That's a good guess also, Lena and Harry and Marian, but not what I was thinking. I may have stumped all of you and you'll likely be upset with me! Here's one more clue: EP

Since John retired for the evening, I'm curious whether the clock is your actual time or is it off by an hour as Robert reported this summer?

It is now just a few minutes before midnight.

Sorry for guessing the same one as Harry and Lena-as I said our posts are crossing.

Looks like a rethink is called for .

You all wanted a challenging quiz. :) While you continue to rethink We Don't Talk Anymore, here's an easier one for you to guess during your Full English Breakfast and Elevenses on Tuesday.

Could it be "Put on a Happy Face" Paul, or Jeff? :wink: :wink:

Paul

Is the answer to your clue "We Don't Talk Anymore", "Speak Softly Love"?

Hi Jon---I had considered "Speak Softly Love" as an answer, but in the end , I decided that it was not quite right---but I guess it could be !

Hi Marian and Paul

My other suggestions are "You're Gonna Hear From Me" and "What Can I Say After I Say I'm Sorry?" - basically, any song that suggests talking in the title. You can tell I'm desperate though, can't you?!

"Youre gonna hear from me has been tried"--and its wrong !!

Paul is getting us with this one--I am wondering at the significance of the clue EP--all I can think of is EP as in extended play records .

The clue is "We dont talk anymore"--so it must mean that you or I or he or she does the opposite of talking !! I think !!!

I'd considered Speak Softly Love too, but felt it didn't quite fit.

Sorry Jon and Marian, but it's not Speak Softly Love, You're Gonna Hear From Me, or your other guesses.

I woke up this morning thinking that my opposite title (We Don't Talk Anymore) isn't exactly an opposite. :oops: But Marian from Kent is very close to getting it. So I feel better because she on the right track:

"Paul is getting us with this one--I am wondering at the significance of the clue EP--all I can think of is EP as in extended play records .

"

You are right with both accounts! Here's another obscure clue: it's the favourite Matt Monro song of one of the Fans Reunited attendees.

Meanwhile, you are correct Marian from Reading with Put On A Happy Face. It's now your turn to submit an opposite title.

Also, I wasn't too clear with the rules. Songs may be submitted more than once. So you could submit an opposite of Maria or Walk Away, for instance.

Could "We Don't Talk Anymore" be "Softly as I Leave You" Paul?

No, it's not Softly As I Leave You. I don't know your song Marian. It just reminds me of the country song by Kenny Rogers.

Hi Marian-I think your one is "Strangers in the night".

I will not put in another one until we have guessed Paul's--which I am still trying to do !

You are correct Marian - "Strangers in the Night" it is. Well done!
Your turn... Still stuck on Paul's though.

Marian :wink:
