So the swine's been shot on end of road, where messages left (8,5)
I believe the answer is:
bulletin board
'messages left' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'so the swine's been shot on end of road' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'shot' could be 'bullet' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'bullet' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
'road' could be 'rd' (abbreviation) and 'rd' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'where' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bulletin board that I've seen before include "online forum" , "Internet system for sharing information" , "Place to find info" , "Computer forum" , "Notice place" .)
