  I always enjoy when you post one of these Scott, but my gray matter doesn't  seem to be wired right to figure them out.   I've never seen The Chase, in fact, never heard of it.  I had to do a Google search, but it didn't help.

  Looking forward to the next one.

  Thanks Henry. There are so many different TV shows, celebrities and objects around the world that I could use for these little puzzles, it is inevitable that some of you, and I, will not be familiar with them, and I'm sure there is nothing wrong with your wiring Henry.  ; )

  Scott Hope - you could not meet a nicer , more helpful guy . But when he can only get 6 or so people joining in his efforts you know this forum is almost dead . ----- Use it or lose it folks .

  Thanks Craig, your cheque (or digital equivalent) is in the post / ether.  : ))

  It would be a shame if this forum disappeared because there is a lot of info here, if only you can find it. I'm not sure how easily you can find things on Discord but I'd rather search on here than there.

  I was thinking the same, especially when Scott's skill at making quizzes trickier is evolving faster than AI. 😆

  Me, either. It isn't airing in my area.

  Agreed 💯%.  

  Almost everything I know about the game, I learned from these forums. Back in the day, a lot of skilled players used to share their techniques here for free. Those posts are still here somewhere, just buried deep. And of course, there were a lot of people asking technical stuff, too. Now there's almost none, which probably means there are no genuine new users coming in; they're all previous users creating new accounts.

  ↓↓ Cheers, Scott! Looking forward to the next one. ↓↓

  Heehee, it's all down to Blender & Audacity really but I'll take some of the credit for pressing the buttons. Cheers Simon.  ; )

  Oh, sorry about that Simon.

  Craig, I have seen the episodes where those questions popped up so I won't answer them, but watching Bradley attempting to read something while trying to keep his hysterics under control is hilarious.  : ))
