I think you get used to they way they word the clues - plus I've got a bent brain! LOL Tell you what - me and you will have to collaborate and you can tell you friend you've finished! LOL - I get the paper delivered about 7am - if it goes like today - you could have the answers by quarter past! LOL....That's not cheating is it?

Your granny might have used this together with a 'mushroom' it's an anagram

♫Jilly McMad♫

♫Jilly McMad♫ Report 27 Jul 2005 17:24

OH!!! lol i was trying to fit broke and drain into an anagram ....doh!!! pmsl got it now babe thanks.....lolol

♫Jilly McMad♫ Report 27 Jul 2005 17:31

does 14 down start off with root?

Mags

Mags Report 27 Jul 2005 17:31

Nice try! LOL - Tip: If you think it's an anagram count the number of letters in the words in the clue and sometimes you can work out which words it is they have used just by getting the right number....if you get what I mean! LOL

Mags

Mags Report 27 Jul 2005 17:32

Yes is does....then think of the 'timely sound' (roots anagram of torso)

♫Jilly McMad♫ Report 27 Jul 2005 17:36
