Apterous is down again, so how about something (slightly) different.
Proper noun conundrum game.

I'll start with one, and the first person to get it gives a new one, and so on. Any Length and with spaces if you want.

Hmm. Finding it very difficult to get past 'buggery' and I don't see buggery as being a seasonal thing.

Posted: **Fri Sep 25, 2009 12:04 pm**

^ Try buggery in the winter and you'll soon realise that it is a seasonal thing.

Well, that's my afternoon project decided then, using 'Autumn' as the control - thanks for the idea, Kieran

When it's freezing cold and wet in the middle of winter have you never said, "I'm buggered if I'm going out there in this weather"?

In my limited experience it would be 'I'm going to get buggered unless I go out there in this weather'.

Posted: **Fri Sep 25, 2009 1:07 pm**

FFS. It's got nothing to do with buggery.

The manufacturers of this product regularly challenge the public over how they utilise this particular item. I'm unsure if they have done any thorough statistical analysis though.

There, that should make it really easy now.

I'd say Cadbury's Creme Egg has everything to do with buggery.

Is it the famous KRASS DINOS CUNT SCANDAL?

Posted: **Thu Oct 01, 2009 2:20 pm**

Sadly not Dinos! As a clue, it has a population of around 20,000

Posted: **Thu Oct 01, 2009 2:40 pm**

Bob De Caux wrote:Sadly not Dinos! As a clue, it has a population of around 20,000

That doesn't actually differentiate it from the KRASS DINOS CUNT SCANDAL though, which I think claimed 20,380 victims in total.

Posted: **Thu Oct 01, 2009 2:48 pm**

That was only the official total - the actual number of victims was much higher

It's a tough one, I'll give you that. I thought it was Santa Cristina de Caldesinos for a minute, but not quite.

It has some great anagrams, though:

classics did stun anorak
slick cats and dinosaurs
and discussions lack art
sick unsocial standards
sadist cocks and urinals
etc.
