My fault entirely. I had a hand and it had a mouth... *airy wave* ... these things happen...
It also had a condition *screw eyebrows into centre of face to aid memory recall* EquinesMaladiPiss I think it was called. Oh look! It's right!! :) Results in ALiquidMessieSnap or ten. It's a bit like rabies but non fatal (YAY!!) ...and the symptomatic foamings are very similar *blink to process suitability of upcoming word* ...except the orifice from which they emanate from is at the rear. Yes people... step back... or do an anniet and take on the front end.
Speaking of horses... I suppose you might have jumbled up the follically blessed (we're talking all down either side of her body from armpit to ankle people) Queenmilipidasass. Believed to be the inspiration for the car wash. Virtually forgotten leader of the Qiidilessepausman cave people of lower Tyneside. Legend tells us that she too went around like Lady Godiva - except she did so on a braying donkey during a full moon... whilst doing with her arms akimbo what Michael Jackson later did with his legs... erm... aflooro.

*Gaze in triumph at what has just been done to the English language and... walk a Ministry of Funny Walks walk to the thread exit* so... my turn again then :) off to find a new word to jumble... :)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Ah, no. And no and no as well. Oh, by the way, also no, no, and no.
+6 for being entertaining, though.
Anyone else care to give it a shot? (Not that I think anyone can live up to Annie for being entertaining.* **)

He is going to say that he had really no idea of the solution on that one.
Mike: "I had really no idea of the solution on that one."
See ? Mike did say that .... :-)
Congrats David ! :-0
As for the new clue, what can I say : it's going to be one of those 'q' next to 'u' trials. You know there is this ancient and mystic herb called 'Scrabble Bane' that was administered, in Mayan times by the Lord QuizMaster of Slaughter Quetzoverquota, to those who couldn't properly use the triple word score with 'qu'. The effect was either kill or cure ie. survivors definitely got it right.
FWIW : the wallaby found the phone. It was where he put it. It took a while to find because he was having a man's look.
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) I've had a good day at the orifice. I am so far ahead of myself today that I have even managed to prepare some diagnoses in advance for next week's patients ...

AlienSquidImpasse'e - Why Earth is unlikely to EVER be visited by aliens again...
According to information leaked to the anniet online whistleblowing newsfeed, G7 leaders (who have long believed themselves to be the only candidates worthy of greeting a superior off-world species) were presented with one towards the end of last year, and opted to start the interplanetary diplomacy proceedings with a handshaking photo opportunity... prior to piling into their usual feeding frenzy at the trough of course.
The precise details are uncertain, but according to intercepted emails and recorded telephone conversations since, something went very wrong.
Here is a partial transcript of a 7-way conference call that followed soon after:
Quote:
"But I thought it WAS a tentacle!"
"I know!
"Me too!"
EquipsMedianLassi - Ancient Scottish method of selecting a wife
SequinedMapSaiils - very pretty wind catching devices that have been made delightfully blinky and twinkly, with earthy information on to help you find your way around when you're floating about on a lot of wet stuff. Recent incidences involving birds with a penchant for shiny objects has resulted in the manufacturers suggesting they be used only in the bath... with windows closed. Could be adapted for use as a showeveryone curtain - sorry that should read shower curtain.
There... *use strained smile to drain spinach because multi taking is good* :)= you're going to say no again aren't you... :{=
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

For some reason, this reminded me of the DS9 where Sisko built an ancient Bajoran solar sailing ship (adding only a gravity web because weightlessness makes him queasy) and sailed with Jake to Cardassia.

Why should I? You just did.
Okay, I confess. I looked at some of these guesses and wondered where some of the letters came from, because they didn't fit with the word I thought I scrambled. Then I remembered it has a suffix that uses the letters in doubt.

A doubtful letter suffix. Well that has enthused me out of my torpor ..... pass me the paper squares Jeeves .....

Didn't you know ? You just get whatever diagnosis is sitting on top of the filofax. It's not related to your symptoms or anything like that. Sometimes we examine people to give the impression - and it works - that we are, well, cogitating. Old habits die hard though. One of my colleagues still smiles and greets his patients like they were human beings. Faker.
Cheers, Mike.
