Okay, here we go with yesterday's answers. Still far too many people on full marks. Although I am impressed by your continued awesomeness.

13. STOCKHOLM (home for stock) or BASSETERRE (baster)
14. BELMOPAN (anagram of 'Lamb? Nope. Islamabad totally not an acceptable answer for 7 or 8 reasons I'm afraid)
15. NEW DELHI (A new deli. Terrible joke but, hey, it's Christmas!)
16. BERN/BERNE (burn)
17. BANGKOK (Ban cock. Got that out of the way without a rude clue)
18. BEIJING (The act of making beige)

Well done if you got all of those at home. New questions up shortly.

  2. The allowing of Addis Ababa for question 14 is annoying for us who rightly dismissed Addis Ababa as tenuous and dug deeper.
    There is clearly a difference between those who got it right "Belmopan" and those that stopped thinking when they saw a fictionalised phrase that they justified by it sounding "a bit urban".
    These people must live in an imaginary world where Urban people prefix every word with "A" and respond to an offer of lamb with "A DISS A BABA".
    Go find an "Urban" person and tell him that's how he speaks, I dare you.
    I say if you allow Addis Ababa, Belmopan is worth 2.

  3. If you allow Addis Ababa, then Islamabad should be allowed. At least the answer sounds like a response to the question.

    To be fair, only Belmopan should be allowed. The rest failed.
