Will you be able to id an avatar or alias on the forum if its hidden in riddle, rhyme or limerick?
Clues can be presented in any way as long as it is kept forum friendly and fun indicate whether you have an alias or avatar in mind.
Alias >> who am I?
I'm not a beggar,
wearing diamonds and gold....
you won't find me outside,
left alone in the cold ....
A castle's my dwelling
about me stories are told ...
I'm the first in line to succeed
the frail and the old.

Re: The Guessing Game
Next one
Avatar >> Who am I?
Let me tell you my dear friend
I am absolutely stunned ....
that by most your fair maidens
I am instantly shunned
Under the cover of darkness
my countenance concealed ...
so why the abruptness
when my true nature's revealed

Re: The Guessing Game
Another easy one ...
Avatar>> Who am I?
When they really don't think so
they tell you I can fly...
What they do not consider
is that I just might go by
I change with every occasion
but I will always remain...
in my favourite location
through wind, storm and rain

Re: The Guessing Game
Nice thread/quiz Spotted Cat
Here's one ...but I'm not sure how to copy and paste an avvie
BTW avatar is an Indian word for a re-incarnation
I'm a morning person
from the other half
But at my English
you better not laugh!
And don't you mistake me
for the Spotted one
Coz she' just stationary
And I'm on the run

And don't you mistake me

Coz she' just stationary
And I'm on the run - moving image of a cheetah

Re: The Guessing Game
Sorry guys....with the time difference I left you hanging on this one.....and went to bed.
Ok - with this one
You might think I'm Aussie
but then you'd be so wrong
My penchant for cleanliness
Has made my arms strong
Don't ruffle my feathers
Don't vent your spleen
Or you'll be off to London
To see the queen
Some clues ( as I have tried to be as deceptive as possible - otherwise I'll give it away)
The reference is to the Alias, the avvie - and not just the pic used the info too, and......
No I won't say more now maybe later if no one gets it.
@Jaz. Even if you can't solve every line. Just indicate what made you think of your answer.
Maybe you Saffies may need some dinkydie Aussies to help you with this one.

Re: The Guessing Game
Well done CC (thats Curious Canadian not Cardboard Cutout )
@RustyJusty I almost hit the floor when you pitched in with BGS. Now you see why.
He's Just = y's JUST = JUSTY! (phonetically speaking)
And you are an avid birder and your KZN job's the worm

We're wishing you the best in your new job RJ. Your avvie is an ellie and you are going away. Plus you've sort of moved around JHB, Eastern Cape and Vaal.

Re: The Guessing Game
I'm jumping the gun before I really get stuck into work
I live in the Wildtuin
But Kruger's not my spot
Coz here its cold when its warm
And when its hot it's not
I cashed in my cheques
An threw in the towel
I now have "thick skin"
But my name ends with a false vowel

Appreciate what you have before it becomes what you had.

Re: The Guessing Game
While CC work on her's, here's another one ...
* Avatar *
I know you can't leave me
Just out of the blue
From out of the darkness
Sparkle diamonds, just for you
.... and forever, a slow dance for two...
The crown that I'm wearing
throughout ages my pride
despite dire warning
will eventually slide
.... until then, I'll always slow dance with you ...
