I have ******** fo 9 across which makes 7 down ?o?s?e
if the answer is wrasse , what is 9 across please

[devadiva]

That should read ******** for 9 across

[keyboardix]

9 across is ********

[keyboardix]

Website thinks that the artist's name is rude, so, for 9 across amalgamate these two sections:
P**SAR** and *IS***RO

[Vimto]

I wondered why my last message didn't appear with my thanks. Now I know. I had, and I'll have to be careful, the name of the artist with two esses and one "R" but ending in "ario". That's why I thought it was an "i". It's becoming a bit ridiculous all this censorship.

[cheshunt]

Are you all ******** ing about ???

[cheshunt]

I realise what is going on now. The website is too coy to print the 1st 4 letters.

[Vimto]

cheshunt, I might not get away with this one, but here goes. Two men come out of the Pub one Saturday night and decide to walk home along the canal as it's a lovely evening. After half a mile or so they both feel the call of nature and proceed to warm up the canal so to speak. one turns to his mate and says, "by gum, waters cold", the other, after some contemplation replies, "I, and deep"! My grandad told me that one forty years ago.

[Brooksy]

puts me in mind of the Morecambe & Wise running joke, which went on for many years without the punchline. Eric says, "two old men sitting in deckchairs, one says, it`s nice out today", Ernie says , you can`t tell that one! & we`re left guessing. Apparently, the never broadcast reply was "yes, I think I`ll get mine out as well!".
