The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 17th August 2015

Is it Alex Song?

Dr Ross Gellar has a son named Ben

He dresses up as the Holliday Armadillo

Armadillo > Armadildo > Imadildo

The clue is therefore, I'm a dildo

Quite right, the answer is you're a dildo!

Oh yeah, I hadn't thought of it like that

Thanks Trix

All I've learnt so far (as I'm crap at cryptics) is that the name Fazio is a mutation of the name Bonifacio which comes from the latin 'Facere', which is part of our motto meaning 'to do'. So I've at least learnt something.

I think @topper's answer was brill though.

My interpretation of his thinking:
"Poor old Benjamin, I keep calling him but he just doesn't hear me"

Sad-old Ben-I-hear-no?

In meeting all morning but yes, exactly my line of thought!

Did someone mention fish?

I've been sitting with a guy all week who works part time in the QPR youth set up. Reckons that Austin has been in talks with us for weeks. I said I highly doubt that, offered me a 100 euro bet on it. Whether he comes or not is a different matter, but he said we'd had extended conversations. Is this the wrong thread?

Interesting - Sounds like he's our back-up plan in case SB falls through.

Coming late into this but why on Earth would we need a cryptic if the answer was Berahino? It's hardly like we have to downplay our interest in him considering it's widely acknowledged he's been one of our top targets all summer.

Keeping the post talking about ITK, makes the moderating easier etc etc

 

[sloth]

Probably already solved, but somehow it'll work out to be saido for Townsend + cash. Though, tbh, I doubt very much that AT would go.

Yes, it feels like a massive pacifier has been shoved in our collective mouth while the Mods and ITK's fool around in the other room with the milkman.

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Have we done: Poor Old Ben - Scottish band?

 

[King of the Lane]

The thing I love most about cryptic ITK is that we seem to be able to take any sentence and make it relate to any player we want it to be

It doesn't matter what the clue actually is, someone on here will go to page 45 of google, find a little Romanian website that mentions the name Ben or a Doctor and somehow make the most tenuous link ever and offer that up as an answer

*Goes straight to page 45 of google*

Because it's a lot of fun and mentally stimulating. And who said the answer was Berahino? The game's still on.

Thanks to Trix for bringing something different to the thread today. And thanks to A&C for promising more.

[SpursTillIDie1882]

Shit, has the 14 day cooling off period finished yet? I think we can prove they have used him and so they cannot send him back in the original packaging.

Must admit then that the Ben and the hearing problems kind of adds up I suppose...

 

[nailsy]

So the first bit seems to be "Sad-old Ben-I-hear-no?" so it's obviously about SB

One of the first results when you search on Google for Dr Ross is Dr Ross Greene. Green = money. Are you saying that we've upped our offer for Berahino and agreed a fee (fixed him up)?

 

[woodward]

obama and benayahu (spelling)
the formrr has been calling the other, headline news, but not sure which one we are signing.
