Hi AQ you're up and about early - I've just logged on to do my bit and here you are already !! I agree, they're not the most obvious - what's a blind shrimp ?? I'd go for Roman Blind, but then where does that leave us ?? Needless to say, no points for me in that little lot !!
OK will go and see how the rest of us got on and be back later S
Steff, I think that may well have been what Kate had in mind. I'm very happy to go along with that - maybe one of the cognoscente will confirm before you start counting the (not very many) correct scores.
Oh you dear old thing, you are talking to me and I agree completely - hopefully one of the really bright sparx will come along and confirm or just blow us both out of the water !! We'll wait and see.......
morning, london_lassy - luckily the point is moot, nobody had Hill Figure, Tommy Hilfiger or even a Fairy Hill for that matter
are you ok with the other three 'combinations' ie
Lounge Lizard
Fairy Shrimp
Roman Blind
I've gone through and scored and while not overwhelming apart from Lounge Lizard, there were takers for the other two......anyone else have any thoughts ??
Hill figure is not given in my Chambers or Collins dictionary
BUT
is given online in Wikipedia
NOW you know where KM is constructing the crossword from!
london_lassy was in first with Lounge Lizard, entrant #20 Christiana found the Fairy Shrimp and a couple of entries later cpfcrosiel gambled with the Roman Blind and both also picked up an extra point with Lounge Lizard as a 'good guess'
Magyar scored two points for 'good guesses' and a further 22 entries each collected one point
So after the first week the Leader Board looks like this -
# 3 points - Christiana & cpfcrosiel
# 2 points - london_lassy & Magyar
Congratulations to all the points scorers and better luck to the rest of us next week ............ciao for now S
