or is it "or"?

AARG!
Nick Em got it!!!

It's... the first letter of the alphabet as a whole word, that I cannot say.
Now it's his turn to pick a word.

OK. I've got it. Clue: It's NOT in this posting. Good luck!

(If it's too hard to get I'll post more clues)

I?

No, Keep trying...

so to start with i guess i should write a long sentence just to see if the word you are thinking of is in there or should i just go on a rant about my favourite subject at the moment which is obviously the football world cup

Of course, the longer the sentence, the more chance of guessing correctly!

gosh that means that one should also try to vary the types of things one attempts to put in my phrase so we could be here quite a long time and on the other hand the more i compose than the greater the list of words will be that we are required to guess from leaving me in such a dilemmna as to wether or not to post this or erase it and just guess a word!!

Heheh! Got it in one!

I'll give you another clue... I haven't posted it yet

BTW, Mr Em, if he DOES use the word in a post, you have to say "AARG!" and say who did it. So that means he hasn't used it yet. I wonder if I have. Go on or if yes no. Sorry, that was a bit shameless, that random guessing.

Yes, that's true.

Apologies accepted

Clue: You'll need to be more random

I CAN'T THINK OF ANY MORE!

Keep going! Try a stream of consciousness that goes on a bit.

As you enter a town, you will see a sign with the name of the town and a red border around it. As well as telling you the name of the town, this is a speed limit sign. The urban speed limit applies from here on. As you leave the town, there is a corresponding sign with a grey border and the name of the town crossed out. This means that the speed limit has reverted to the national rural limit.

A red circle around something on a sign means it is prohibited. This is used most often for a 'No Passing' sign: two cars side by side with a red circle around them. When you get to the end of the prohibition, you will see the same sign with the item crossed out by a grey bar and surrounded by a grey circle. This usage can be confusing: for example, in a large car park, a picture of a bus in a red circle means that buses are not allowed to park in that section. A black letter P with a red circle around it would mean 'No Parking'!

A yellow diamond on a white diamond sign means 'This is the main road'. Smaller roads entering from the right do not have priority. The converse is the yellow diamond on a white diamond with a diagonal bar 'crossing it out'. This means that this road is no longer the main one and that normal French rules of priority on the right apply.

Traffic Lights

Position of the Lights

Traffic lights do not usually have a light facing you at the far side of the junction. As a result, if you are the first car, you may not be able to see the lights. Some, but not all, lights have a special little set of lights down low on the pole for the first car. It's a good idea always to stop a good distance back from the lights, so that you can see them properly. There often is no line to show you where to stop.

Flashing Amber

A flashing amber signal can mean two different things. If the amber of a normal Red/Amber/Green lights is flashing, it simply means that the traffic lights are not operating – either due to a malfunction or the fact that certain lights are turned off during off-peak hours.

The second meaning is when turning right at certain junctions, a separate, single flashing amber light is often used to indicate that drivers in the right hand lane may proceed 'with caution'.

I borrowed that of a random edited guide hee hee

is the word in that lot?

*faints*

sorry, no, But good idea!

this could take a long time is there any chance of a clue???

This obviously can't be as common a word as you said it is, if it has not come up yet.

Are you sure it has not been used?

No, it has not been used.

The clue is...

_______ soccer.

The blank is an adjective.

I will give more clues at a later date if no-one has got it yet
