Yup. That's what I thought. :)
Btw, has Switzerland ever done anything in World Cup
or European tournaments? Isn't the population majority
German, and Germany, of course, is always good in the sport.
Also, have you seen the National Geographic feature on football/soccer?

Oh, and how about "h"s?

Guinevere 11-08-2006 01:54 PM

"Th-t/ h-t/ ---t-/ ---/ --------/, ---ht/ h---/ ----/ --d-/ ---/ ---/. -/ h---/ th----/ --/ ----/ ---h/ ---/."



ot: I must admit I have no idea http://www.travar.de/Templates/Webpr...embarassed.gif I am not a sportsfan at all. During the world championship was the first time I ever watched some games. ( the next European Championship in 2008 will be held in Switzerland)

Estelyn Telcontar 11-09-2006 04:31 AM

A, please.

Tuor in Gondolin 11-10-2006 09:55 AM

Any "m"s?

Guinevere 11-10-2006 10:47 AM

TDHAP M

There aren't too many stories with a "hat", but it did take awhile for me to search through Roverandom, Farmer Giles, and Tom Bombadil till I finally found the quote in Smith of Wootton Major:
Quote:

Nokes... had always wished to become Master Cook...
...he used to put on the tall white hat and look at himself in a polished frying pan and say: 'How do you do, Master. That hat suits you properly, might have been made for you. I hope things go well with you.'

Guinevere 11-11-2006 07:07 AM

Correct
 
Sorry to have wasted so much of your time... ;)
(my referance was to your football hat of course)

ot: I have now bought the special edition of Smith of Wootton Major too and am currently enjoying Tolkien's introduction to The Golden Key

Estelyn Telcontar 11-11-2006 07:59 AM

We can upload our pictures to the internet faster than Nokes could polish his frying pan! Here's a new one - perhaps applicable to HI? ;)

Quote:

He had no business to go home without reporting. We are much displeased!
said the king, when he learned that Farmer Giles on his way back with the dragon and the treasure had turned to his home instead of coming straight to the king.

Estelyn Telcontar 11-13-2006 02:54 AM

Very good, Guinevere - I'm proud that it took you at least a bit longer and a few letters more than normal to figure this one out! ;)

Guinevere 11-13-2006 01:59 PM

Thank you, Esty!

"--/ ----/ ---/ ----/ ------/ ------/ ---/ ----/ --/ -------/ --/ --/; -----/ -'-/ ----/, ---/ ----/ --/ ---/ ----/ ----------/ --/ ---/ ---/."

Estelyn Telcontar 11-13-2006 02:14 PM

S, please.

Guinevere 11-13-2006 02:29 PM

yess, but we has only two...

"--/ ----/ ---/ ----/ ------/ ------/ ---/ ----/ --/ -------/ --/ --/; -----/ -'-/ ----/, ---/ --s-/ --/ ---/ ----/ ----------/ --/ ---/ s--/."

Estelyn Telcontar 11-13-2006 02:41 PM

No S without T...

Estelyn Telcontar 11-14-2006 08:06 AM

ESTY

OK, I know Y may be a rare letter, but just for the fun of having my nick complete...

Guinevere 11-14-2006 12:37 PM

:D two Y's for Esty!

"-y/ ----/ --e/ ---e/ -ey---/ -e----/ ---/ t--e/ --/ t-----t/ --/ -e/; ----e/ -'-/ -e-t/, t-e/ --st/ --/ ---/ ----/ -e-t-e-t--/ t-/ t-e/ se-/."

Estelyn Telcontar 11-14-2006 01:14 PM

M, please.

Guinevere 11-14-2006 01:32 PM

MY SET

"My/ ----/ --e/ ---e/ -ey---/ -e----/ ---/ t--e/ --/ t-----t/ --/ me/; ----e/ -'m/ -e-t/, t-e/ --st/ --/ ---/ ---m/ -e-t-ert--/ t-/ t-e/ se-/."

Estelyn Telcontar 11-14-2006 02:44 PM

Hmmm, the end is almost certainly "to the sea", and it looks like two lines of poetry - but I can't find it in the poems I've searched so far. Am I right with that suspicion?

At any rate, let's have another letter; maybe that will help. R, please.

Guinevere 11-15-2006 02:50 AM

MYSTER(Y)

"My/ ----/ -re/ ---e/ -ey---/ re----/ ---/ t--e/ --/ t-----t/ --/ me/; ----e/ -'m/ -e-t/, t-e/ --st/ --/ ---/ -r-m/ -e-t-ert--/ t-/ t-e/ se-/."

You're right about the poetry!

Estelyn Telcontar 11-15-2006 03:24 AM

Let's have an A then, just to be sure I see the sea...

Guinevere 11-15-2006 02:32 PM

A MYSTER(Y)

"My/ ----/ are/ ---e/ -ey---/ re-a--/ a--/ ta-e/ --/ t-----t/ --/ me/; a---e/ -'m/ -e-t/, t-e/ -ast/ --/ a--/ -r-m/ -eat-ert--/ t-/ t-e/ sea/."

I guess this will give you enough hints now...

Estelyn Telcontar 11-15-2006 02:56 PM

You'd think that would be enough, but I can't find it. Oh well, let's have another letter...

O, please.
