Have these all been verified to ensure there is only one valid answer, or are different responses OK?

For most of them, only one association should "spring to mind," but other sensible suggestions will be considered (ie in that they share a letter).

I hope you're all looking forward for the eggceptional final round later today, designed by me.

 

[ainsworth74]

Don't all chime in at once with your exclamations of excitement!

 

[Mojo]

Eggclamations of eggcitement surely?

 

[ainsworth74]

No, just no...

I don't know if I'm looking forward to this or not...!

Either way, another 10 here (#7 is proving tough) and I still have a fighting chance of victory

Is it going to be lots of photos of district, and we have to guess where he is?

 

[Mojo]

The bonus round will be a RailUK Easter Egg hunt.

Actually with a small modification that could have been quite an entertaining round. Guess the RailUK member with bonus points if you can work out where they are

 

[gnolife]

Am I the only one who thinks this was (also) a mickey-take of gnolife?

Also, that #7 was a right bitch. But I found it eventually!

 

[Class172]

Ah yes, I thought you would appreciate number 7.

There seems to have been quite a few that have been aimed at me

We had Rose Hill in the Next Station round, we had Manchester Picc, Baldock and North Sheen in the codes, and a certain station in picture 10 that I'm not going to reveal in case somebody is yet to submit an answer.

I'm half expecting round 7 to have Heald Green, Manchester Airport, Twerp, Inverness, Liverpool Lime Street, Pontefract Baghill, Leeds, Manchester Victoria, Whifflet and Moses Gate as answers

 

[Trainfan344]

Round 7 will be a special round of where's Gnolife?

And can I have a 50 point advantage over Ivo for type effectiveness. That, and the amount of answers that have been intended to pick on me

 

[Trainfan344]

I feel I should be given a 30 point bonus for being the only one (Seemingly) who actually wants to win the DVDs.

 

[Crossover]

Yes; I think I've over-egged the bad jokes

Really, I think you over-egged the eggcitement of this final eggstravaganza :P

 

[ainsworth74]

Right! Next person to make an egg joke gets banned. Permanently!

I've had it with this eggtastic eggstravaganza of egg related humour!
