[blackfish]

I can not get number 11 either ,would you like to share!!

[coccinelle]

Any letters in there??

[emmie]

absolutely long shot. Volleyball, volley can be a round of gunfire, and that can also be speaks. Perhaps i can look up definition... as said very long shot....

[Mancunian]

Sorry haven't got 11 either

[SOS]

Thanks for all the suggestions. Seems like no-one can get this one. Really frustrating!

[weecalf]

No reason only that it starts with bad Badminton

[SOS]

Yes I've thought of that but can't find any connection with minton, or minting or anything that sounds like it, to speak. ARRGHHH!

[weecalf]

What about coursing sounds like cursing (swearing)

[SOS]

Thought you had it there, Weecalf, but that's only 8 letters and we need 9. :-(

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

Ignore me. I'm a thickie. :))

[weecalf]

oops sorry

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

scrambles?

[SOS]

Thanks, Mojo-jo-jo. I just can't get badminton - what's the connection to speak? :-)

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I can't make that connection either.
I think it might be scrambles.

Clutching at straws but if the letters are wrong an should be 6 rowing if they are not happy throw in oar
