Hi

Great puzzle.

Can I check my last one.

33 Ruth stopping short after getting the shakes


Tremors


Also I thought 30 d was obscure both before and after being drunk.

Thanks in advance

DJA

[kayakamina]

33a T Remors(e) Ruth short

I confirmed 30d by using the check list of letters from the phrase in the preamble

[bibblebub]

33 yes, tremors

[djawhufc]

Thanks I did the same K. I looked it up online after named after the river I suppose?

[bellabee]

no dja, according to chambers from greek for fishing net - the noun is in chambers and as it is 'large' then by deduction 'it' should be a vessel i think.

[djawhufc]

Thanks bellabee.

Great puzzle. I liked the hidden clue- clever how it linked to author,drink and the sea before becoming 'drunk'

[bellabee]

it was 16 that threw me for a while - until i checked it out in chambers.

[djawhufc]

Yes who knew lazy was also a vessel

[bellabee]

you are right dja, never thought to look at the clue again! clever. and as slaney has just mentioned [on the thread].....'juiced rimer...' is a nice touch.
