Another word game - twenty questions

After yesterday's Twenty Hints on one of the threads, I was reminded of that old favourite Twenty Questions.
Rules reminders:-
Someone thinks of something/someone and posts a very minimal clue - just the category (person, film title, object or whatever)
Others post questions, to which the answer can only be "Yes" or "No" or guesses of who/what they are thinking of.
Questions are limited to twenty.
If someone guesses correctly within the twenty, they choose the next subject, or nominate someone else to do so.
If not, the answer is given and another subject chosen, either by whoever posted the unguessed one or by someone else who has been nominated.

I'll start it off - A person.

No not a newspaper
3 to go

one last clue -- what could I have been doing between roughly those times and everyone has one.

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 16:52:46

My mind is boggling blush

NannaM Sun 30-Oct-16 16:54:56

So few questions left. But I think it's a crossword puzzle

Wobblybits Sun 30-Oct-16 16:56:39

Ana has it ---- Birth Certificate

We were watching Heir Hunters on TV when the game started. hence I was multi tasking.

Everyone has one
It's a piece of paper
Our hobby is genealogy
Some people frame and display them
It is small enough to be carried

Well done all, that was a difficult one and you homed in on the important clues.

NannaM Sun 30-Oct-16 16:57:23

Wow! Well done Ana, just in time too!

Ana Sun 30-Oct-16 16:57:29

A piece of paper which some might put on display but Wobbly doesn't and it isn't a photo or newspaper but everyone has one...confused

Ana Sun 30-Oct-16 16:58:00

Oh sorry, crossed posts there! grin

Ana Sun 30-Oct-16 16:59:17

I'm worn out now - anyone else fancy doing the next one?

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 17:03:46

Yes, well done Ana, there is no doubt that Wobbly nearly got his wish of beating us.

Linsco56 Sun 30-Oct-16 17:05:17

Well done Ana! I would never have got it. Need to make the dinner now. Will pop on later.

Wobblybits Sun 30-Oct-16 17:18:57

I enjoyed that game, the closer it is the better. Looking forward to the next --- Someone

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 17:27:23

You may have to wait a while Wobbly, I think some of us 'poor' women are now slaving away in the kitchen. I don't know about others, but we still have Sunday dinner when possible and tonight is one of the possibles smile. Roast chicken, stuffing balls, roast potatoes etc are on our menu, but the plus is that for the next two days at least I will be able to produce a meal with minimum effort.

Wobblybits Sun 30-Oct-16 18:03:20

LOL, I have just finished washing and clearing up.

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 18:11:39

Oh, my hero. Be still my beating heart wink.

Wobblybits Sun 30-Oct-16 18:20:37

I know how to woo a woman.

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 18:28:36

Enough of this frivolity grin. How about another 20 questions. I'm not good at thinking up clues, but I will give it a go. It's an object, mineral and vegetable (I think). Just hope I stay awake long enough to answer questions.

Is it used in dAily life?

Linsco56 Sun 30-Oct-16 18:33:45

Is it an object you would find in most homes?

Linsco56 Sun 30-Oct-16 18:34:04

X posts ana

Linsco56 Sun 30-Oct-16 18:34:42

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 18:37:35

No, not used in daily life or found in most homes (usually)
19 to go

Wobblybits Sun 30-Oct-16 18:39:33

Is it small enough to be carried

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 18:46:05

Yes, generally

Linsco56 Sun 30-Oct-16 18:48:10

Does it have a practical function?

Bellanonna Sun 30-Oct-16 18:51:10

Is it used or found out if doors?
