Bollux! BH never makes mistakes, except when I don't check...

 

[Black Hole]

Hmm. "Brambling" is what you do when you go picking blackberries, and I thought "bramling" is the bird - I've seen it spelt like that in some quarters, but I see the Internet supports the other spelling.

I've never seen it spelt like that before and all the birds guides support that. I suggest that even Google has made a spelling error.

It's ridiculous IMHO.

 

[RobH1]

Ridiculous maybe, but if it's on Google, it must be right, right?

 

[Black Hole]

It's the NAME of a specific cocktail. That makes it a proper noun in my book - anybody disagree (except Rob of course)?

 

[prpr]

No, it needs to be in a 'proper' dictionary, and it isn't.

 

[Trev]

Are we now allowed to submit two words so long as they are linked somehow then?

Is that the Bramling defence?

It worked for you! And you didn't put up your new total with the challenge, Trev has moved forward.
