Re: Only Connect clues
Great work, Barnard.
Arbuckle was a red herring for the silent film stars group.
I was very tempted to put Trotteville in the Fatty... group, but that would have made it too easy - though you got it within 4 minutes anyway!
Remaining clues:
Sid. Rain.
Mike. Low.
Word. Jevon.
Storm. Mickey.

Re: Only Connect clues
I can see three kinds of cloud. Rain, Low and Storm.
The fourth must be either Word or Jevon.

Re: Only Connect clues
There are also characters from Only Fools and Horses. Sid, Mike and Mickey. The fourth again must be either Word or Jevon. It’s probably Jevon as that sounds as though it may be a name.

Re: Only Connect clues
All correct, Barnard. Well solved.
A word cloud is a group of words used to signify something, appearing in different sizes - and the bigger and bolder they appear, the more important they are. On quizzes for instance, they'll often be used as clues to describe a particular book or film or something.
And Jevon is a friend of Mickey Pearce and Rodney. He's more confident (and apparently successful) around women than the other two. It's around the time that Cassandra appears, and he's definitely in the Jolly Boys Outing episode.

Re: Only Connect clues
Thanks, Bertie.
I’ll try to think of a wall when I get some ideas but, at the moment, I keep trying to think up cryptic clues.
I must try to come up with some Find-Outers. ‘pomes’ as well.

Re: Only Connect clues
Yeah, same here.
Though I'm struggling at the moment to find the time to think up new walls / poems - and when I do have the free time, I'm in one of those slumps where I'm struggling to think any up!

Re: Only Connect clues
Another of the walls I'm not entirely happy with...
Sound. Helmet. Fool. Drawbridge.
Beret. Chill. Doppler. Greaves.
Amound. Gauntlet. Butterfly. Ruffle.
Ripple. Domino. Couter. Actor.

Re: Only Connect clues
I'm guessing we can have Sound Effect, Doppler Effect, Butterfly Effect, and either Ripple or Domino Effect.

Re: Only Connect clues
Items that can be worn are Helmet, Beret, Gauntlet and Domino. I’m not very sure that is a connection, though.

Re: Only Connect clues
Yes, Courtenay, the '... effect' group is correct. With Ripple as a red herring.
...Effect - Butterfly, Sound, Domino, Doppler.
Items that can be worn is pretty much a connection, Barnard. But I had a specific type of thing in mind and only a couple of your suggestions are in it.
Helmet. Fool. Drawbridge.
Beret. Chill. Greaves.
Amound. Gauntlet. Ruffle.
Ripple. Couter. Actor.

Re: Only Connect clues
How about RASPBERRY preceding Fool, Chill, Ruffle and Ripple?

Re: Only Connect clues
Helmet, Gauntlet, Greaves and Couter are items of armour.

Re: Only Connect clues
Maybe drawBRIDGE, cHILL, aMOUND and acTOR are synonyms.

Re: Only Connect clues
Yes, pretty much all correct. Well done.
The suit of armour group is spot on.
For the Raspberry... group, I went with Beret (Raspberry Beret, a Prince song) with Chill as a red herring.
The synonyms of hill type words at the end is correct, though it's drawbRIDGE (for ridge) to go with cHILL, aMOUND, acTOR.
