These are all unusual representations of words, phrases or things. Can you figure them out? One posted answer per person, please.





The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

4. Time without end, or perhaps time slips away, or even since the beginning of time, or just time out? smile

(No-one rang me either, but I played hookey and had a peek while still at work - stunned to find I was first, as I am usually too late! lol )

Pretty sure, Cheryl got it this "time"

Hey, can I get in on the phone chain, too? I'm always too
late for these. Who's in charge here anyway? think

Sherlock got it with "tee-off time". bravo

Isn't there a way to be notified by email when a specific user posts? What happens when you add someone to your "Watched User" list?
