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.

br0adwater, there are metal particles that make the sparks and I only said that the object had a loose connection to effigies (as in Guy Fawkes), but maybe I was too obscure, sorry.

No you didn't go wrong, it was they way I was interpenetrating the clues. Good game.

Bellanonna Sun 30-Oct-16 19:39:45

Fair enough they're connected with an effigy

Oh! Well done WB.

This is a good thread.

Bellanonna Sun 30-Oct-16 19:39:14

Well done WB

br0adwater Sun 30-Oct-16 19:38:46

Like an effigy?

br0adwater Sun 30-Oct-16 19:38:18

Includes metal?

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 19:37:29

YES, you got it, but where did I go wrong with the clues?

Wobblybits Sun 30-Oct-16 19:35:14

Not sure it fits the clues, but I'll try fireworks

Bellanonna Sun 30-Oct-16 19:34:12

Do you often hear that wobbly???

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 19:33:12

Oh Wobbly - you are so hot - 4 to go

Wobblybits Sun 30-Oct-16 19:31:56

Bonfire

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 19:31:38

No Wobbly, but SO close - 5 to go

Bellanonna Sun 30-Oct-16 19:31:09

Oh that must be it. !

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 19:31:03

Bella, when I said not a plaything I did specify not for children to play with, doesn't mean it's practical!! Trying to give clues here.

Wobblybits Sun 30-Oct-16 19:29:45

Guy fawkes

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 19:29:14

Not a scarecrow, but this object has a loose connection to effigies. That's a good clue - 6 to go

br0adwater Sun 30-Oct-16 19:29:12

Can't be a scarecrow as it's of no practical use

Bellanonna Sun 30-Oct-16 19:26:22

Think you said can be in the garden, but not necessarily. Just thinking aloud. Mmmm

Wobblybits Sun 30-Oct-16 19:25:34

Scarecrow

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 19:23:33

Linsco - am laughing so much can't type, good guess, but no - 7 to go

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 19:22:37

Wobbly - yes some of the minerals may be metallic - 8 to go

Linsco56 Sun 30-Oct-16 19:22:24

Is it a garden gnome?

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 19:20:57

Bella not a plaything as such (ie not for children to play with) - 9 to go

shandi6570 Sun 30-Oct-16 19:19:42

Linsco,yes normally - 10 to go
