Hi! Is anybody solving the Monster Colossus No.69 right now! I'm stuck on a few clues, which are; 61a: Poorest - GEG?I?ST; 107d: Experiences - PE???; 108d: Tap - PA???T; and 133a: Thorny berry plant - ?????BERRY, (that could be anything)! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

108d Faucet ? Not doing this only an idea

[chelle7272]

61 neediest - if you have some letters wrong?
For thorny plant I'd go with blackberry

[treetops1]

I thought Gooseberry was more thorny.?

[Touchstone]

107d) Could be feels if the P is wrong?

[treetops1]

107d. Feels ?

[chelle7272]

treetops hadn't thought of gooseberry to be honest, you could be right there

I hope Paula comes back and tells us.

Thank you to treetops1, chelle7272 and Touchstone. I now have the top half of the page solved. Faucet was right, it helped me get 107d to Feels, 133a IS Blackberry, (I thought it was), I've now got 107a right; Fife instead of Pipe, (military flute), not known that before. Thanks, Neediest is right too, so I now have 5d right; Vibration, and 20d; Abrasive. I had both ending in 'ing.' Twit!
I am also doing Colossus Crosswords No.224 and Mega 8, if you need any help.
