**Here is (English) Mystery Sign number 24 - solved by cristalino!


This is a sign I have encountered from my everyday life - fill in the gaps word-for-word with exact spellings as displayed on my "Mystery Sign". The winner will be the first accurate unedited post.


You can post multiple times. However, if, after you've posted, you realise that you've made a spelling error, or changed your mind about a word, re-post the whole answer, don't edit your original post.


And friends - any Spanish in this thread - is being moderated by Heidita


Y aquí amigos mios es el texto distribución del señal misterioso número 24... (And here my friends is the text layout for mystery sign number 24


--e -o

-----h

-e--------s

-- ---s ---

---o--- o-

--e----s

------ing

verendah

--d --e-

----e-# - catorce palabras en total sino la palabra "verendah" :(


Quería decirte amigos - hay dos maneras escribir, en inglés, la duodécima palabra en mi señal (veranda/verandah) - pero "verendah" - ¡No - no - no! Si, es un descuido mis amigos. Por favor, esta vez, ignorad este palabra.

Annie, veranda can be spelled both ways, in case you were wondering... the "ending in -h" is not as common in print though.... :) - cristalino, Jul 17, 2011
Hola cristalino - I know verandah can be spelt "veranda/verandah" but not "verendah" like in my mystery sign :( - nonombre, Jul 17, 2011
One of my pet hates - words spelt incorrectly! - nonombre, Jul 17, 2011
Oh, now I see the error (of my ways as well!)... yes, indeed, a pet peeve of mine too, no pun intended! :) - cristalino, Jul 17, 2011

¡Buen trabajo cristalino - enhorabuena! Quince palabras y todas son correctas. Explicaré muy pronto.. - nonombre, Jul 17, 2011
Jajaja! The only beer gardens I know don't even have a single plant in them. jajajaja I'll never be able to guess that in a million years. jajajaja - Rikko, Jul 18, 2011
Annie, la verdad es que Rikko hizo todo el trabajo al principio... ¡Tuve suerte y Rikko merece la mayor parte del crédito! :) - cristalino, Jul 18, 2011
Do you know Rikko the "beer garden" in local pub has no right to have the word "garden" in it - not a blade of grass to be seen - perhaps it should be called "beer space"! - nonombre, Jul 18, 2011
No problem, cristalino. That's really how it works. I would not have been able to guess it anyway. I don't drink alcohol in the first place. jejejeje - Rikko, Jul 18, 2011
Si cristalino Rikko es un hombre listo y amable de verdad :) - nonombre, Jul 18, 2011
@Rikko, here in the US, they decorate a bar or pub with lots of plants and lattices, and voilà! you have a beer garden...still a tavern if you ask me! ;) - cristalino, Jul 18, 2011
Well, actually maybe here too, but since I am allergic to alcohol, I have no reason to be in such a place. jejeje Next time I have to keep in mind when thinking of answers that Annie is a beer garden regular. jajajajaja - Rikko, Jul 18, 2011
Me a "beer garden" regular? No way! I prefer closets! - nonombre, Jul 18, 2011
Okay guys - gotta go - I need a drink! Coffee that is! - nonombre, Jul 18, 2011
Right Annie, Irish coffee down at the Verendah (sic) Pub! jeje Not really! - cristalino, Jul 18, 2011
Thanks again for the fun, Annie, and thank you cristalino for finishing it already. Now I can have my very late lunch. jejejeje - Rikko, Jul 18, 2011

Yes, I found this sign on the verandah of my local watering-hole. Thanks for joining-in everyone and I'll be back later in the week with another "Mystery Sign". Hasta luego :) - nonombre, Jul 18, 2011
Annie, here in the Original 13, we have a program on the telly called "Wheel of Fortune" and I used to watch it religiously! Same concept... :) - cristalino, Jul 18, 2011
Great groundwork Rikko! I tip my hat to you, sir... enjoy your postponed lunch! :) - cristalino, Jul 18, 2011

Would a guess at the last two words be acceptable, seeing how the rest is already divined?

Step Garden

From the cobblestone steps laid down as a path... oh oh

Of course - very acceptable :) Pero, desgraciadamente tu palabra "step" es inorrecta :( - nonombre, Jul 17, 2011
jejeje, I hope you got it right already cristalino. I'm running out of ideas!. - Rikko, Jul 17, 2011
oops! OK, so that's not it yet. - Rikko, Jul 17, 2011
Y no se olvide cristalino - necesitas escribir las palabras en mi señal misterioso - en total - para tiene exito. - nonombre, Jul 17, 2011
(...to win...) - nonombre, Jul 17, 2011
¿Exito?... I'm not even musically inclined! jeje - cristalino, Jul 18, 2011

¿Mm..quizás las últimas dos palabras en mi señal es como un coloquialismo de Australia? - nonombre, Jul 17, 2011
Don't you see all the beer drinkers staggering around in the garden? jeje... just taking the mick, Annie! - cristalino, Jul 17, 2011
Oh "taking the mick(ey) out of..." - have not heard that phrase for a-g-e-s! - nonombre, Jul 18, 2011
Oh, now I see the foam. I thought that was some sort of flax and a tree cutter or something like that. jajajajaja - Rikko, Jul 18, 2011
