Lash - as in cat'o'ninetails and lash together

[Lie-in King]

Good morning m'lady - could it be -

Lash - as "to bind, secure" & cat o' nine tails (?)

[BigDave44]

Now that I know that you're still around, Lie-in King, I can go to my bed!!

[ladyalex]

Thanks, Bigdave44.
And good morning to you , Your Maj. (And thank you)

As you can see, i am still struggling on with the cryptics, but I suspect that the cryptic prizewinners have nothing to fear from me.
:-))

[BigDave44]

I have become convinced that the prizewinners crib their answers from this site and don't leave anything for the rest of us!!

[ladyalex]

Well, it's the taking part, isn't it ......but it would be good to win something occasionally.

[Lie-in King]

Thanks BigDave! I shan't be up too much longer...

m'lady - nor from me, I've not had a sniff of a win for 8 or 9 years now...the fun's in the doing & trying though! :-))

[ladyalex]

The difference between us, though, Sire, is that you can solve the puzzles and therefore deserve the prize.....
Hope your kingdom is in good heart.

[Lie-in King]

Well, the weather's bad & the peasants are revolting, but other than that, all's well, thank you!

I really don't mind who wins, but as you say, an occasional mention in dispatches might be nice - as would getting more than 1 number on the lottery...

[ladyalex]

I've given up on the lottery completely now.....spend the money on stamps to send in the crosswords instead.:-)

Glad to hear that you're more cheerful...it's stopping the thinking that does it.
Off to bed now...goodnight.
Curtsies and exits backwards in fear of being taken for a revolting peasant.
:-))

[Lie-in King]

Absolutely nothing revolting or peasanty to your aspect, m'ladyalex!

Good night & sleep well...

Bows with just the right amount of deference...
