Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
Got that one straight away, not entirely lard in my head!!
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
How long to get this one.
I predict no instantaneous gettings of this. Can the Nightshift get it before the Dayshift logs on
2nd Place again at Chez Falcon....probably about 10 minutes ish.
9 letter word. just report the times of getting rather than the word.
TWH in the middle of a nine letter word please

Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
Bit reluctant to put this one up, dont want to crow about one of my instantantious gets, but the context of the timing was very appropriate. The little puzzles are played on Radio Newcastle every Tuesday and Thursday about 12.10 ish. Usually miss them and go back and dig them up on BBC Sounds. So this was last Tuesday's
8 letter word with the letters RKLO in the middle of it please
Chez Falcon Results
First place: secured by me with what I will call instantaneous or instantaneous enough not to measure,
Last place: took the length of the next song on the radio
and the next song on the radio just to rub it in...
Nobody does it Better by Carly Simon
Appropriate I thought!

Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
If I got that one right then it was less than 5 seconds, if not I have a bacon sandwich to be eating!!

Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
Spot on! That's the one and only word that fits (according to Paul Anthony Jones aka Haggard Hawks the original question setter).

Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
Deoldified
yes probably not in the OED but its odd and caught my attention.
Passed by me unnoticed on the trivia investigation thread as a title piece to this. Even for the youtube averse this little film is worth a couple of minutes, particularly those coming across the RMS Olympic link with The White Swan at Alnwick

Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
Struggled with this one, and was a distant second at Chez Falcon, indeed resorted to a bit of help because I just couldn't see it. Got it after a couple of assists so I call that a DNF
Not much to beat today.
How long to get this ?

Around 3 seconds, may have helped me having treated the MX3 cover to make it thus only a couple of weeks ago!!

Re: "Word/Phrase of the Day"
Well I enjoy doing these but lets see if we can get more than one participant.
Make a 6 letter word from these 7 letters other than the obvious "thrift"
A former Word of the Day indeed. How did you do? (don't report the word you know if you have got it)
