Here I am again. Help please. I would like to know if my intuitive answers for a couple are right and if so why?? 8d Dugout location P - G - / T - - - E is it page three?
3d Old song composed enthralling sad trivia bod ( 4,10) G-O-/ -I_ - - - - O- - is it good vibrations. I feel sure it is an anagram of some of the clue.15a Prince arrived before church deserted (5) A - E - -_and 17d Major rebellion in the pool, so to speak? (7) - - - - I - - Thanks. I ahave done some myself honest!!_

15a (c)ameer(e)

17d taiping (sounds like typing) as already answered by rosles)

[cruciverbali]

3 down is an anagram as you suspect - O (for 'old') song surrounding trivia bod. It's an 'and lit' clue, ie the whole clue is also the definition.

Thanks I think my general knowledge needs improving. I knew ameer but not cameere so could not understand the church part .

[cruciverbali]

Arrived = came
Before = ere

[esmerelda3]

thanks now I feel really daft but hopefully I will get the hang of it eventually.

Page Three.....A dug is a nipple which you would find 'out' on page three!

Hi esmerelda - 'church deserted' means CE (Church of England) removed from Came erE. ☺ja

[esmerelda3]

Thanks to you all It is much easier for me to learn all these little snippets and codes from you as they crop up. I despair when I delve into my helpful book! Thanks to you all. I have ,with help, finished for this week.

[johnalex]

Well done Esmerelda - just remember, you solved more than we did!

Esmerelda, I came across this clue today and thought of you:

Meet frisky centurion leaving church (7, two words)

Hello I thought at first you had somehow managed to glean a little of my character when I scanned your message and saw FRISKY and you thought of me!!. On closer inspection I see it was the leaving church part. I will see if I can come up with an answer it will be a good limbering up exercise before the guardian on Saturday. E
