In reply to A Dave Allen:

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hit it.

OP A Dave Allen 18 Jul 2025
In reply to Hooo:

Well done all (honestly not sarcasm)

Hooo and your

3 little words?...

 Hooo 18 Jul 2025
In reply to A Dave Allen:

you tell me

OP A Dave Allen 18 Jul 2025
In reply to Hooo:

Your quiz now...

 Hooo 18 Jul 2025
In reply to A Dave Allen:

That was my three words! You have to guess what it's from.

 Wainers44 18 Jul 2025
In reply to Hooo:

I put all that into W3W, that doesn't know where/what the f@ck all that means either.

 Hooo 18 Jul 2025
In reply to Wainers44:

I did think about trying to come up with one that was a real w3w place, but it was too much effort 🙂

 Hooo 18 Jul 2025
In reply to Hooo:

Let me know if you need a clue. I think it's a bit tougher than your opener.

OP A Dave Allen 18 Jul 2025
In reply to Hooo:

Whoops, many apologies

No sleep yesterday 

OP A Dave Allen 18 Jul 2025
In reply to Hooo:

> Let me know if you need a clue. I think it's a bit tougher than your opener.

After 24 hours?

 Fraser 18 Jul 2025
In reply to Hooo:

EEAAO.

OP A Dave Allen 19 Jul 2025
In reply to Hooo:

Giz a clue.

Unless Fraser correct?

 Hooo 19 Jul 2025
In reply to A Dave Allen:

It's the end of a line from a song, and if you try and post the whole line UKC will tell you off for using inappropriate language.

 Fraser 20 Jul 2025
In reply to Hooo:

Aah, think i may have it but I've had my guess, so will let someone else take a stab. (Oops, that wasn't a clue there ... was it?!)

Edit: I'm wrong, I just checked and misremembered the lyric, d'oh. As you were!

Edit#2: is it by any chance a line from a multi-artist track?

How about I keep adding words until someone gets it:

I won't do what you tell me.

In reply to Luke90:

Bingo. You win.

 Basemetal 20 Jul 2025
In reply to A Dave Allen:

I thought Mornington Crescent was tough...

OP A Dave Allen 21 Jul 2025
In reply to Luke90:

Your go Luke

OP A Dave Allen 28 Jul 2025
In reply to A Dave Allen:

Luke90 no show?

New one then:

Trisha 

Arthur

Marvin

In reply to Luke90:

That's absolutely brilliant.

 Hooo 28 Jul 2025
In reply to A Dave Allen:

That's easy, but I'm not going to answer because I'm sure no one wants another of my suggestions 🙂

OP A Dave Allen 28 Jul 2025
In reply to Hooo:

Yeah we do.

Just needed jump-start!

 Luke90 28 Jul 2025
In reply to A Dave Allen:

Sorry, was lacking inspiration. Should have thought of something before answering. Just wanted to share the hilarious clip really.

 Hooo 28 Jul 2025
In reply to A Dave Allen:

Yours is Hitch Hikers Guide.

Here's one a bit easier than my last one:

Monument crushed dwarf.

 Hooo 28 Jul 2025
In reply to Luke90:

That clip is a classic. Thanks for sharing.

OP A Dave Allen 28 Jul 2025
In reply to Luke90:

No worries Luke90.

Glad you're back.

OP A Dave Allen 01 Aug 2025
In reply to Hooo:

Struggling somewhat 😫 

 Fraser 01 Aug 2025
In reply to A Dave Allen:

Think 'music' as the theme. It's not a song, but I'm pretty sure that's the theme.

 Hooo 01 Aug 2025
In reply to Fraser:

Yep, that's the one. It's a famous quote from a famous music related film.

 Blue Straggler 01 Aug 2025
In reply to Hooo:

> Yep, that's the one. It's a famous quote from a famous music related film.

It's "(This is) Spinal Tap"

 Blue Straggler 01 Aug 2025
In reply to Blue Straggler:

Knowing that I am right, I give another non-cryptic easy one cos I want to go and watch Lupin III Pt 6 and not monitor this for guesses  

Astronomer homicide Czechia

 Blue Straggler 01 Aug 2025
In reply to Luke90:

Flashbacks to a previous job where the mouthy head software engineer who fancied himself a bit of a stand-your-own-ground self-Unionist, hypocritically got on board when "crisis" hit and stayed late, meekly doing desperate coding to "help keep the business afloat", with RATM playing really quietly through crappy laptop speakers. When it got to that song, I saw him for the utterly pathetic man that he was.

Was it not the other way around though?

In reply to Blue Straggler:

Ah, but that's the order the words appear in the quote 🙂

 'I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down.  I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.'

OP A Dave Allen 02 Aug 2025
In reply to Blue Straggler:

🤦‍♂️

OP A Dave Allen 03 Aug 2025
In reply to Ramblin dave:

Your go now?

 Ramblin dave 03 Aug 2025
In reply to A Dave Allen:

Sorry, yeah, I was waiting for confirmation but I think it was pretty obviously right so on we go.

Hackney, Marylebone, Australia.

This is stretching the rules a bit, but I couldn't think of a better one. If people don't get it after a while then I can be more specific.

OP A Dave Allen 08 Aug 2025
In reply to Ramblin dave:

Be more specific 🙏

 Ramblin dave 08 Aug 2025
In reply to A Dave Allen:

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about that. It's a band rather than a book a film or a song.

 Blue Straggler 09 Aug 2025
In reply to Hooo:

Ah right! 

 Bottom Clinger 13 Aug 2025
In reply to Hooo:

Just to say, I got it straight away.

OP A Dave Allen 13 Aug 2025
In reply to Bottom Clinger:

Then write answer. 

And set another.

 Blue Straggler 13 Aug 2025
In reply to A Dave Allen:

I don't think they were saying that they had got "Hackney, Marylebone, Australia" (band)

 Ramblin dave 14 Aug 2025
In reply to Blue Straggler:

> I don't think they were saying that they had got "Hackney, Marylebone, Australia" (band)

Last shout on that one, in case anyone's interested. For the first two it might help to look at a map. For the third, it might help to look at a Monty Python sketch.
