OK (Magazine) in Bles(s) lay hands on.

I can't help (I thought you were saying it is raining)

OK magazine
Bless someone by laying hands on them - religious rite

As an add on - 'trousers' in used here as a containment indicator.

Never come across 'trousers' as indicating a concealed word before but I rather like it.

Yes, it's a good one.

On that subject Jack, here's a good one from a while back (Telegraph, I think):

It was the Telegraph.

Am I the only one thinking it was raining then?

Have you a tile loose?

You're not alone Bill, it is raining here :o(

Is it single?

It is.

Parsing 8 Down is it, Ben?

Just realised the significance of Parsing 8 down. Slow on the uptake tonight.

Baldric

Certainly is parsing it down Bill :-)

Question Author

Yeah, "trousers" as a containment is new to me. (Also, as an American, OK magazine is new to me.)
