28 so far and bed time.

57 and it gets frustrating. Some great puns in there.

On 67, which means I can't go to bed until I get them all.

Some frustratingly colour-based clues...

Dammit, I didn't realise DLR stations counted!

Well that wasted a while.

Got 'em all in the end. Bloody mouse fooled me.

David Martin · « **Reply #8 on:** October 13, 2012, 12:20:57 AM »

mouse or rat? not got that one. Nor the can. Nor the outline of a burning man. At 65 and struggling.

Kathy · « **Reply #9 on:** October 13, 2012, 12:37:15 AM »

Still not got the rodent, but we've got almost all of them.

69/75 and for while now it has been like pulling teeth.

EDIT: 73/75. Not sure I have the capacity to do the last remaining two.

Clue: The species doesn't matter.

Indeed...
I'm struggling with the 4 nuns and whatever the bloke in front of the zebra crossing is carrying.

And, no. I do not want the answers.

Yet.

Thank you

EDIT: How come you did so well?
You're not even from here.

David Martin · « **Reply #13 on:** October 13, 2012, 06:17:37 PM »

damn. Rebooted the laptop and lost it all.. There are some great puns in there.

Will go back and try to finish the others I haven't got.

That one made me want to kill things when I finally got it. Clever and evil in equal parts.

Yes I am.

I'm up to 54 I think. Yesterday I resorted to pulling up a list of tube stations and combing through it, and still only solved two more, with a couple suddenly springing to mind anyway.

I've got the mouse though.

And there was me thinking that you really are from the future. *Disappointed*

69. Still not got the mouse, or the man carrying something

Your concentration on teh mouse is ill-placed.

Jaded · « **Reply #19 on:** October 13, 2012, 08:06:54 PM »

I'm on an iPad, so can't get the mouse at all.

You'd be right cheesed off then..

Yup. I'd tried a different variant.

For some of these I may be reduced to the brute force approach.

Groan. 71
The fish eludes me, as does what looks like a grave with a fountain, and the man with a can watering a single tree in a pot.

Kim · « **Reply #23 on:** October 13, 2012, 09:57:57 PM »

The fish is one of those exception that proves the rule type things.

As for the fountain, pay closer attention to the ceramic work...

Am at 60 and now am properly stuck.

I got one by accident and still don't really get why the answer was the answer.....
