2d Watch a volcano, standing by: trouble-shooter (9) .. I think answer is Vigilante (trouble shooter) and I can see "watch" as either vigil or vigilant, but where does volcano fit in ?
God knows S ! I put vigilante too !
I give up with this crossword .Have just consigned it to the rubbish bin as I could not finish the wretched thing !
It must be one the most vague cryptics around .
Hi shaney ... I still have about 5 unsolved, and will leave it until the morning now. I agree that a good number of the clues are really obscure, and wonder why I soldier on with it each week!!
I must admit that until quite recently I hadn't got into the mind of this setter, but, for the past couple of weeks it has been plain sailing (apart from the one in the bottom left hand corner which I presume is rush ? )
I am the same ..I cannot get into the mindset of it .
I very rarely finish it without help .Anyway I was sick sore and tired of looking at it so off it went for recycling !
Take care and a goodnight to you both..
