Question Author
Thank you Psybbo for prompting Tonyav to replace a three-letter answer, but unfortunately nobody was around at the time to prompt you to replace a non-word of your own. ('mand' is only in my dictionary as a Spenserian form of 'manned'.)
I didn't think my little joke would fool anyone on Friday evening (Comic Relief). I thought the give-away would be that the first post and the follow-up were both timed the same, indicating that the text was pre-prepared. Sorry if you were taken in.
Now for the serious stuff.
Roslyn351254 was back on form again with her instant responses claiming both COUNTER PANE and SAFETY PIN with bonuses = 4 points.
Three minutes later, Aquagility chose NEEDLE MATCH for his two points.
The final link of WORK HOUSE (most of us are too young to remember what that is!) was the destination of Strix at a quarter to three in the afternoon.
Thereafter, a few singles were collected but mention should be made of a second double-hitter, Jobjockey.
Well, with two double-hitters, one of them has to be the hotshot. That honour will therefore go to the player who instinctively read Queen Kay's mind.
