I have just read forty pages of thread and it’s almost full! Let us congregate here for answers!

*these two threads.

What a load of boswellocks.

BloodyUseless · 06/12/2018 12:38

I don't think for a second the OP or Derek actually thinks the answer is 'there is no answer'. The original post was a massive troll. The whole 'no answer' thing is just one way for some of us who are so invested in this to find closure of some sort. We are just trying to solve a non-existent riddle that we have created from thin air.

Bollocks to Bos, #whamageddon

murmuration · 06/12/2018 13:26

Personally, my favourite is Boscombe Down. That works (although you need to change OP's specification to indicate there is some kind of "up" - approach doesn't work, but it works in the original) and is funny.

"I know him as well" is also good.

And hey, "four short" is good too. I think we got many more good, actually funny and clever answers than whatever the 'can't tell' answer is or may not be.

So I think we can be happy we now have a whole family of Boswell jokes that are jokes and do work.

KittensAndChristmasCake · 06/12/2018 13:27

after 7 days Boswell comes out of your screen and kills you.

I wish he bloody would. Death has got to be better than reading this shite.............

.......and yet I have to keep reading 🥵

BloodyUseless

But I thought you "Got it"

clairethewitch70 · 06/12/2018 13:41

Got that bloody Elaine Paige song going round in my head now "I know him so well"

Waspnest · 06/12/2018 13:55

But has the OP got it? Nowhere in that last post does she say that the friend confirmed that she guessed correctly.

I don't THINK she's a troll, she's posted a lot previously about her wedding but I don't think she expected such a reaction so is now rapidly backing off because she doesn't want to ruin it for her friend's family.

I don't believe all the 'there is no answer' bollocks - are the friend's family all philosophy scholars? I'm sticking with coolwalking's theory, it works in a punny way with those particular words and also works in a smug twattish way (if you respond with that particular line you're in on the joke if you don't, ha ha you're an outsider and you'll never be admitted into our inner circle).

TakemedowntoPotatoCity · 06/12/2018 14:34

The double ll at the end of well might look like post office steps.

And I am still on this fucking thread. Fuck you Boswell.

Soph00 · 06/12/2018 14:47

I think I've got it! (happy to share with people via pm - don't want to ruin the fun!)

LucyMorningStar · 06/12/2018 14:47

I've now read both threads. This has got to be some sort of socio-experiment-fuckery.

thethirdbiscuiteer · 06/12/2018 14:48

Soph00 please LM me!!!! @Soph00

thethirdbiscuiteer · 06/12/2018 14:48

That was supposed to be PM. I couldn't type in my excitement.

LucyMorningStar · 06/12/2018 14:49

@Soph00 nobody on her is having fun. This is just pure rage by this point.

Soph00 · 06/12/2018 14:51

Pm'ed you biscuit

thethirdbiscuiteer · 06/12/2018 14:51

Thank you @Soph00 but unfortunately the for/four theory has been dismissed by the OP Sad

Dairyqueen2 · 06/12/2018 14:52

Soph - if it's anything to do with the punctuation or a pun on 'Well' or 'for' then you haven't. We are angry. Please share or keep away Xmas Angry

IamAporcupine · 06/12/2018 14:53

Thank you @Soph00 but unfortunately the for/four theory has been dismissed by the OP sad

Sorry this made me laugh so much!

yesyesyep · 06/12/2018 14:54

If you think you have it JUST BLOODY SAY. Otherwise you're being as much of a dick as the others are.

Takemedown have you got your phone/laptop on it's side? Grin

I agree, fuck Boswell.

Soph00 · 06/12/2018 14:57

Nooooooooo!!!! Well I'm going to stay in my bubble and believe I've got it Grin

SonOfSaturn · 06/12/2018 15:00

The reason the whole thing is so obviously a joke is that every single person who "gets it" keeps it to themselves.

This is the country that hung a banner over the motorway saying "Dumbledore dies". I have to avoid most of the internet the day after an episode of a popular tv show airs because people here LOVE spoiling things. They can't keep their mouths shut! But suddenly the whole country is united in keeping this pointless little riddle a secret.

Yeah right.

Ha ha Soph 🤥
