All done at last – feel completely cheated on the bat one – suffice to say if you think about it at all you’re overthinking it.

The covid sign one is hurting my head

COVID – where did it start, allegedly.

Cheers bri. I was sure id already tried that!

80! 😀
Think I must have tried every variation except batman. Never knew it existed.

Argh, still stuck on the camo saw blade and the envelope… even reading the entire thread several times I can’t work them out!

Envelopes can usually be bought in two different colours.

In what situation would camouflage be useful?

Thanks, all done! I had tried the answer to the envelope ages ago but was spelling it wrong!

Why am I the only one not getting the pizza clue? Is it that obvious?!?

@shermer75 are the pizzas upright, or maybe slightly askew?

Just got the guy-in-the-window one. Would never have got there if he hadn’t popped up in the news recently. 70/80….

Oooohhh myyyy God. I’d tried that so many times, spelling it wrong each time!!! AAAAARRRGGH!!!

Yeah, really worth using Google as a spell checker for some of the names.

So which one we all having a go at next? Did the the tube stations one a few years ago, that was a proper say what you see.

The spring and the dancing ladies have been bugging me for days!

the dancing ladies

do you recognise the image ?

The spring and the dancing ladies have been bugging me for days!

They are both tricky. One is a place you’ve probably not heard of so you need to say what you see. The other needs quite specific art knowledge so can’t really be worked out or guessed

I got the dancing girls by putting in a type of french sausage that I thought were on the otter

Just got the guy-in-the-window one. Would never have got there if he hadn’t popped up in the news recently. 70/80….

and I STILL can’t get this one 🙁

I think a few people got that one by random chance of a wrong answer to another clue.

care to give me a VERY obvious hint? I have no idea who he is.

@simian

Spoiler:

He also sang about Barcelona.

@simian

Spoiler:

his first name is George

I still can’t get the spring one!

Thanks Guys, I have no idea who he is, as music attained perfection in 1996!

Spring;

Spoiler:

say what you see; it’s a ***** ******.

How can the jar of marmalade not be Dundee?

Got it!

Now on 47

How come both Metropolis and Gotham won’t be excepted?

71/80, and looked at the pic of the finished dots and can see the below are my missing 9.
ive read the thread over twice now, looking at the clues to get to where i am, so no need to repeat any.
any more clues please?

gorilla
red hat (EDIT: got it now)
purple ‘free’ sign
woman with pram (EDIT: got it thanks to killer below)
face statue on the building (EDIT: got it now)
the bear
otter (read the earlier clue but can only think of rotterdam which is wrong)
dog in leopardskin (EDIT: got it now. didnt know it was actually a place)
emerald stone

cheers

Woman with pram: parent with salutations

Woman with pram: parent with salutations

took me a while of trying to get past motherwell, but got it now thanks to that clue. cheers.

How come both Metropolis and Gotham won’t be excepted?

Probably because they are wrong. Both are actually real cities although one of yours is better than the right answer

gorilla – he has a name

otter (read the earlier clue but can only think of rotterdam which is wrong) – it’s a little tenuous but there is another. Getting warmer, although maybe better to get colder.

emerald stone – the only fictional city, although I believe it is the nickname of another city in the game

77/80 now, just the 3 left…..

bear
otter
emerald stone

EDIT: typing at the same time 🙂
thanks, got the otter now thanks to that clue, i see what you mean.
and now the emerald too thanks.

just the bear left.

The bear is standing near a can for a reason

Or: A can, a bear, a solution

gaaaaah hahaa, thank you.

all done.

Thank you all for the thread of clues, finally now got 80/80

stuck on loads here, but work is quiet…. What’s the breed of dog – is it relevant?

It is very relevant. Can’t tell you without giving it away. It’s pretty small though, and hard to spell

That dog….

Spoiler:

Pomeranian?
