Thanks. I agree that DOE-SUP = DOES UP tallies nicely with the female with drink, but I find that either 'Ruins' by itself or 'Ruins female with drink' both a really weak tally to the 'does up' when compared to the other 30+ clues. Still I guess a setter can't be on top form for filling every light.
