Belated greetings to all. Like everyone else, I found this puzzle a struggle although a somewhat rewarding one.
Can I put in a late request for a pointer to the second word of 2d? I have enjoyed the debate about somnolent cheerleaders and their anti-aircraft armaments, but I cannot get a line on what should follow them and would be glad of a hint if anyone is still watching.
As ever, many thanks for all the advice here and the company
