From a Man Called Lentil:

space manoeuvre manoeuvre manoeuvre manoeuvre: "Space for manoeuvres."

From modthree:

YO: "Missing you," perhaps?

MO or MN: Hmm. "The letter to the right of M"? Or, maybe "writing a letter to him"?

Spring, Lunch, Space: Err..."Saving space after lunch"?

Here's a few; all but the last should be fairly easy:

FX...

SGEG

FoutIELD FIELD

AMOUS

LINGS
LOYAL

I M _ _ _ _ _ _ A L

You got it!

quote:MO or MN: Hmm. "The letter to the right of M"? Or, maybe "writing a letter to him"?

Not even close!

quote:Spring, Lunch, Space: Err..."Saving space after lunch"?

Er...no, but it is a really awkward one. It could perhaps be written:
Spring...
Lunch...
Space...

quote:FoutIELD FIELD

Out in left field.

quote:AMOUS

Almost Famous

quote:LINGS
LOYAL

Loyal underlings.

Mr. Egypt, you have it! Go dance with Persephone for a while. Traz... close enough, it was supposed to be 'room for manouevre', but you got the idee. I don't think my puzzle would necessarily have led to that specific phrase anyway.

SGEG: Scrambled eggs!
FX...: after-effects?

Traz

01:48 / 19.03.02

MO or MN: I think I've got it, this time..."half moon"?

Spring...
Lunch...
Space...: Aha! "Time"!

modthree and a Man Called Lentil: Right on all counts. If my own guesses were correct, I think that just leaves a single puzzle unsolved on the entire thread:

I M _ _ _ _ _ _ A L

Yes, half moon it is! The second one is close, but not quite what I was looking for...try again?

We also have, aside from your puzzle, these two:

#1
Speech: "A, B, C, D, E,..."
Thought: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5,..."

#2
UU

{0, 1, 2}

Spring...
Lunch...
Space...: Shoot. The search for the perfect suffix continues. "Chicken"? "Eon"? "Box"? "Craft"? Hey...how about "out"? Do people still "eat lunch out" or do they "eat out for lunch"?

Speech: "A, B, C, D, E,..."
Thought: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5,...": "Talking over the numbers," maybe?

UU: That could be anything! "You two," "You too," "To you," "W," "You and you alone," "Beside you," or "Next to you." But I suspect it's something else...

Lentil is right, but modthree is not so wrong.

With regards to the first, now you seem to be getting cold again. The second one, well, I guess you've got a point. Your last two cracks are pretty close. Here's a clue: a song by a band named after a trade.

Here's a few new:

#1
US US

#2
O[]U[]T

#3
T and T

The two of us? Will give the rest some more thought once I've got the day job stuff out of the way.

I guess it could be, but not what I was thinking. It maybe could look like this:

US[]US

nothing comes between us.

Was that my guess, or was I expressing the spirit of love that exists on this board?
