Thank you all. Had asti for 21a.
Hi MosYou Xword 1436 04/05:
4d Iota; 22d Zeta; 21a Fizz; 25a Cartel. You're correct about 8a & 11a.
I'm also stuck at the moment with the 16d, but have the letters m_l_i_a_ so far. Watch this space & if I find out I'll let you know!...maybe you can do the same for me?
It's answered above if you look up Confused.
It is answered by Danny here and by me on the other thread as mulligan!
Hi dannyk13! You're probably right about mulligan for 15d as it fits, but in my dictionary it says mulligan is 'a stew made from leftovers' & nowt about golf!
Thanks anyway!!
Mulligan is 15 down , don't know if that is causing any mix up.
//A mulligan is second chance to perform an action, usually after the first chance went wrong through bad luck or a blunder. Its best-known meaning is in golf whereby a player is informally allowed to replay a stroke (though this is against the formal rules of golf).//
Look what I found!
John A. “Buddy” Mulligan, a locker room attendant in the 1930s at Essex Fells CC, N.J., would finish cleaning the locker room and, if no other members appeared, play a round with assistant professional, Dave O'Connell and a club member, Des Sullivan (later golf editor of The Newark Evening News).

One day, Mulligan’s opening tee shot was bad and he beseeched O'Connell and Sullivan to allow another shot since they “had been practicing all morning,” and he had not. After the round, Mulligan proudly exclaimed to the members in his locker room for months how he received an extra shot.

The members loved it and soon began giving themselves “Mulligans” in honor of Buddy Mulligan. Sullivan began using the term in his golf pieces in The Newark Evening News. NBC’s “Today Show” ran the story in 2005.
Nice, well found.
