Sticker?

:)

James Redd and the Blecchs, Thursday, 3 January 2008 14:24 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't get it.

onimo, Thursday, 3 January 2008 14:26 (sixteen years ago) link

you stick needles in things. S = south = a point. Ticker = heart.

ailsa, Thursday, 3 January 2008 14:29 (sixteen years ago) link

(i went with the point/heart thing first, then tried to convince myself that needle and sticker meant the same, hence question mark as I wasn't entirely convinced myself)

ailsa, Thursday, 3 January 2008 14:31 (sixteen years ago) link

I struggle to think of a needle being a sticker. I might have got it if it was 'pin point heart', but probably not.

onimo, Thursday, 3 January 2008 14:32 (sixteen years ago) link

OK, yours is probably a better version of the clue. That usage of sticker is not very common.

Angus. I had to look at a list of scottish names. "G" for game? I don't really hold with arbitrary initialisms. And I get the void, but what about null?
