I'm gone far too tired for this,

I meant the 1st, 3rd and 5th letters are the same in both words, so they don't upset anything in the grids

We'll get there in the end , I promise?

Congrats, GK.
I predicted you would save our honour (post 22).
How appropriate, considering your location.

Ladies of the seraglio, hang on to your bloomers.

Hi Les, what an effort, I'm lost for words (only need about ninety more).
Well done greedy Kite, glad it wasn't up to me to save the day.
Shall miss you Pastille, enjoy your busyness (or should that be business?) no more "kissypoos" to be seen I guess. Pat Steele.......sounds like a "super hero's name, and very fitting it is.

Congratulations, GK - sorry to hear about your fall, but I'm glad that you seem to be on the mend.

Sorry too that you won't be around as much, pastille, but hope to hear from you from time to time.

Thanks les for a superb effort - still only about 3/4 done in total, though!

P.S. There are two answers to (d) you say? And I haven't got either of them? Oh well.......

Thanks to chrise & busby for congrats & wishes.
Syzygy (in case you're still up): don't you think Wild Granny Faye is a Spoonerism, 50 shades & all? Land of unlimited possibilities, indeed (or is she Canadian?)!
Have just got up. Think today I'll have to distract myself (become distracted?) with the new Guardian Genius.Doctor's pills don't seem to be helping much. But then (as they always said in the Goon Show) "It's all in the mind, you know"...............

Chris: Do you have the letters 1,3 & 5 with certainty? The one solution is much easier than the other (fat lot of help that is, I realize, but daren't go any further)!

Well done GK

Guess the seraglio are quaking in their jewelled sandals. NONE OF US HAVE WEB CAMS !!!!!! ;-)) wink

Sorry you won't be around so much p@. Please do look in sometimes. We all need kissypoos!

Sorry to hear about your ribs, GK. When my father broke his, we were charged on pain of immediate death not to tell any jokes or do anything funny. Didn't stop him smoking, though. Since I fell onto the wheelie bin I have stopped wearing toeless shoes or sandals and keep high heels for special occasions. I've hung onto bannisters going downstairs since my mother fell from top to bottom, as well.

Think you made the right decision Les. If there are 2 equally valid answers, there are 2 equally valid answers. I've only done 1 gatekeeper so far. I've answered another but can't place it yet.

Good Morning

Well that's a surprise congratulations GK not only in completing a grid and gatekeepers but for finishing. Hope your ribs improve soon I have heard it is very painful and difficult to get comfy:)

Oh if only Bobsmum hadn't retired to her boudoir early!!! I will have to accept the moral victory - if there are any in a Strumpets Boudoir - not that I am a bad loser :)
