[HMS Ark Royal]

Should I give him time to log on and check this thread before answering?

Nah...

 

[DaleCooper]

Cadoxton? ps are we allowed smileys still or are they emojii too?

Open floor if correct

Cadoxton is correct, it looks like you solved it before the intended target even got to see it.

beermaddavep says "Open floor".

 

[cadoxton]

I was thinking that it could be a Wii you were thinking of and it does have some games such as tennis

didn't actually realise that Bat & Ball was an actual station name until now

 

[Zamracene749]

Ok, i'll throw another daft one out-

Sounds like a Scotsman has lost his 78rpm collection......

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Ayr?.

 

[Seacook]

Achnashellach, presumably. Open floor if that is the case.

 

[Zamracene749]

Aye, Achnashellach is correct.

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

If its Open Floor...

Where Gods go having dallied with the mortals

 

[Zamracene749]

Chapel en le Frith? Frith was the god of rabbits in Watership down, and if he had dallied he might end up in a chapel..... straws, clutched.....

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

The straws have slipped through your grasp and given you an incorrect answer

 

[DaleCooper]

Dis(s)?

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Nope!

 

[DaleCooper]

If its Open Floor...

Where Gods go having dallied with the mortals

I have a few ideas for this:

Bath Spa (if they don't they should)
Loo(e)
Christs Hospital

and is there a station called "STD Clinic"?

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Bath Spa (if they don't they should)

No

Loo(e)

Nope

Christs Hospital

Nope

and is there a station called "STD Clinic"?

Nope

I'll give a clue later on

 

[backontrack]

Traken Central?

 

[DaleCooper]

Birmingham New Street? (convenient for Paradise Circus)

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Birmingham New Street? (convenient for Paradise Circus)

Nope...

Clue: To HMG, this place used to be called Burlington

 

[Zamracene749]

Kensington Olympia? Olympus, home of the Greek gods?

 

[DaleCooper]

Burlington was the Central Government War Headquarters at Corsham but I don't know where that gets us.

 

[Zamracene749]

Burlington was the Central Government War Headquarters at Corsham but I don't know where that gets us.

Also an old name for Bridlington according to the mighty interweb, but I cannot see the link?

 

[DaleCooper]

Maybe it's something to do with Burlington Bertie from Bow - Bow Road tube station (this is getting silly).

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Kensington Olympia? Olympus, home of the Greek gods?

Indeed so...

"Having dallied with the mortals, the Gods return to Olympus and so I shall follow"

Your floor, sir

 

[DaleCooper]

The gods didn't return to Polynesian King Tom in disarray.

Kensington Olympia was not known as Burlington it was a collection point for staff travelling to Burlington (Central Government War Headquarters)

 

[Zamracene749]

Well, I learn't something I didn't know about Corsham at least

Ok here goes-

Oriental boiled sugars and spice

 

[Springs Branch]

Maidstone East ?

 

[DaleCooper]

I've no idea really, the only thing I can come up with is Bristol Temple Meads.

 

[Zamracene749]

Not Maidstone or Bristol, I'll give you East for the oriental bit...

Ok, look at my username for inspiration around the sugar bit....

 

[DaleCooper]

East India?

 

[Zamracene749]

East India?

No, not East India....I see where you came from though with IPa. The spice bit is Indian, if that helps.....
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Seems I've posted a bit of a tough one-OK, it was East Worthing!

East for Oriental, wort is boiled sugar solution- part of the beer making process, and hing is a curry spice, also known as aseofetida......

open floor to get it going again

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

Open floor...?
