Malone and SimpleSimon
I have amended the preamble to say "answers to clues" and have added the sentence "Do not ask for answers to the theme, only gentle hints for that are to be given in the Gentle Hints thread"
I hope this covers everything, if not it will have to wait until tomorrow, I'm signing out now, Good Night
Edit - SimpleSimon, football results. Derby, dead and buried on minus points, beat league leaders Bournemouth and drew with 2nd in the table, Fulham. In one week, they've clawed back 2 of the 18 points they are adrift,
