DIS TORT

[depresion]

Thank you! I had gone wrong on interlocking clues (of course!) All sorted now.

[mikey4444]

Can somebody explain 27a...IMMERSE ? Not sure where duck and tongue come in, and the word doesn't seem to be defined anywhere in the clue.

[glasman]

.1cm = imm
tongue= erse

[glasman]

Also, duck=immerse

[mikey4444]

Of course !...thanks everybody.

It seems that we will have to keep an eye on this Picaroon chap (or chap-ess, of course, before the Sisters get going)

Picaroon?

[mikey4444]

A sort of a pirate apparently !

[dannyk13]

You've lost me Mikey. What is the reference to this thread?

[mikey4444]

Sorry Danny...I thought you had the newspaper today.

Picaroon is the nearly-new Guardian crossword setter. He appears to be somewhat quirky !

[dannyk13]

Thanks Mike.I don't get the Guardian.

[mikey4444]

But you should !

Thanks for the help today.

My paper bill is already £10 per week without adding to it.
