I thought I had completed this, but I see I have
SACK for 2a (poke) and need 4d burning (5)
c?i?e. Please help.

Thank you

[merlinius]

Poke could be STAB and then burning might be AFIRE

[katburd]

I think I had stab and alite? but not sure if that would have been right.

[poortony]

ah yes, Thank you Merlinius, I first though of afire, but
had got it into my head sack was right - so I am going
for STAB and AFIRE.

Thank you, hope you have a nice day.

[katburd]

just forget that , I should have checked on alite before I sent it off, oh well "often wrong but never in doubt" thats me

[poortony]

Good morning Katburd, I thought I had this finished
last night, didn't get me walk, a friend arrived so it
was not to this morning when I ran my eye over it,
realised I had not finished this part.
Think I'll toss a coin for afire and alite.

Thank you, happy crosswording (is there such a word?)

[merlinius]

Tony, there's no such word as alite. It's ALIGHT. Good luck. M

[katburd]

I have checked the word now, and I think you should stick with afire. good luck.

[merlinius]

Not unless you're talking about tricalcium silacate of course!

[poortony]

right Katburd I am going for AFIRE.
Merlinius, to too early to go in to that one,
but I shall come back to you.
Hope the crossword setter doesn't read that
one - I'll never be off this site.

Good morning and thank you both.

Tony

[poortony]

ah Merlinius, I checked back on some crosswords,
as I had a feeling that ALITE had come up before -
yes it did, it was in an Irish Crossword the clue
being Tricalcius Silitate and the answer being ALITE.
I had eventually got it then by googling it.
I enjoyed looking over those xwords again, it helps
Thank you.
I do enjoy this site.
