You've posted TEN separate posts on this one crossword. Do you think it's time you found another hobby? Also you asked this particular question yesterday and were informed that the answer was already there about six posts earlier.

Plus it's also about ten posts down this page. Very difficult not to be 'snide' sometimes.

Indeed... I have answered several of your Q's across the whole of AB also requesting that you post in Q&P ...not just once but several times .....how long does it take to sink in .I don't mind answering but when it is perfectly obvious there is a category for Quizzes and Puzzles then why not post in it for goodness sake !!
And the remarks are not snide ..it just seems that you pay no attention to anyone putting you in the right direction and also take it for granted that you will get an answer and not even bother to acknowledge it.

Oh dear, timks - shaneystar2 is one of the most tolerant, almost saintly, contributors to this site, so please pay attention to what she says...

I wasn't feeling very saintly or tolerant yesterday mike !!

Could Timks possibly have been Browneyes99 in a previous life ?
