19d ADVERSE......I think....:-))

[sarumite]

12a Yes .. Doss(i)er

13a Yes .. Ro[o]ster

[Jumbuck]

12a yes, vagrant = dosser

13a rooster - o within roster

18d unicorn - look at origin of word dilemma

19d adverse = 'd' (democrat) within 'a verse' (part of chapter)

[ladyalex]

happy to help :-))

And still there are those who think giving answers to TWELVE questions from one crossword is acceptable. Astonishing.

[creamegg]

catron if you dont like it, move on.....you dont need to open this thread.

[sarumite]

And still there are those whose main purpose in life appears to be negative criticism.
Astonishing!!

[Catron]

No, creamegg - you are right, I do not need to look at this thread but when you have the gall to enter a competition and try to win over someone who is very likely to have done most of the crossword themselves, then it needs to be said.

Those who have helped you cheat, and that is what you are doing - you never ask for anything other than prize crosswords - have to realise that this kind of multiple answering of questions is no better than helping a person cheat in an exam. How you would live with yourself were you to win, I and most crossword lovers, cannot possibly comprehend.

[Jumbuck]

I don't do this crossword so I ain't bothered.

[Catron]

And there are the views of someone who could not care less that they have encouraged somebody to cheat in such a blatant manner - 'I ain't bothered'. No care at all for others who have bothered to do this crossword and deserve a better chance at a prize than creamegg clearly does.

[Jumbuck]

If it means that they have a better chance at winning than a whinger like you then I'll keep on trying to help them.

[Catron]

Fool, jumbuck! Whinger? Try thinking of those who have slogged for maybe a few hours to get the answers themselves and who you may have robbed of a possible win. You, yourself, are perhaps the most amoral person on this part of the site - you have absolutely no idea of fair play and what is right and wrong and do not see how you pander to those who are lazy, greedy, or too impatient to work answers out for themselves.

Oh and as for your pathetic remark about allowing cheats to prosper over me, then you may like to know that I do not even enter the crossword to which you have helped give nearly half the answers! Your neighbour, on the other hand, or even a friend perhaps, may have worked hard to get the answers themselves - but do you think of them at all? No, you clearly do not, just like all the others on this thread and on creamegg's other thread. I care not that if I am seen as negative or a whinger - at least I have a moral backbone that you and quite a few others are lacking.

[Jumbuck]

Thanks for the laugh, it's so easy to get you into an apoplectic fit of sputtering moral indignation.
