The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 13th July 2015

[Kiedis]

People solving unexisting cryptics are making me more retarded by the day. And I wasn't well off to start With

 

[sickboy_se]

Simply to be able to sleep well again - need to put my guess out there.
Big cabbage - Schweinsteiger, Small cabbage - Kramer.
Apologies if it's already been dismissed, difficult to keep up with them all...

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

I thought the Holly reference was the last line in Red Dwarf....

 

[sam1972]

Graham Green wrote the screenplay. Signing Julian Green from Bayern.

Next cryptic please.

Orson Wells wrote that part of the script

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I'll dip in later to see whether any of this makes sense. Unsolvable cryptics seem to rule. Possibly there should be a dedicated thread?

Except that 'cabbage' has been solved.

They're all signed, Dan. Dan, they're all signed.

Where? Gimme the solution!

Good morning everyone!

Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. You know what the fellow said – in Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly.​

In the film, this speech was made in Vienna, Austria.

That's as much as I can be bothered with.

And me. I wouldn't read too much into the OP.

It's the "so long, Holly" bit which worries me...

1001 answers with 100 plus different combinations of each. Not seen anywhere the solution verified. I've seen at least 5 people stating that 'the answer is' etc and they're all different. I've even seen JJ basically say no to one of these. If the unsolvable cryptic has been solved then great - no more friggin' guesses.....let's go back to fish puns?

When did that happen?

 

[coypu]

I took it as goodbye to Schneiderlin. Holly went to visit Harry Limes (main character) who had offered him a job. By the time Holly got there Harry Limes was dead, so no job. Thinking too hard disagrees with me

Why would you expect to see the solution verified when its been said at least 20 times that we won't be giving the solution until the source says its OK?

When did that happen?

Sometime after the cryptic was first posted. What do you expect me to say?

I expect you to say "it was Messi and Bartra but we don't need a CB anymore though and cabbage 2 looks likely".

To stop the regurgitation of solutions? Quick, when did this one start again - let's revisit every guess and rename them all. Bloody hell, it's only 3.5 weeks to the beginning of the season. Maybe we should play in green for the first match? Is it a lack of anything else juicy to discuss atm?

 

[Japhet]

Kramer first choice. McCarthy second.

 

[southernspur9]

I get the feeling that a lot of people are going to be incredibly underwhelmed when the cabbage solution comes out.

It's already come out
