Telegraph Quick Friday 9th

1d Debonair (7) and 25d African country (5) Think I may have a couple of wrong answers :( so won't put any letters!

[sarumite]

I don't often get round to this crossword, but have just looked at 25d and think answer is Zaire, with 24a being Pizza.

[chizzy22]

Well done sarumite! Thank you! I was thinking pasta.. Please reply again if you know 1d :)

1d Chipper

[sarumite]

Ja .. I had got to chipper for 1d but left with P?L?U for 11a Diplomatic Office .. have you got this one?

[sarumite]

Now I see why it's shown as a quick crossword .. in my haste I read the wrong clue 11a instead of 10a !! ;0)

[johnalex]

Howdy (S)
11a Embassy
10a Pilau
not forgetting the Daily Pun 1a / 4a (Have you sussed?!)

[chizzy22]

Thanks johnalex - and sarumite again! Crossword complete! sarumite thanks for making me chuckle - thought it was only me who did things like that! ;)

[sarumite]

Ja .. I don't normally do this crossword, but often look at the opening play on words. I looked at wrong clue attempting to assist chizzy .. see above!!
Yes I liked todays pun " Corsicans" Corps/Sickens.
cheers (S) ;-)

S ... Yes I realised soon as I'd posted my message, even though I 'refreshed' first (always use F5). The DTQ sometimes takes longer than the DX Crusader (15mins), as I'm snookered if I don't know the word!
