I have HAVE/A/_I_E/_O_S_.

HOUSE at the end? I've been looking for something like HAVE A SCREW LOOSE. Maybe TILE LOOSE? (Thought of that as I was typing, but its not a phrase I know).

Frustratingly close I fear, I'm you good guys can help me enjoy my dinner without worrying about this one.

Have A Tile Loose - mad, and also what could happen after a storm.

Tile looks good.
You enjoy your dinner!

I have put tile, but have never heard that expression. Screw loose, yes but not tile.

I can't get 43a.

N?C???E

The female at Orly is able to go round part of the aeroplane. Need putting out of my misery.

Thanks Malone, I know loads of of colloquialisms for MAD (it runs in the family!), but I'd not come across that one, and a Google search didn't reveal anything either. I also have quiteva few loose tiles that need fixing!

But thanks for your answer, much appreciated

nacelle

Is able to go round is NAC - CAN reversed
A female in ROrly (in France) is ELLE
NACELLE is a housing on a plane

female : Elle (French )

nacelle

Nacelle, another word I have never heard of ! thanks all. Now all completed

I should have said that Have A Tile Loose, be a little mad, is in Chambers.
