RETRO surely!!

It's not healthy how bothered I am Sooozy  Ah what the hell, I'm with you, it is a laughing matter 

I can put you all out of your misery and if Elaine heard 3 syllables as a clue they got it wrong at the radio station as it was

Emmaciated ?????????????? thank god now i can get back to work lol

i still dont think it matches with all the clues to be honest

Ah ... that clears it all up then  

*waits for someone to explain*

i know Rexi haaa

well i spose it can you leave you staggering and speechless but is it all around us ? and isnt 3 syllables although i never heard that clue

anyway thanks for all your guesses everyone

I was never never gonna get that

eh?  who would have thought?

well!!!!!  i'll go to the foot of the stairs.. 

this morning your real name isnt Anne is it

oh I was going to suggest anorexic yesterday but didn't think it fitted many of the clues ..wasn't far off with my thinking tho..

think it was a bit of a set of dodgy clues tho.. don't know how they all fit the answer

That's just rubbish!!!!!! Well at least that all got sorted sooner rather later....I have a plane to catch to Cape Town in 2 weeks and I wasn't looking forward to starting my hols with this whirring around in my head 

I was thinking on those lines too - I don't get it though?

can be vain? all around Us? All a bit flimsy really - could have been anyrthing!

So glad Shizzle came in to let us know  - it would have driven me mad not knowing! 

But now I do know - i'm really none the wiser 

 - I feel the same ..........no ones fault but - what an anti climax! I was reading far too much into it 

On the plus side it did give my brain a bit of a work out 

No it isn't ha ha  Some of the clues just don't fit it..! That is it now, I'm never again listening to the Word. Wrecks my head.! 

totally agree Soozy im mean is it all around us well not were i live ???????????? its on the tv

Yeah, there is that 

how many syllables in emaciated? i was just going to write on their f/book page but thought i better check haa

Elaine we should have know after that 250,000 scam when someone ended up with 5,000 didnt know there would be anyone from round here on this forum

ee - may - see - ay -ted, so 5 syllables

i thought 5 too

Elaine did you defo hear 3 as im going to give out on te f/book page thickos

It doesn't even fit with the sentence. 

Yeah I'm almost sure I heard "3 syllable word" being said.. It doesn't even fit with half the clues anyway, they should have all the clues up on a page and explain how each one fits the sentence.  That's what I think anyway 

Yeah I was surprised when I seen someone else on here looking to know about the word.. I just goggled the sentence and this forum popped up, so at least I wasn't the only one 

Welcome to the forum 

Hello Elaine, nice to meet you and nice to see a newbie here.    Hope you will have fun here. 

Welcome Elaine. 

Now, who do I sue for wasting my thinking time? 

Cheers guys   Never knew this forum existed until 2 days ago!! 

There will be a NEW sentence with missing words to be guessed from Monday on.... Will we post it up& wreck your heads some more LOL  

Oh, WHY do we have to wait til Monday?!  Waaaah *stamps feet*

Because a new competition starts on Monday at 8.10am on the Radio.  So once we hear what the sentence is we will post up  May aswell wreck everyone else's head aswell as my own

OH OK!  thanks Elaine.    Have a nice day, I'm gonna go now...    and once again, nice to meet you!

Rockabilly hairdressers are more for the emaciated fella? Really?!

*disappointed*

Ah well it gave my brain a workout at least!

Nor do I, but I can see why 'undernourished' was heralded as a good guess. They are very similar in meaning.

But why was the clue 'This kind of MAN...? Any emaciated person surely, not just men!

In my book it fits to exactly the same extent as Undernourished and doesn't fit the same bits as Undernourished too, even if you leave out the matching of syllables bit. (See my post on previous page)

Agree Katerina, I don't think it fits all the clues too well.

Kidnap?

Torture?

I'm thinking.............

If the person is a hostage, doesn't that mean they've already been kidnapped?

They might have wanted to kidnap him/her back 

Back to thinking............

Ransom?

This better make sense after the last one Roxan, I have an old brain on a young body 

Back to thinking............

In the same way emaciated was....or exclusively?
