@BasilParsley oh I see what you mean!
We've always used Hiccup(s) here.
In fact, my DC as a toddler called them "Hippups" so that's actually what we have been saying in the family ever since for the last 10 years.

@SpecialSpaghettini Giving my age away there - my children are in their forties! And STAIR rather than STAIRS doesn't bother me because I would often tell the children to "go and sit on the bottom stair!" when they were naughty.

@BasilParsley 😄40s or tweens - they're still naughty and driving us distracted!
(I'm in the 50s age bracket 😬)

@SpecialSpaghettini you young whippersnapper you!
And yes - they can still drive me to distraction on occasion!

SpecialSpaghettini · 21/12/2025 09:18

"Young whippersnapper" 😂
I'm positively ancient to my DCs.

Hello and welcome @TeamToeBeans nice to have your company.
It's a good game but can be very frustrating!
Settle in and see if you fancy any of the other games on here 🙂

@YiayoulaYes indeed, one ginger, one tortie and one black ❤️

Thank you for the welcome, I didn’t realise at first that there were different games on the opening posts, I’m going to have a look at those now.

That was a nightmare. Started this morning, but gave up and kept dipping in and out as just couldn’t think, and 10 hours later..

@Yiayoula who were you supporting on SCD? I had no favourite for the win this year.
@TeamToeBeans try Hang Five!

@Willow12345 Good on you for persevering! You got there in the end, and I assume your phone is intact? 😄

@SpecialSpaghettini : Lewis and George.
Lewis for his talent and enthusiasm , and George because he’s very local to me, and seems a genuinely lovely person.
Couldn’t warm to Karen or Amber, I’m afraid.

Congrats, everyone, on your scores this morning ! 👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
