Hear from Kayakamina or someone else a.s.a.p. Thanks.

it's duro as greens=money

Plus 'o' = ordinary, rud = complexion and lifted = reverse

[crucifernz]

Thanks folks. I'd gone with Duro but couldn't see exactly why.

Kayakamina, I had already completed the Mephisto and had it in the postbox by lunchtime on Sunday, so when I saw this question I was in a good position simply to answer it. I had no idea that it had been asked earlier nor that YOU had already answered it elsewhere.

Hi QM1

The reason I posted the link to my earlier answer, was to suggest to crucifernz that it is worthwhile making a search before posting a question, especially as she is in a different time zone.

Hi Kayakamina
I did do a search on 'Mephisto 2580' first, but it turns out the relevant question was posted as Mephisto2580 (without the space) - which is how I missed it!

Sorry, K...I don't know what came over me! For some reason, I saw your link as a sort of rebuke, almost a suggestion that I'd "copied" from it. The minute I submitted my response, I thought, "What a plonker!" Me, that is, not you, but it was too late. Let's just forget it, eh?
