Saturday Snapshots #415 (Special Guest Post Edition)

Dude, where's my Snapshots!

Here we go with another Excellent Adventure, courtesy of our guest co-host John Medd. Following George's guest spot a fortnight ago, John messaged me...

Hi Rol,

I've been away and missed SS this week. However, I did see that George was guesting.

Should you ever decide to repeat this manoeuvre, I'd be glad if you would consider my offering below. You'll probably take one look at it and go, in true comic book style, "PAH!" and drop it straight in your wastepaper basket. In which case, I'm sorry in advance for having taken up your precious time.

No such response, John. Although because you only suggested ten songs, I had to add a further five of my own.

Be warned, Snapshotters... I think this week's link is rather a fiendish one...


15. The process of transferring certain residents' belongings from Number 15 to Number 9.

14. Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

13. Sounds like some folky minstrels.

12. Am I seeings things correctly?

11. Libertine Marquis.

10. Quiet, please.

9. Leo was in turmoil.

8. Troubled souls. 

7. ...will be...

6. Give him roasted toadstools and a glass of dandelion wine.

5. Toffish ogre... or ogreish toff? Neither, exactly.

4. Sounds like Cow-Cow, Shoo Shoo Morse.

3. Ann burned cow! That's out of order.

2. My boy cracks the Da Vinci Code.

1. Two under par.

Hopefully, none of those clues got on your Wick.

Answers tomorrow morning!

  1. Is the guest post a thing now? Maybe all us regulars should give it a go (with Rol's permission of course)

    1. Think 12 is Genesis. The two on the right look like Mike Rutherford and a hairy Collins

    1. Yes. (Sorry. Just woke up. Thought I was getting a lie in!)

      Delete
  9. Is the link the Change of Seasons - Hazy Shade of Winter, Here Comes The Sun, Mr Blue Sky etc

    ReplyDelete
  10. Is the link to do with Magic - Strange Magic, Magic Dance, Witchy Woman?

    ReplyDelete
  11. I said to Rol that Ernie would have this wrapped up by nine o'clock.

  12. Is it the occult - witches and ghosts and the like? Scary monsters and super creeps as some might call them?

    ReplyDelete
  13. I'm not sure on protocol here, but if you want a clue then I'll see what I can do.

  14. Think about how Joe Brown got to her daughter's gaff.

    2. You're getting warm.

      JM

    3. You're getting there. A specific mode of PT. And then think of one word in the song title.

      JM

      Delete
    4. Go back to Joe Brown.

      JM

    5. Think buses.

    6. I think I'm now more confused than I was before. Real life is calling so I think I will have to admit defeat.

      Delete
    7. I've got to go too. A word in each of the song titles sits after bus. There, I've told you.

      JM

    8. You come here with your fancy snapshots and just as we're getting there you b****r off - I don't know!! (Just joking but it is a fiendish and elusive link today)

      Delete
    9. Ah I get it now, Bus Stop (Sam Brown's song) and other such songs, Bus Journey etc. Will be interested to see what they all are tomorrow. Very fiendish today. Do you do the NYT Connections puzzle? Something they would do.

      Delete
    10. I fear my guest spot days are over, Alyson. No, I don't do the NYT puzzle - would you recommend it?
      Rol will spill the beans tomorrow, but Bowie's for instance was Station to Station; The Eagles/Life in the Fast Lane etc. etc.

      Thanks for indulging me, Rol. I do hope I haven't lost all your readership and that they all come back next week. I shall now get my coat.

    11. It was fine John just really tricky. Please come back with more. Better than putting lots of effort into the kink and it’s guessed by 8.34. Prolongs the fun!

      Delete
    12. I do the Wordle and Connections every day. Connections is a bit like the TV show Only Connect (but easier). It is quite Americanised though so you need to know the difference between your NFL and NBA stars etc. why my maximum run on it is just 5 correct solutions. Gives the brain a workout though and easier than your link today!

  15. No takers for number 3? His 1972 single could unlock this.

    JM

  16. I'm sorry I'm so late - and a fiendish guest post from John too! Came here and thought it would all have been over by 8.35 and yet.... !
    All I can add is that No. 3 is an anagram of Duncan Browne and whose 1972 single was Journey.

    1. Correct! Bus journey! I was hoping that Rol would've gone with Gimme Shelter by the Stones, but also not.
      I shall now scurry off with my tail between my legs. It was nice knowing you all.
