Hint: 'Colours' Is Not A Group.

(EDIT: There was another Only Connect wall puzzle here, but as it has now been completed I've popped it under a cut.)



Following yesterday's Only Connect wall experiment, I have made a second wall, this one to be subtitled 'BECAUSE RIONA IS A MASSIVE GIT'. Basically, yesterday's game was fun but didn't last very long, so I sat down afterwards and thought to myself 'what's the most obnoxious thing I could possibly do with an Only Connect wall?'

Here is my conclusion:


White, Silver, Rose, Red
Scarlett, Fuchsia, Orange, Yellow
Green, Sapphire, Blue, Indigo
Plum, Violet, Lavender, Black

As before: there are four groups of four words in here, all mixed up together. The words in each group are held together by a connection. Your aim is to untangle the four groups and find the connections. For example, the groups from yesterday included Smith, Grant, Pond, Noble (Doctor Who companions) and Chain, Helmet, Shed, Lock (can be preceded by 'bike').

If you give me a list of four words from the centred wall and your guess at their connection, I'll tell you whether you're right or wrong! You're also welcome to think aloud and confer with others in the comments.

dev_chieftain has also created a couple of walls over here, if you'd like to have a crack at those. Please someone have a crack at those; I seem to be the only one trying to work them out, and I'm rubbish at it.

(EDIT: The wall has been solved! Correct guesses:

th_esaurus: Scarlett, Green, Black, Plum - characters in Cluedo
lozenger8, clanwilliam: Rose, Fuchsia, Violet, Lavender - flowers
anewcitylife: Blue, Silver, Sapphire, White - second Pokémon games (i.e. Red and Blue, Gold and Silver, Black and White)
clanwilliam: Red, Orange, Yellow, Indigo - traditional colours of the rainbow)



Trying to think of something to include in this entry so it doesn't consist solely of an obnoxious puzzle, I've just realised that I never linked to Kevin Bridges' Would I Lie to You? horse story! In fact, have a handful of my favourite claims.

Reginald D. Hunter: The 'D' in my name stands for 'Delicious'.
David Mitchell: I've had to prise open my bedroom door for the last two years, ever since the door handle fell off.
David Mitchell: As a child, I used to play board games against a bucket with a face painted on it. I called this bucket Stephen Tatlock.
Kevin Bridges: I once accidentally bought a horse.

If you've never seen Would I Lie to You?, I would highly encourage checking some of these out. The concept is that a panellist on one team reads out a claim and the other team have to determine whether it's true or false. It makes me laugh aloud more than any other programme.

"The only thing more pathetic than having a bucket as a practice boyfriend is growing emotionally attached to the bucket!"

This is adorable! It would be the most self-aware romantic relationship anyone had ever had with a bucket.

There would need to be a line where Brooker jokes about looking like a bucket with a face drawn on it.

Would Brooker know about Stephen Tatlock? I want David Mitchell to not tell him, and carry on with both of them, and have weird "I'd like to persuade myself that I'm cheating on my boyfriend with a bucket, but as I was dating the bucket first, I seem to be cheating on my boyfriend with a human" angst.

I am actually laughing aloud at this scenario. It would make a hell of a fact for Would I Lie to You?.

Maybe Would I Lie To You is how the whole sordid affair comes to light, because David Mitchell spills the whole story to Rob Brydon while drunk, and Brydon is in a particularly evil mood.
