"A puzzle for yous all..."

My first is in biscuit but never in cake
My second's in awesome but not in great
My third is in mother but not seen in dad
My fourth is in sunny but never in sad
My fifth is a vowel found in water not creek
My sixth is found only in one day of the week
My seventh's two of three that you learn when you're young
My eighth's not in song but it's there when it's sung
My ninth's in eleven and twelve, not thirteen
My tenth is in island and river, not stream
My eleventh's in precious and secret and paste
My twelfth is in phantom and spectre and haste
My whole stalks the night in a quiet dreamlike state
With no memories the next day of being out late

oops sorry. I've been busy running an agrose gel.

Does the gate have moving parts?
is it jointed in some way?
Is it a physical gate?
Could I touch it?
Is it inside?
Is it outside?
does it have bars
is something kept back by the gate?

I thought you were off to a lecture!!

A wall of death is where a bike drives around very quickly and climbs the sides so driver and bike are paralell with the ground

Is the gate in some kind of cage, keeping a dangerous pet enclosed

C'mon Rosalind - I've run out of gates

Thats better!

Not sure what one of these is!

Really must go to lecture now, but it would be useful if you found out what was happening when the gate opened. That way, it should help you work out what the gate was etc.

Have a think.

Back in an hour!

Hobby?

Is it a gate in a wall of death?

heh, no!

You have the right idea by looking for the 'type' of gate though.

Is it the gate to heaven or hell (sorry but I'm running out of gate ideas)

Heh, we are busy today!

*trundles off to lecture*

Back in an hour!

I guess it does kinda matter. Accident would be the best way to describe it.
