Hi Juill

17a Let them have it!!

17a Makeup= Put ones face on.

7a Uncouth types+ Baboons

I must admit I'm curious about the explanation for "Let them have it".

[geo0939]

Sorry, Baboon is singular!

[geo0939]

Also your spelling for 7a should be "type's" being possessive and not plural "types". Sorry to get picky but I've just finished my second bottle of Shiraz.

Cheers Geo0939, glad you enjoyed your wine.
