7a cancel book with missing article (5) - ***U* - is it 'scrub' and if so why latter part of clue?

[Beatrice35]

Could it be Annul?

[Rollo]

Annul

Annual minua the second A.

[Beatrice35]

An- article
Annul- declare a law or contract or marriage invalid.
Not sure where the book part comes in, however, maybe another poster can say whether annul is right or how all the clue makes perfect sense. Fairly new to cryptics. This was just an educated guess. Warmest wishes, Bea :-)

[Beatrice35]

Thanks Rollo :-) Brain working pretty well this morning- Bea's that is ;-) Rollo's brain is always working extremely well :-) Bea :-)

[j4277]

thank you both. bea, good luck with your intelligent guesses - mine are not so intelligent, obviously!!! 5 more to go, but it seems harder this week somehow, or maybe it's me being thick (probably).

[Beatrice35]

If RT stands for Radio Times then you are far from 'thick' as you put it as my friend does this fiendish puzzle- never attempted them apart from on here + think they are very difficult, yet to the likes of Aquagility, Rollo, Lie in King, Tyrepill they are probably pretty easy. Never put your fine self down j4277 as there are plenty of monkeys/hyenas in this world who want to do that for you anyhow ( yet do not listen to them either) + always walk tall with your head high. For the fact that you want to stimulate your brain with such tough puzzles in the first place is something to be applauded. Also, note there are intelligent fools out there so some may have the knowledge yet lack wisdom ;-)! So be happy with whom you are :-) Bea is middle of the road intelligent wise yet above average commons sense wise. We are all different yet all wonderful in our own unique way.
Have a fabulous day j4277 :-) Warmest wishes, Bea a delicate yet happy flower :-)

[Beatrice35]

By the way, Aquagility, Tyrepill, Novalis, Rollo, Lie in King, Schutzengel, Baitress + Aquagility are all lovely as well as intelligent- true geniuses :-)

Sure you know whom are the monkeys/hyenas here ;-)

Take care j4277 :-) May your day be blessed
Dios te bendiga! Un gran abrazo, a big hug, Bea :-)

[Catron]

And then there are those who are arrogant in calling themselves above average and the best apple and yet who also call themselves a delicate flower like no-one else would do who is not mentally unstable!

[Beatrice35]

Catron obviously recognises herself as a monkey or a hyena ;-)

[Catron]

More lies Beatrice35? You are so full of them - you have pulled the wool over so many people's eyes, they actually believe you when you tell your untruths.

[j4277]

miaow! bea, thx for your kind comments; I would have liked to continue the discourse, but not thru this medium. shame there is no email facility!

[smouse]

monkeys and hyenas isnt kind at all and sometimes Bea you would be better off in the chat section

[Tallulah!]

Hi Catron,
My hubby honestly BEAVERS away at RT Xword and finishes it all by himself every week and just posts it off in time the weekend before it's due. He is clever because I can never help at all and I can say it of him. Better keep quiet about my virtues?
Bea, I don't really understand why you have to call people hyenas and monkeys. smouse is right. All this silly chat belongs in the chatterbank. You'd probably feel at home there.

T the Blankhead. Get it.

[oddboddy]

I'll put my vote with the monkeys after all better a chimp than a chump lol

[Beatrice35]

Tallulah- you are such a turncoat/schadenfreude. One minute you are friendly then the next you are nasty then friendly then nasty again. So now you have revealed your true colours will ignore you with the rest of the troop of monkeys- no more chanches for you Tal. Chatterbank is not for me. Will go wherever pleases me + say whatever like as am my own person. Those who want to twist my words or misinterpret them always will so matters not to me- water off this swan's back!! Chimpanzees are lovely yet the monkeys here are not like the monkeys you see in the zoo or in the wild - unklike them they are not cute + they are very foolilsh! Love all wildlife except for the wildflife here who lack any real wit, wisdom + or imagination. Warm wishes to all the sensible soulful people here on AB :-) Bea :-)

[smouse]

If you keep insulting people I think you might find that there are no more chances for you either Bea.

You seem to take life a little to seriously and without a sense of humour you are going to be in a sorry state

[Beatrice35]

Have a great sense of humour as a matter of fact. Am not serious either except at being serious at what is important in this life- am very down to earth/ balanced. Just will not tolerate fools or foolishness. Sometimes best of all to ignore them as this drives them the craziest. If any fool here does not have time for me then this is fantastic!! Only have time for those whom are lovely + they have time for Bea :-). Have many friends- not boasting, just a fact. Am always honest about self. Honest as a person. Love to encourage all the good people out there who need a boost. Have no desire to be friendly or be friends with fools so their opinions matter not in the slightest to Bea even though they are bizarrely deluded in thinking that care about what they think or say which is really quite funny!!
:-) ;-) Bea :-) ;-)
