Thanks Geting, you’re very kind.
Enjoying the challenge.

Aargh! You're right Geting - my 2 has just exploded in my face! I can redo it with "revolutionary" but will be a stretch. Also 19 - I meant COCKSCOMB not cockcomb

Thanks Tyke, noted.
It was at the bottom of our reading list, just after the Grantham Yellow Pages.

With many people away, this week's clueless had a relatively limited field but some cracking entries, nonetheless. Thank you all.

I like it when I learn something new so well done Chris 2 and J B Morton. Respect to Amej 7 for the lesser spotted Her Majesty rather than the tired old queen. Geeker 8, Jono 16 and Paul 36 provided various explosive themes and some amusing imagery, while I thought Simplesimon 21 had an exceptionally coherent surface for a supersubbie.

However, with a good length, a nice angle and some cleverly concealed spin, the clue that really bowled me over is Tyke @15

One hoping for a pickup in the bay area

Congratulations Tyke. Enjoy your prizes:

Congrats Tyke, very neat, and thanks Geting. Thanks for the mention.
