Question Author
Thanks Beatrice...I thought of this, but was not sure!
28) could this be chortle?
17) Terror?
12. Microwave?
Question Author
Thanks, Slaney and Beatrice! I think "shuttle is more appropriate for 28Ac,though!
Yes, shuttle does sound better ;-) Night night :-)
Bea :-)
I've just had a quick look at this crossword online and it's themed with some of the wordplay missing..
so Microwave is correct.
How does shuttle fit? 18 down ends in an 'S'. Please do not take too much attention of Beatrice, Matakari - she gets cryptic questions wrong more often than not. I know it is a sin my saying that but well, just be careful.
Think 27 ) is Rationale ?
Good night and God bless :-) (i)
Love your name Matakari, too :-)
Hugs, Bea
God bless you Cat and sweetdreams :-) ;-)
Angel hugs to you (i) ;-)
Warmest wishes on a cold night, Bea :-)
given the theme (missing birds in the clues) 17 is likely to be R+EGRET.
This means bea is correct on #1, since "shag" is a bird, extremely GoofY = GY.
3 out of 4 wrong by Beatrice35 and people argue against me trying to stop her from answering cryptic questions. Why?

Sorry Matakari.
27 across is intuitive
27. In(tui) t ive
28 (TIT) TERSe ("short short")
Question Author
Many thanks, Slaney Catron and dr b, for the help. My apologies to Beatrice fr "shuttle" which really belongs to 13Ac...Thanks again!
Bless you Matakari ;-) :-) No apologies needed. Try to help where can. Admit not always correct in my educated guesses + not always familiar with the quiz, yet , try my best which is what matters. As long as the poster receives the right answer by the end of the day from whomever it may be then all's well that ends well anyhow. Live with a neurological condition + like the challenge of any type of puzzle- good distraction for me. Fairly new to cryptics admit yet have entered a few competitions + won 1 :-) Will keep being me no matter what anyone here says. It is a free country. Pleased Lie-in-King is now helping you as he is a true genius- very intelligent + very kind = a rare individual ;-)
Ciao, Bea :-)
22. Un(ruff)led
