OK - the annual torture is here and I had my arm twisted to judge the junior classes (so half the mums will hate me, I accept that, I have broad shoulders). The schedule means that I am fairly safe...
21D Fashion is OK with university - Heaven help us! It's the last one and I have 'I ask you', but I can't parse it all - most of it, but not all, so somewhere I'm thinking wrongly. Help, please, and...
The rhubarb has gone mad! It won't be cookable for much longer and I could do with any ideas other than cook it to 'crumble' state and then freeze. Thanks for anything. :)
We have one of these clever TVs and we are not clever enough to use it properly. We seem to be OK on BBC and get Look North, but for some reason we get the news for around Southampton on ITV, 'Medway...
Hope someone can help we've read the booklet back to front several times and can't find any reference. We had one of the usual, annoying, cuts in electricity a couple of months ago. Usually everything...
I thought we were winning with our little Minette, she was comfortable, strolling in the sunshine and had begun to eat much better (poached chicken and a bowl of double cream a day), but this morning...
Hi all! Puzzled by 30D Animal of the big cats group - 6 letters. We have T?G?R? Answer should be Tigers, but that doesn't agree with the clue. Is it a misprint again, please? Thanks in advance.:)...
There was a proud Mummy moment earlier, so I thought I'd enter this. 10 Yr. old sproglet has had her story published in the national Young Writers just-released book (called 'Fear Itself') not only...
OK - youngest female sprog has two kids (nearly 7 and just-turned 5). Eldest is a v. v. intelligent boy - but a discipline problem; youngest (girl) is already composing songs and is very musical and...
Good morning everyone, glad you are out there. I'd worked out that 3D had to be 'Iron' and was feeling quite pleased - until I realised that I had only noted down 2 of Sat. GK's shaded clues to...
I've been forced into Windows 10 (which I hate). Coping with emails and this site. C. 20 mins. ago everything shimmered and now the font is so tiny that I can scarcely read it. I've logged off and...
Help please! 17A In physics atomic nuclei with the same atomic numbers and mass, but different energy states. Have I_O_E_S. It has to be ISO-something. Isomers? Been ploughing through unintelligible...
'Morning all. Tearing our hair out here (and Mr. J2 hasn't much to start with) over 10a City that was the 1st capital of modern Serbia. K?A?U?E?A? I'm learning lots about Serbian history as I trawl...
Has anyone else been diagnosed with this and what were the outcomes and how long does it take? My left heel started hurting about 4 weeks ago - I thought I'd bruised it and carried on. It got worse...
Hello all. Can't spend any more of this lovely day struggling, so could someone please help. 16D 'End of Star Trek, coy about its technology'. I have Rocketry, but can't justify it all. 22D 'Rabbit...
Not that anyone can do, or say anything, but I am sad this evening because my little cat, Minette, is hospitalised at Filey vets. Can't fault their service.(She had to chose Bank Holiday, didn't she?...
'Morning all! 18D is puzzling us rather. A ship's galley or kitchen. We have come up with 'caboose' because it was a guards' van on a train and they could eat there. Is this applicable to a ship,...
