Not looking for answers, just want to know other people's views who have completed today's Dm is the setter on drugs today ?

21 uncles shop. (What)
19 describing foot. (Again, WHAT)

Only just finished it Shooty....if it's the same setter as last week I think he/she has been working up to this beauty. I think I can parse the two you have mentioned.

Hi Andy. Sorry for the delay as I am at work. I can parse both, its the definitions that evade me. Ps, totally agree, he has been saving this one for an off day. Thought I was doing the Times. Glad it's not just me. : )

uncle def: it's slang

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/uncle

iambus given in Chambers as: a foot of two syllables......... deriv. iambic consisting of two iambuses, of the nature of iambus!!!!!!!

Somewhat abstruse for the Mail. Ha ha

Hi again Andy, Thanks for the info earlier. Would never have got it from the Def. It was Pawns Hop that gave it away. And as for the other, well now I have access to an online Dict. As you have pointed out, I have also got
''3. a metrical foot, line, or stanza of verse consisting of iambs '' from the Dict.

Thanks again for your thoughts.
shooty.
