Hi!Just had to register!! Does it REALLY matter how people ask for help? Us "newbies" dont know the protocol or the nitpicky OCDness of other users yet so.... here goes.... 56a _ _ D_ / C_R_E_T. Thought I'd do it really wrong!! Thanks for reading.
Thank you Trevor, snagged makes much more sense than stabbed and tight sounds good too.
Stabbing was more on my mind last night though after an aggravating dose of the pedants!
Hello Janice, Thanks for your concern, I was VERY frustrated with the pedants last night, just wanted to finish the crossword and sleep soundly! Any real crossword fanatic would understand and not torment!
Hello Magworth, yes I know that and that is why I come here for help, normally it's great but sadly in the dead of night I think the asylum guards must go home!
