New Variation on Shelledpea's Game

[stanandmaydupp, doncaster]

Select any two words from the top post of any of the (currently56) pages.Eg. The top 2 words at the top of page3 are Bee-Keeper.See how many changes you can use to get back to the original 2 words i.e.Cruise Ticket.Lowest number wins. I'm useless but here goes...
bee- keeper
wicket -keeper
sticky- wicket
sticky -hands
hands-down
down-below
below- deck
deck-hand
ships-deck
cruise-ships
cruise ticket..Bingo That's 10 attempts...beat that!!
All you need to do is state which page(top post only) ,put your entry up and wait for it to get bettered.No free dinners from Stan and May for this one..only the glory I'm afraid .Stan

Hi Stan, if you don't congratulate me on my win soon, I really will believe your comments on the North/South divide are not just a 'wind-up';)

Still awaiting my 60 seconds of glory!! :D ?
