Round eight took only two weeks 
so it’s time for Round Nine.
As Chirpy is still "hiding" I am again re-starting the game as per his earlier instructions.
Just in case you’re new to the forum, let's remind you...
How to play:
All you have to do is post a word, which is somehow connected to the word posted before you - i.e. Tennis – Elbow - Foot. If someone beats you to it you'll have to delete yours and post another. If a person can't understand the connection between the two words they can challenge you - and you or them gets to look silly! 
Just a few points here:
- If your challenge is successful you get to restart the game. (in this thread )
- If the game grinds to a halt because no one has replied to a challenge or because the successful challenger has failed to post a new word, the game can be restarted by anyone after 15 minutes. [/list]
So…let’s begin Round Nine.
The first word is:
