to the right of the wheel is, and knowing what game it's from will help a lot.

I can't tell if it's some sausages, some turds or a bloke relaxing in a chair...

Total shot in the dark: Right side of the tracks.

One of those is correct (not the shot in the dark though, unfortunately).

[R-Tape]

A right mess?

[GreenCard]

A right mess?

Nope.

I'll wait another hour or so and then give a clue.

[stupidget]

Is it that famous British phrase 'Wheel turd green arrow'

or is it 'Feeling like a right turd wheel' from this excellent description:

"When a person is using a public washroom and the occupants in the stalls next to them are having a conversation that they are not included in. The person excluded from the conversation is the turd wheel."

I wish this was correct!

I'll post a couple of clues at around 4:00.

[PQR]

Last shot and then I'm off for the weekend. Is "Choosing the right wheelchair” an English expression..?

[GreenCard]

Last shot and then I'm off for the weekend. Is "Choosing the right wheelchair” an English expression..?

Possibly, but it's not the answer unfortunately.

A couple of clues:

- I was in two minds about including this one as it's not really a "saying" as such. Like the "Manic Monday" one, this is also a song title.
- The thing to the right of the wheel is a bunch of sausages.

I'd do anything for love, but I won't do that?

No!

[cmal]

This one’s driving me up the wall

[cmal]

No!

“I love sausage rolls”
That’s apparently a song

[GreenCard]

No!

“I love sausage rolls”
That’s apparently a song

This is a much, much older song.

[stupidget]

Is it ‘ride on thyme (and rosemary sausages)’?

[TMD2003]

We'll Meet Again... or should that be "Wheel Meat Again"?

Dame Vera will be spinning in her grave so fast that you could tie her to a dynamo and run enough Spectrums all at once to max out the Interface 1 network, and still have enough spare capacity for a Commodore Bread Bin with a 1451 disc drive that runs so hot that you could fry eggs on it.

[PeterJ]

Is number 8 killing sausage.

[clebin]

Is number 8 killing sausage.

Ah yes, Echo & The Bunnymen, good song.

[Joefish]

"I met that Vera Lynn, once".
"B*tch lied..."

She'd be fine! Obviously a specchum.

"I met that Vera Lynn, once".
"B*tch lied..."

To quote Ian Hislop*: IS NOTHING SACRED TO YOU?!!!

Correct!

Here are the scores...

1. Morkin/PQR
2. Joefish/PeterJ/stupidget
3. TMD2003

And that wraps up another Friday quiz. I've been GreenCard, you've all been amazing. Thank you all very much for playing.

[R-Tape]

Ta for the brilliant quiz and clues. 'Wheel meat' was inspired, as was TMD in guessing it.

[Daren]

Why the green down arrow? What's the significance of that?

[R-Tape]

Why the green down arrow? What's the significance of that?

It's pointing to the repeated version of wheel meat = 'again'.
