Fao - The K M Players

[seekeerz]

Sorry folks - experiencing the same problems as last week, the Telegraph is still showing yesterdays puzzles :(

 

Twix - if you happen to be around and could do a cut and paste I'd be very grateful. :)

Hi Seekeerz

Think I'll do the same as last week and go to bed...Hope Twix can help you out and Buenchico can solve the clues !

This is getting to be a cozy Friday night clique - lovely

[seekeerz]

Probably a good idea haras - think I'll go get breakfast !!

OK Steff. Just in from the pub. I'll do it when I get up to my desktop pc (I'm using my iPad at the moment, which proves difficult to 'cut and paste' without a mouse! 🙁

Twix - you're a star !!

Upstairs in my office eventually - here they come:

17a. Word, from a term for a member of a priestly caste of ancient Persia with unusual powers, for sorcery, thaumaturgy, witchcraft or wizardry; art of conjuring, illusionism or trickery; or, charm or wonder generally (5)

37a. Any one of the vexillological objects forming bunting or a hoist, or used in Captain Frederick Marryat’s system of maritime signalling (4)

38a. From “coquus”, also the source of “concoct” and “biscuit”, a word for a chef, culinary artist or magirist skilled in baking, preserving, roasting and other methods of food preparation (4)

51d. A bite to eat, dram of drink, drop of rain or other small amount; a pip on a domino; or, a jam, pickle or stew (4)

Witch, Flag, Cook, Umm ?  Any of them correct ?

Using the cross checking clues, I think the answers are:

Magic, Flag, Cook and Spot.

So you were half way there 😄
