You could be right but I don't see how it ties in with the clue. I never get the clues anyway till someone like kiap comes and patiently explains them to me.
I'm going to take t as being correct and work from there.

Yeah, I saw that. I was torn between boasting that I already had that one and begging you to stay, because I have been trapped here for an hour trying to figure these out.tabascoboy wrote: Sat Jul 11, 2020 12:26 pm I posted 12A then saw you got in the first reply, doh!

Out of my league, but transfixed by the need to solve at least one, and then one more.

All so good. I’d spent so long trying to figure those out (admittedly in an alcohol-induced haze after the Blues game). You’re a legend, tabasco.
