[viscountb]

Yes thanks JJ109 for that.

[werbone]

I have ARAB for 8a. (Contained in PARABLE)

[werbone]

What have you for 28a? I think 28a has to be SPITE but dunno why. Where does 135 degrees fit in?

[Captain2]

werbone, why not post your own question with the clue so others can help!!

[werbone]

My bad, Captain2!
28a Indulging nasty desire to be hurtful to others, I put mine in 135o. [degrees]. S _ I _ E.
I think I know now why it's SPITE but I'll leave it with you a while.

[Captain2]

Isn't 135 degrees S(outh) E(ast)?

Haven't got the clue so can't help further.

[Captain2]

Yep, MINE = PIT

[Captain2]

we crossed posts there ^^^

[werbone]

Yes, I just twigged that much too. Then PIT is a MINE in between.
