At Kath's request. This was posted on the other thread, but I don't think people realized it was there.

NEF - GO

TTE - HEB

WEBT - AM

AHOTWITAAHC - JB

FGTST - EB

SAS - JLC

TSHOHEP - SRC

There's a theme here too.

This will be my last post for a couple of weeks, as I'm off on holiday. (Unless I find an internet cafe and can't resist....) Look after yourselves, and have a good time - and I look forward to discussing HP7 with you all when I return.

Heck I hate quizes, the plant is certainly different, it does look like snake, sure is weird, I don't believe any of mine grow like that. Is that the true color of that plant? I sure would like one of those in my collection, that might chase a few rodents away from the garden. It is an amazing plant however. Norma

25. Joe's regular visitor at the bar was Crazy Googenhiem. 17. That "adult" book by Henry Miller was called Tropic of Cancer. (Today,it would hardly rate a PG-13 rating.) Joe's regular visitor at the bar was Crazy Googenhiem. The "Age of Aquarius" was brought into the mainstream in the Broadway musical "Hair". These are the ones I missed. I think these are all late 60s. What fun! brings back lots of memories. Thanks.

Another dog lover here, I want everyone I see! We were at the mall yesterday. On the way out my DH took me into a store that he had been in earlier just to meet the resident dog there. He called her name and she came wiggling and wagging her butt out from behind a counter to greet us. A beautiful white English Bulldog. The largest most sturdily built one I have ever seen. But what a sweetie! If I would have been able to get her on the scooter with me, I would have whisked her out of there when nobody was looking and brought her home with me!

The theme is numbers?

Figured out right away the theme would have something to do
with numbers, but I would never come up any of the ones
named so far, and didn't make any headway with the rest...
sheesh.

Back from my holiday - had a wonderful time, thanks!

All correct so far.

NEF - GO - Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
TTE - HEB
WEBT - AM
AHOTWITAAHC - JB - History of the World etc by Julian Barnes
FGTST - EB - Five go to Smuggler's Top - Enid Blyton
SAS - JLC - Single and Single - John Le Carre
TSHOHEP - SRC
TDH - JDW
TNT - DLS - The Nine Tailors - Dorothy L Sayers
STH - EDB

It is indeed numbers - in fact, one to ten. So we've got 1,4,5,9 and 10 so far.

Any more?

TSHOHEP - SRC - this one is 7...
TDH - JDW - this one is 2...
STH - EDB - and this one is 6...

They are all non-fiction; 6 and 7 are well known management/self-help type books.

Two left....

TDH - JDW - this one is 2...
STH - EDB - and this one is 6...

The first is a book about one of the major scientific discoveries of the twentieth century.

The second isn't difficult if you think laterally...

Just wanted to let you know that.

I'd like to second that - I don't get many answers but I spend lots of time trying to nut them out.
Thanks Martin.
